I found out that I already use the three modes of communication even without knowing the terms themselves. Sometimes, we apply things in the classroom according to our experience without knowing that this is what the latest pedagogy reached and worked on developing for years. I always encourage my students to divide themselves into small groups to discuss and share thoughts together ( this is the interpersonal mode) and this happens after my introduction about what they are going to do and after shedding light on it with some details ( this is the interpretive mode) and at the end they begin discussing with me and with all the class their results ( the presentational mode).  In the past, I used to focus more on the interpretive mode but recently I have found out that the interpersonal is not of less importance. That’s why I mainly focus on it. I think I need to need to change this policy because I have to apply the three modes equally. I should give the most time for my students to discuss, share, and then present.  I have no idea how the distance learning environment will impact my practice because I have never gone through that experience before.
