Throughout the class time, I noticed several Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills (BICS.) The first instance that I noted was when the teacher Mrs, Bayers called the messenger to run something to the office. I believe she whispered to the girl, “Take this to the office.” This is an example of BICS because it was a face-to-face conversation. This conversation was a basic communication that occurred interpersonally, and it was cognitively undemanding. The student knew it was tradition to take a message somewhere when the teacher called out, “Messenger.” It is also considered BICS because the interaction was context embedded. It was embedded because the teacher told the student exactly where to go as she handed the paper message, so she

The content was also information that they seemed to traditionally deal with every class. They were working on how much hot lunch would cost for that day. This is demanding for the interpreter to go sit closer to the Deaf student’s table in order to interpret everyone 's conversations, or the interpreter to stay positioned at the front of the classroom, and interpret what the interpreter could hear from the front of the …show more content…
This is just Basic Communication Skills between the students. They were still in a group with the teacher learning. This is considered BICS because the context is reduced and not cognitively demanding.

The teacher reprimanded those few students a few times, but they went back to whispering almost every time. The interpreter would have to make a note of the whispering students in the back of the group because the teacher called the students out. If the interpreter decided they were whispering too quietly then the Deaf consumer would possibly ask what was going
