6. Listening 3.1. You will hear a student discussing a seminar with her tutor. Before you listen you have some time to look at questions 1to 4. Now as you listen answer questions 1 to 4.
W: Thanks for seeing me on such short notice I know you are busy.
M: No problem. What do you want to speak to me about?
W: Well, I’ve been thinking about the subject of my seminar. I’ve thought about a range of ideas all based around communication. At first I thought I might present something on family dynamics. Then I thought I would research the differences and the way men and women relate to each other when dating. You know, the differences and how they communicate mates want requests and so on.
M: That sounds like a very interesting topic. They are probably too long for 30 minutes seminar.
W: Yes, that’s what I thought. But I still like to present a seminar about the ways of communicating. Do you think I could present a seminar on the styles of communication? I didn’t file by different researches and used as the bases for inventories? Maybe I could just focus on those most commonly used by world place psychologists.
M: That sounds like a good way to focus the topic. So that it doesn’t become unmanageable. It’s important that you narrow down the topic of your seminar and present more in-depth look as one part of a broad topic. As you know you only have 30 minutes, and it’s about quality not quantity. Make sure you keep that in mind because we will be considering the depth of knowledge presented. When we evaluate each seminar and as the seminar is worth 3 quarters of your whole grade it’s really worth doing the research and putting in the work.
W: I am going to go to the library this afternoon and get start on my research. I know there are some good books that discuss several most widely used tests.
M: There were lots of resources you should look at. But I think you need to keep off your research by reading different tests. So that you can compare the items on the number and kind of communication styles presented in each. Also although books were a good place to get some information the majority of your research needs to come from the articles and journals. These are much more up to date than books. Most of the recent articles will be on the shelves. Don’t forget to check out the micro fishes as well. The library doesn’t have all the articles in paper form.
W: OK. Thanks for your help. I’d better going get start at.
That is the end of listening 3.1.
