Keywords: conversational skills, interpersonal skills, social interaction

Session Type: Experiential

Abstract

This exercise emerged from the need to teach students how to re-engage in face-to-face classroom conversations after 2 years of online teaching. The brief elementary exercise teaches students how to engage in conversation using a graduated steps process. The students learn both the mechanisms to engage in conversation, and the content to develop more meaningful conversations.
