Understanding Turn-taking in Discussions

During a group discussion, effective turn-taking is essential for a productive conversation. Participants wait for their turn to speak, listen actively, and signal when they wish to contribute. Good turn-taking ensures everyone has a chance to share their ideas and helps prevent interruptions. For example, a student might raise their hand or use a polite phrase like 'May I add something?' to indicate they are ready to speak. When everyone follows these cues, the discussion flows smoothly, and all voices are heard.
