Interpersonal Comunications

Assessment 2: Video Recording and Written Assessment

Length: 2000 words

Description:
You are required to record a face to face dyadic interpersonal communication between yourself and
another person. This must not be scripted nor be a mock counselling Week but rather a natural
conversation/chat of 5-10 minutes maximum. Record the role-play on DVD for use in your
presentation and include this with your Assessment.
Following from this, you will be required to
present a written self-critique where you reflect critically upon your own strengths and limitations
during this conversation.
Your self-critique should address the following points:
 Identify and reflect upon your strengths demonstrated in the role-play. Use verbatim quotes to
support your critique. Using relevant literature, define all of your concepts and support why you
feel the skills were used effectively.
 Identify and reflect upon your limitations in the role-play and how you could have improved
communication. Use verbatim quotes to support your critique. Using relevant literature, define
all of your concepts and support why you feel the skills were used ineffectively and how you may
improve your communication.

Instructions:
 Follow APA academic writing guidelines/structures – ensure the Assessment has an introduction,
main body of information and a conclusion.
 Please note that you will be graded on your ability to self-critique and not on the quality of the
skills that you use in the recording per se. In other words, your written Assessment will reflect
your critical insight into your overall use of interpersonal communication skills.
