INTRODUCTION
There are a number of skills that are required by an individual as they are entering into
professional career from their academic field. Learning requires continuous focus from the
individuals. Skills and experience together help in defining clearly what are the major
requirements by the professional for personal growth (Lansdell, Marx and Mohammadali-Haji,
2020). Along with the professional career academic field also requires continuous learning of
various skills. The reflection is describing the journey to incorporate skills and various future
steps that will help to achieve all the objectives and achieve required goals.
REFLECTION
Explain how you have developed as a learner during this module, giving examples from your
experience on the module
Every individual requires to focus upon their individual goals and objectives so that they
can continuously grow the skills required for the field they want to work in future. Being a
learner I have certainly analysed that there are a number of skills that are to be developed by an
individual as they moving towards professional life. One of the most important skills includes
the communication skill in an individual. Communication refers to the way in which information
is moving from one person to the other. It is necessary that effective communication is created
between individuals so that the information does not get lost in the middle. I need to work on
various factors that include sound, speech, vocabulary, listening, pitch, body language and so on
in order to make effective communication. I understood the necessity of communication and then
made sure that I am effectively working on all these factors. I started communicating to my peers
more. I took participation in a number of activities in class. Reading was an important factor that
helped me to enhance my vocabulary. Some of the help was also provided by teachers who
guided me towards the right path. In order to communicate properly it is important for an
individual to first work upon their listening skills. Communication does not only mean
explaining what I am trying to say but I need to understand on how the other person is reacting to
the information I have passed. Presentation were a great way to develop listening skills as after
my presentation there were a number of queries presented by the audience and listening to them
and answering their queries were a help to improve my listening skills.
