The most early phase of the brainstorming process has been rather challenging for our group, reason being we were having a somewhat hard time figuring out what the exact message we aimed to convey to students of different origins should be. The solution to this would be effective communication. To me, in regard to this very podcast project, communication means delivering an underlying message by exhibiting a story, a plotline or at least a set of dynamic scenes instead of simply paraphrasing the message. This, however, doesn't mean that communication should be vague and open to too much interpretation.
What I look forward to learning from working on this podcast includes accurately capturing what types of topics are most attractive to a diverse audience base, effectively establishing connections between each scene and each point we look to make and, of course, conducting conversations and monologues with natural Japanes.
Communication will definitely help you to figure out your message. Our group had a little bit of trouble with our message as well. But as soon as we started discussing, our message came more clear and concise for our audience. I am glad we are going to be able to practice our Japanese speaking ability and become more fluent.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to formulating some more natural and involved conversations too. Good luck with everything. I think the problem you're describing about not knowing where to draw the line between having a broad and dynamic enough story to be interesting, and having a specific message to communicate, is pretty universal at this point. It'll be interesting to see how it all turns out!
