Emotional Intelligence
Conversation as a social skill can be awkward and difficult to acquire, but as you encourage your children to continue to supply the information while they are expressing their feelings, as you listen and draw them out, you help them to master the art of conversation.
Providing the right kind of information during conversation is an important social skill that our children need to acquire now against the future when they will be handling more mature conversations.
We as teachers, need to disabuse the cultural mindset that it is only the 'local gossip' (amebo/gbeborun) that ACTIVELY LISTENS to what is being said and what is going on and 'polite people' ignore emotive reactions around them.
Are you helping the learners in your class to develop the art of conversation by teaching them to ACTIVELY listen? 😎
