Understanding Turn-Taking in Discussions
Effective discussion requires participants to take turns speaking and listening attentively. When one person is speaking, others should wait for their turn before responding. Interruptions or speaking out of turn can disrupt the flow of conversation, leading to confusion or frustration among participants. Practicing good turn-taking involves patience, attentive listening, and recognizing when it is appropriate to speak. Misunderstandings in turn-taking can often be corrected by polite interruptions or clarifications, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to contribute equally.
