Notas del editor
- -Many people study English for many years. Even after years of studying, they go to an English speaking country and realize that they cannot say one sentence correctly. This is going to change for people who finish this course. You will be able to speak English in many different situations.
- Phrase (Group of words)
- First, let me be frank. There is no magic formula to become a fluent speaker of any language. One of the reasons this is so is that each individual is unique. Students learn differently. Moreover, just as some students are better at basketball or math than other students, some students are better at studying foreign languages than other students. One’s natural ability to learn another language is called language aptitude. The higher your language aptitude; the easier it will be for you to learn a foreign language. The lower your language aptitude; the harder it will be. However, no matter what your language aptitude, everyone is able to make progress. http://www.gdyzy.edu.cn/yxx/DocLib16/How%20To%20Improve%20Your%20Spoken%20English.pdf
- When we say the word, “communication,” what do you think of? Many people will think of the spoken word. People who are hearing impaired, however, might think of sign language. People who are visually impaired might think of Braille as well as sounds. In this module, we will explore the different ways in which we communicate.
- The dictionary defines communication as, “the imparting or interchange of thoughts, opinions, or information by speech, writing, or signs.” It is also defined as, “means of sending messages, orders, etc., including telephone, telegraph, radio, and television,” and in biology as an, “activity by one organism that changes or has the potential to change the behavior of other organisms.” The effectiveness of your communication can have many different effects on your life, including items such as: • Level of stress • Relationships with others • Level of satisfaction with your life • Productivity • Ability to meet your goals and achieve your dreams • Ability to solve problems
- We communicate in three major ways: Spoken: There are two components to spoken communication. Verbal: This is what you are saying. Paraverbal: This means how you say it – your tone, speed, pitch, and volume. Non-Verbal: These are the gestures and body language that accompany your words. Some examples: arms folded across your chest, tracing circles in the air, tapping your feet, or having a hunched-over posture. Written: Communication can also take place via fax, e-mail, or written word.
- Many attempts to communicate are nullified by saying too much. Robert Greenleaf Have you ever heard the saying, “It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it”? It’s true! Try saying these three sentences out loud, placing the emphasis on the underlined word. “I didn’t say you were wrong.” (Implying it wasn’t me) “I didn’t say you were wrong.” (Implying I communicated it in another way) “I didn’t say you were wrong.” (Implying I said something else) Now, let’s look at the three parts of paraverbal communication; which is the message told through the pitch, tone, and speed of our words when we communicate.

- When you are communicating, your body is sending a message that is as powerful as your words. In our following discussions, remember that our interpretations are just that – common interpretations. (For example, the person sitting with his or her legs crossed may simply be more comfortable that way, and not feeling closed-minded towards the discussion. Body language can also mean different things across different genders and cultures.) However, it is good to understand how various behaviors are often seen, so that we can make sure our body is sending the same message as our mouth. Think about these scenarios for a moment. What non-verbal messages might you receive in each scenario? How might these non-verbal messages affect the verbal message? Your boss asks you to come into his office to discuss a new project. He looks stern and his arms are crossed. A team member tells you they have bad news, but they are smiling as they say it. You tell a co-worker that you cannot help them with a project. They say that it’s OK, but they slam your office door on their way out. This is the first goal of this module: to help you understand how to use body language to become a more effective communicator. Another goal, one which you will achieve with time and practice, is to be able to interpret body language, add it to the message you are receiving, and understand the message being sent appropriately. With this in mind, let’s look at the components of non-verbal communication.
- In 1971, psychologist Albert Mehrabian published a famous study called Silent Messages. In it, he made several conclusions about the way the spoken word is received. Although this study has been misquoted often throughout the years, its basic conclusion is that 7% of our message is verbal, 38% is paraverbal, and 55% is from body language. Now, we know this is not true in all situations. If someone is speaking to you in a foreign language, you cannot understand 93% of what they are saying. Or, if you are reading a written letter, you are likely getting more than 7% of the sender’s message. What this study does tell us is that body language is a vital part of our communication with others. With this in mind, let’s look at the messages that our body can send.
- Body language is a very broad term that simply means the way in which our body speaks to others. We have included an overview of three major categories below; we will discuss a fourth category, gestures, in a moment. The way that we are standing or sitting Think for a moment about different types of posture and the message that they relay. Sitting hunched over typically indicates stress or discomfort. Leaning back when standing or sitting indicates a casual and relaxed demeanor. Standing ramrod straight typically indicates stiffness and anxiety. The position of our arms, legs, feet, and hands Crossed arms and legs often indicate a closed mind. Fidgeting is usually a sign of boredom or nervousness. Facial expressions Smiles and frowns speak a million words. A raised eyebrow can mean inquisitiveness, curiosity, or disbelief. Chewing one’s lips can indicate thinking, or it can be a sign of boredom, anxiety, or nervousness.

- This activity can be introduced with a demonstration. Explain that each person will receive a different question. Then choose one question and ask it to 3 or 4 students, writing their names and answers on the blackboard. Afterwards, calculate your statistics and present a report to the class: "I surveyed 3 people on the topic of spicy food and I found that 67% enjoy spicy food while the remaining 33% do not." Explain that the students should try to interview as many classmates as possible, until you tell them to stop. Make it clear that they should write the names and answers on a piece of paper. Distribute one question to each student. After they have spoken to people nearby, encourage them to leave their seats and find more people to interview. After 10–15 minutes, ask students to return to their seats and calculate their results. http://waze.net/oea/activities/19

- Good questioning skills are another building block of successful communication. We have already encountered several possible scenarios where questions helped us gather information, clarify facts, and communicate with others. In this module, we will look closer at these questioning techniques that you can use throughout the communication process.
- We discussed open questions a bit when exploring the STAR model earlier. Open questions get their name because the response is open-ended; the answerer has a wide range of options to choose from when answering it. Open questions use one of six words as a root: Who? What? Where? When? Why? How? Open questions are like going fishing with a net – you never know what you’re going to get! Open questions are great conversation starters, fact finders, and communication enhancers. Use them whenever possible.
- Closed questions are the opposite of open questions; their very structure limits the answer to yes or no, or a specific piece of information. Some examples include: • Do you like chocolate? • Were you born in December? • Is it five o’clock yet? Although closed questions tend to shut down communication, they can be useful if you are searching for a particular piece of information, or winding a conversation down. If you use a closed question and it shuts down the conversation, simply use an open-ended question to get things started again. Here is an example: • Do you like the Flaming Ducks hockey team? • Yes. • Who is your favorite player?

- So far, we have discussed all the components of sending a message: non-verbal, para-verbal, and verbal. Now, let’s turn the tables and look at how to effectively receive messages.
- Hearing is easy! For most of us, our body does the work by interpreting the sounds that we hear into words. Listening, however, is far more difficult. Listening is the process of looking at the words and the other factors around the words (such as our non-verbal communication), and then interpreting the entire message. Let’s start out slowly. Here are seven things that you can do to start becoming a better listener right now. Pick a few of them and write them in your action plan. 1. When you’re listening, listen. Don’t talk on the phone, text message, clean off your desk, or do anything else. 2. Avoid interruptions. If you think of something that needs to be done, make a mental or written note of it and forget about it until the conversation is over. 3. Aim to spend at least 90% of your time listening and less than 10% of your time talking. 4. When you do talk, make sure it’s related to what the other person is saying. Questions to clarify expand, and probe for more information will be key tools. (We’ll look at questioning skills later on in the workshop.) 5. Do not offer advice unless the other person asks you for it. If you are not sure what they want, ask! 6. Make sure the physical environment is conducive to listening. Try to reduce noise and distractions. (“Would you mind stepping into my office where I can hear you better?” is a great line to use.) If possible, be seated comfortably. Be close enough to the person so that you can hear them, but not too close to make them uncomfortable. 7. If it is a conversation where you are required to take notes, try not to let the note-taking disturb the flow of the conversation. If you need a moment to catch up, choose an appropriate moment to ask for a break.
- When we are listening to others speak, there are three kinds of cues that we can give the other person. Using the right kind of cue at the right time is crucial for keeping good communication going. Non-Verbal: As shown in the Mehrabian study, body language plays an important part in our communications with others. Head nods and an interested facial expression will show the speaker that you are listening. Quasi-Verbal: Fillers words like, “uh-huh,” and “mm-hmmm,” show the speaker that you are awake and interested in the conversation. Verbal: Asking open questions using the six roots discussed earlier (who, what, where, when, why, how), paraphrasing, and asking summary questions, are all key tools for active listening. (We will look at questioning skills in a moment.) These cues should be used as part of active listening. Inserting an occasional, “uh-huh,” during a conversation may fool the person that you are communicating with in the short term, but you’re fooling yourself if you feel that this is an effective communication approach.
