COMMUNICATION 2
Technical Communication
This report is based on analyzing what I am learning in this course. While using the
material that is being provided in the course, the report will mainly contain the three key
aspects or skills from the whole course of Technical Communication. In the context of every
chosen course, a discussion on the application of the aspects of learning from this course to
my own life and learning will take place.
Skills 1: Listening and Speaking
From the aspect 1, I am learning effective speaking and listening skills in the course
of COMM13729 The Art of Technical Communication (ATC). In this context, I am learning
how to improve language speaking and listening through reading and listening effectively and
efficiently. Throughout the course I am learning that, listening needs the fundamental skill of
concentrating attention on the speaker for being able to hear as well as understand what the
other person means speaker is saying (Browning & Cunningham, 2012). On the other hand,
learning from the course suggests that speaking skills need students taking turns, stay on
topic, speak confidently, and speak with clarity (Bodie, 2012).
Furthermore, to deepen my understanding of the aspect, I am attending all the in-class
activities and practical exercises conducted in order to improve my listening and speaking
skills. For instance, I have started reading good books and I usually talk with the people
having good communication skills as well as knowledge about technical communication
(EYR Team, 2018). I am also applying it to my existing knowledge and practice through
focusing my whole attention on the speakers in the daily life so that I can hear as well as
understand the key message of the speaker. I also try to take feedbacks from the people
around me so that I can practice what I have learned till date. I have realized that the new
knowledge, skills, based on ATC course influencing my perception, my conduct, and most
importantly my everyday performance in life (Bumann, Mary, & Sharon Younkin, 2012).
Based on skills and knowledge gained in the ATC course, it is clear that it is going
impact my work, career, as well as future studies positively. It is because communication
plays an important role in daily life. The course learning and studies, will allow me to have
productive conversations in future workplaces and academic workplaces as well. As we
know, good social interactions in the future will require me to listen deeply and carefully so
