Learning Goals Using STAR-Method Case Study

The most imperative outcome that I got after this internship is the experience that I have got in the Canadian Market. It has now furnished me with a thought of how to work in Canada.

Firstly, I was really poor at speaking English. When I go through the gate for foreigners in airport in USA, the officer said to me "Do you have food in your suitcase?". Of course, now I can see his point but then I couldn't understand what he said and I was confused. So it took a half hour to get the gate since I landed in the USA. And fortunately, I finally reached the International English School, FLS but I couldn't follow their class. That's why I study a lot more than other students. Nevertheless, I couldn't feel my English was getting better. I was struggling with the situation. If I would love to communicate with other students or native teachers,

Watch the person as they talk. After speaking, allow them plenty of time to respond. If they feel rushed or pressured to speak, they may become anxious, which can affect their ability to communicate. Avoid finishing their sentences or correcting any errors in their language as this may cause resentment and frustration. Ask what the person prefers. If you do not understand what they are trying to communicate, do not pretend you understand. They may find this patronising and upsetting. It's always best to be honest about your lack of understanding. You could ask for clarification by asking yes/no questions or paraphrasing.

I had set some goals for my internship- to earn experience from it, to earn 3 credits from it, to learn to work in the team, to gain confidence, and gain valuable understanding of the accounting field and will be able to better grasp the things how my coursework is preparing me to enter my chosen career and to strengthen my CV.

-clear speech-in order to help people to understand you are saying, speak clearly, don't cover your mouth with your hands or turn away from the person.

Shahid Khan comments his own experience in an interview with Serena Solomon: “I can't conduct a conversation in three minutes. Maybe I take ten minutes. I don't think in English. This is how an immigrant brain works. I talk in my head in Urdu, but then I have to speak in English.”(Serena Solomon). Do not speak the same language is one of the worst situations that an immigrant has to face with. This is exactly what happened to me when I came to United States. I was looking for a job and I needed to speak with the manager of a store. In Spain people learn English, however, most of them don’t use it and when the time runs they forget important concepts. I couldn’t have a normal conversation with the manager, because all what I wanted to said my brain processed it in Spanish. I didn’t get the job because I did not know how to speak in English. Unfortunately, this is something that every immigrant with a different language have to face

As we advanced through week 4 of Principles of Accounting II, so far, we have absorbed ourselves with a litany of accountancy material. Week 4 continued with variety of content that contained: identifying kinds of shares issued by companies, computing shares, dividends, and stock splits, and documenting treasury stock deals. Also discussed in text and throughout discussion questions was the use of cash flows and types. We also covered both vertical and horizontal analysis.

Be prepared to pause while you are speaking. However, speak at a normal speed. The interpreting process requires more time when two languages are involved.

Know the organisation by studying the performance and rewards data and familiarise myself with the policies and practices.

3. The ACM approach differs from conventional venture firms in the sense that instead of venture capitalists, partners, being key deal makers , each partner would be recruited, trained and managed the same way most business were; where employees , in principal, replaceable.

The proper listening of a foreign learners make them feel all the doors to simplicity of language is open. Listening of a language makes good and cool-hearted learners and speakers. There is no good speaker, who have not been a good listener

I will keep searching for the decent way of improving English skills to reduce the gap between native and second language.

At the beginning of the internship, each intern was required to make a list of goals they hoped to accomplish throughout the internship. We were given four categories to consider. The first area was Leadership Effectiveness. My goals here were: be focused and committed to the engagement and willing to overcome obstacles; maintain a professional approach, especially when representing the organization; and keep a positive attitude and respect others. The second area was Management Effectiveness, and my related goals were: stay within the constraints of time budgets when managing responsibilities; continually seek feedback, formal and informal, to know how/what to improve; and communicate clearly and often to keep team updated on progress of project. Service Excellence was the third area, and my related goals were: understand the why, not just the how, of assignments; learn team expectations and client’s business; and maintain high-quality services using knowledge gained from team. The last area was Marketing, Sales, and Communication. My goals here

To countries, before doing business or exchanging information in some field with each other, the first and also be the most important thing that they have to do is communicate effectively to understand each other. Communiation, in a natural way, is the act of using words to express information, thoughts, etc. to other people so studying how to use English words correctly is very necessary to learners from countries those do not use English as mother
