Implement the SSLANT form of communication deliberately for a day. Share your observations about yourself and how others responded to you. Smile Sit up Listen Ask Questions Nod and Track.
I found that practicing SSLANT for a day was difficult. I think that if I had been able to practice SSLANT for an entire day my teachers may have been more excited to teach. When the students give off tired and annoyed vibes so do the teachers and vice versa. I noticed that instead of engaging us in conversation most of our teachers tell us to take notes. Instead of paying attention to what the teacher is saying we are writing and in turn when we are writing we don't really learn anything. I think that the sit up, listening, asking questions, and tracking portions of SSLANT are good because they allow you to stay focused and engaged in the conversation. I don't necessarily think that the smiling portion is very important.
