I learned some important things for immigrants, especially for newcomers from Skills for Life in the LINC 4-5 class. I would like to list them below to share with others.
1.Self- Esteem. This talks about how you feel about yourself. You think you are feeling happy or bad, successful or disappointed, and so on.
2.Harmful listening roles. This shows how harmful listening negatively affects us. For example, " You are wrong(evaluation response), "I think you should..."(advice giving response).
3.Active listening. We demonstrate that we understand what they are saying from their point of view, rather than our own with active listening.
4.Pleasure List. When we are feeling unhappy, bad, or frustrated, we should take out our Pleasure List and do something on the list or imagine doing them. Our mood might change.
5.Cultural diversity. Canada is a multicultural country. The more you learn from other country, the better you could communicate with other people.
6. I Message. This allows us to express our feelings, thoughts, and perceptions.
7. Giving Feedback. It could be better for people to use I Messages than You Messages.
8.You Message. It is negative message in some situation. Therefore, it is better for people to use I Message to express theirselves.
