For many of her students, the face-to-face conversations with strangers are more nerve-racking than decoding Chaucer. Everybody seems to have a theory about why many young adults have trouble with so-called soft skills, which include the art of persuasion and civil conversation. Blame smartphone addiction, Covid cocooning or helicopter parenting. Regardless of cause, a growing number of college professors in various disciplines around the U.S. are trying to keep professional chitchat from becoming a lost language. When teaching "The Canterbury Tales," Mathews holds a mixer where students pose as characters from the book while delivering an elevator pitch. Students learn the book, she said, and ease into networking "in a way that's not so personalized, so they don't feel like they’re on display." In class, David S. Salisbury, a professor of geography, environment and sustainability at the University of Richmond, starts with the basics, stopping the class when a student refers to a peer by anything other than their name. "If a student says, 'I really enjoyed Brian's idea, but I think this might be something to add,' I say, 'I love how you mentioned Brian's name.' I give positive reinforcement to teach them these interpersonal skills," he said. 【词汇过关】 请写出下面文单词在文章中的中文意思。 1.medieval英 [ˌmedˈiːvl] 美 [ˌmediˈiːvl] adj. ____________________________ 2.coax英 [kəʊks] 美 [koʊks] v. ____________________________ 3.mixer n. ____________________
