Introduction to Turn-taking in Discussions
Effective communication in discussions relies heavily on proper turn-taking. When participants listen actively, they can identify appropriate moments to speak, avoid interruptions, and ensure everyone has a chance to contribute. Good turn-taking involves noticing cues such as eye contact, body language, and pauses, which signal when it is appropriate to speak or listen. Developing these skills helps keep conversations respectful, organized, and productive.
