SMART Goals for Active Listening:
Here are some examples of SMART goals you can set to improve your active listening skills:

1. Improve comprehension in work meetings:

Specific: I will actively listen during all team meetings by summarizing key points after each agenda item.
Measurable: I will track the number of times I summarize key points and the accuracy of my summaries based on colleague feedback.
Attainable: I will start by summarizing after one agenda item per meeting, then gradually increase to all items over a month.
Relevant: Improved comprehension will lead to better participation and decision-making in meetings.
Time-bound: I will implement this for the next 3 months and evaluate progress then.
2. Enhance communication with family:

Specific: I will practice active listening with my partner by reflecting back their emotions and using open-ended questions during evening conversations.
Measurable: My partner will provide feedback on whether they feel heard and understood by my responses.
Attainable: I will focus on actively listening during one conversation per evening for the next two weeks.
Relevant: Improved communication will strengthen my relationship with my partner.
Time-bound: I will practice this for two weeks and then discuss adjustments with my partner.
3. Become a more supportive friend:

Specific: I will actively listen to a friend facing a challenge by maintaining eye contact, avoiding interruptions, and offering summaries of their situation.
Measurable: My friend will report feeling supported and understood after our conversation.
Attainable: I will dedicate focused listening time during one conversation with a friend per week for a month.
Relevant: Active listening will help me be a more supportive friend.
Time-bound: I will implement this for one month and then reflect on its impact on our friendship.

IELTS Speaking myths. We'll 'de-myth' two together!

What is a myth anyway? A myth, a symbolic narrative, usually of unknown origin and at least partly traditional, that is especially associated with religious belief.

Where do myths come from?  Generally speaking a myth is a folklore genre consisting of narratives that play a fundamental role in a society, such as foundational tales or origin myths.

Myths also come from 'imagining' what took place and forming an idea of it and then sharing it with others as if it actually took place.

Of course it takes place in language learning and in IELTS speaking test.

We'll look into 2 myths students generally think about when it comes to IELTS speaking tests, they are:

Myth 1 -  I have to agree with my examiner’s opinion (if I don't ... )
Myth 2 -  My speaking duration was only 9 minutes long (instead of 11-14). (If it is to occur I ...)

You can finish the rest.

Do you have these kinds of thoughts running through your mind? Generally students say yes, you can be an exception but listen to the podcast just to see what not to do. It's highly recommended.

Enjoy your process and I'd love to have an opportunity to assist the development of your spoken English in IELTS speaking or a job interview preparation instead of teaching you the rulles, grammar etc.

See you in my classes.
