ES2007S is the most useful module that I have taken in NUS
so far. It teaches us how non-verbal cues play a significant role in communication
apart from verbal skills as it can either enhance or distort our message to the
other party. Therefore, it is important to take note of our non-verbal cues in
different settings such as interview.
Besides that, I also learnt how to apply the 7Cs in my presentation
and essay writing. It is essential to be clear, concise and complete in order
to convey our messages effectively. Being grammatically correct is also equally
important as too much grammar and spelling errors will disturb your readers.
The next component of ES2007S which I benefitted greatly is
peer teaching and oral presentation. After receiving feedback from my tutor and
peers, I know what are my strengths and weaknesses. For instance, I am more
mindful of my standing position during presentation to avoid blocking the
projector screen.
The most interesting part of this module is mock interview where
everyone gets to play the role of interviewer, interviewee and observer. Being an interviewee, I am more aware of my body languages now during interview after receiving feedback from my tutor and peers. Being an observer and interviewer, it was
an eye-opening experience for me when I see how my classmates tackle those
difficult interview questions. I can still remember vividly how Jieyang
answered this question “Which one will you choose if you were given an apple
and one dollar?” and he actually chose one dollar because he can buy two apples
with this money.
To end my final blog, I would like to thank Mdm Fazilah for
her patience, guidance and encouragement all these while. I would also like to
thank my classmates for making ES2007S such a fun-filling learning experience.
