Prepare: Learning a second language has so many benefits. Being bilingual increases job opportunities, allows one to earn more money, protects against Alzheimer’s and dementia, improves memory and attention span, and improves decision making, just to name a few. Along with all of those benefits, and many more, learning a second language is often accompanied by apprehension. Will I be able to do this now? The answer is, yes! You will be able to do it, but you must adopt a beginner’s mindset. That means you need to maintain a positive attitude and eagerness no matter how difficult the process becomes for you. Accept that mistakes are part of the process.
Reflect: Reflecting can help prepare for a mental journey. Watch the mindset video above, and think about your purpose and your goals for learning Spanish.
Write: Read through all of the questions below. Choose one question from each section to address in a minimum of three to five sentences. You will answer a total of four questions in your journal response.

Self-assessment of Communication Skills
In this assignment, you will develop an understanding of how good listening is crucial to effective communication and career success. In addition, you will perform a personal assessment of your communication skills and style.
Listening is an integral part of the communication process. Communication in the healthcare setting is vital. This includes communication between doctors and patients, doctors and nurses, clinicians and administrators, and so on.
Based on your learning, create a 3- to 4-page Microsoft Word document that includes answers to the following questions:
· Which topic of conversation makes you uncomfortable? What is the topic? Do you know why you find it difficult to talk about this topic?
· What do you do when you become uncomfortable during a conversation? Do you withdraw? Do you try to change the topic? Do you speak louder or softer? Do you begin to gesticulate?
· Have you had an occasion to talk to a very persuasive or very aggressive person? If you and this person hold different opinions, can you hold to your position? Are you easily "led" in a conversation?
· Are you flexible in a conversation? If a comment made by someone takes the conversation in an unexpected direction, can you adjust quickly? Can you assimilate new information, reassess your position, and continue the conversation?
· When entering into a conversation, do you attempt to eliminate potential distractions and interruptions?
· Do you consciously avoid having important conversations in high traffic public areas where environmental distractions are likely possible? Why?
· Do you put your cell phone in the silence mode when you are likely to have conversations? Why?
· Do you listen without interruption and sufficiently control the conversation to minimize interruption? Why?
· When engaged in a conversation, do you give your undivided attention to the matters being discussed? Why?
· When engaged in discussion, do you develop reflective questions pertinent to the conversation? Why?
· When engaged in discussion, do you make conscious eye contact? Why?
· When involved in conversations, are you cognizant of body language, both the individual you are conversing with and your own? Why?
· Do you have an understanding of body language gestures and posturing?
In a self-assessment summary, provide a list of your communication strengths and weaknesses. Also, provide a plan to address the weaknesses identified.

The role of written dialogue in advising (Talk T1)
Presenters: Jo Mynard and Katherine Thornton, Kanda University of International Studies, Japan
In this session, the presenters explore the nature of the written dialogue between learning advisors and language learners and discuss the importance of this kind of dialogue for the development of learner autonomy. By analysing comments written by learning advisors on students’ work in two different self-directed learning modules over a one-semester period, the researchers identify patterns of written advising which they will share during the presentation. The different approaches that advisors take and specific strategies that they use in written format to interact with students will be presented and discussed.
