• Read the writing prompt below in its entirety. Notice that there are three tasks:

  3. Explain how you can use these skills to improve your computer-mediated communication (CMC).
• Review Chapter 4 in your text.

Reflect: Take time to reflect on the role of language in communication. Due to our reliance on computer-meditated communication, think about the emerging need to pay close attention to how we use written language.

• Discuss the importance of verbal skills in communication.
• Identify at least two specific strategies from the text for improving your verbal communication generally.  
• Consider the special circumstances of computer-mediated communication (CMC). Based on what you’ve learned from Chapter 4, how do you think improved verbal communication can enhance your CMC?

Thoroughly address all three elements of this prompt by writing at least two to three sentences on each element. Use the course readings at least once to help you make your points. Consider copying and pasting these tasks into a word file and addressing each of them separately.
