Task 3 Task 3 This week you will focus on sharing a topic about your field of study in a small group setting in class. The focus will be on you as a speaker and on you as a listener. Listening can be almost as important in small group setting as speaking is. In the workplace, when there is a small group gathered to communicate, it is likely that you will be asked for your input.
