Communication can be slightly different when using it with other people from different backgrounds. Communication can be interpreted in different ways by different people, this is because they may not speak English, if from a different country, or…
Everyone is different and should be treated individually; you learn very quickly people’s individual communication styles. You are dealing with a wide range of personalities and abilities and your own communication style has to deliver to a diverse group with differing skill sets, and communication abilities.…
Miscommunication is misunderstood and can be taken the wrong way. We all have our own perceptions and opinions of how things are said. With this being said it can have negative or positive impact on the people that are close to you. They are many different types of interpersonal conflict and many reasons Usually type of conflict comes from perception of one or both individuals involved that may be completely inaccurate. The Perception could be from formed from, a person’s tone of voice, their speaking style; even their accent can create a negative perception. Often times a stereotype based on culture, and the expectation of how someone is going to respond before communication even begins can ignite a conflict for the very first word.…
If you are speaking to someone that isn’t familiar with the language you are using, it can make it harder for them to receive and understand the message that was sent. This can easily be avoided as you or other staff can either familiarise themselves with the languages they use or using someone else’s skills to get the message across (using a translator or an interpreter). However these can be expensive and hard to find so there is a service you can use over the phone which acts as a translator or an interpreter. Another way of overcoming a language barrier is to use phones/ computers. People can easily gain access to sites/ apps that allows them to translate your message into different languages. This can be a lot cheaper, easier and more convenient than hiring a translator/ interpreter to come in and assist.…
I have found that my idiolect varies when I am in different situations this may be due to the company that I am in. you tend to hear a change within my speech especially when in a sociolect group of friends, when I listened to a recording of my conversation in a sociolect group, I found it very hard to make into a transcript. I tended to use a lot of fillers to provide thinking time or to invite someone else to join in the discussion, I think the generally words I find I use re ones such as ‘um’ or ‘er’. I suppose that I use these fillers or short pauses to take up and empty space within a conversation.…
It is import to notice the other persons reaction when talking to them as we will be able to see or judge, through their body language ,tone and facial expressions, whether or not they are happy with what we am saying. This will help to be able to make them feel more comfortable with what we are saying by changing the way that it is said/spoken, or how it is said or spoken.…
As Team Leader it is part of my job role to be able to communicate with a range of groups and individuals. I regularly change the use of my language on a variant of levels dependant on the target audience. I deal daily with young people who respond effectively to language relevant to them, normally within a relatively informal setting.…

When communicating with other professionals in school our language and behaviour should be more formal and official when speaking to other professionals or senior members of staff, over time this form of communicating will become automatic to that of informal or casual conversations of that in the staff room.…
As I mention earlier in my essay, language & grammar are important forms of communication. When talking to your supervisor you wouldn’t be taken seriously if you are using slang or Ebonics. This only makes your image look terrible and may make your boss think twice about keeping you apart of his or her staff. Language can refer to many different things such as the way you talk or…
In our society there are many ways to speak either correctly or incorrectly. This is where there is a big misunderstanding, because of many people that came from different countries and they bring up new ways to communicate. I believe that we live in a world with many different cultures; to say that there is a right way to speak cannot apply to everyone universally.…
It is always best when you meet someone to begin communication upon your own terms; if you speak English greet them as such, although ensure that you are speaking slowly and clearly. The person who you are addressing will then either respond, meaning that you both have the same needs/ preferences in language, or they will make it clear if they cannot understand what you are saying. This is when you must then go on to establish their wishes of…
When communicating with others it is important to consider the context in which you are working. You will need to adapt the way you communicate in different situations. It is likely that you will do this automatically without even realising you are doing it – for example, you should use more formal language and behaviour whilst in a meeting or discussing matters with a senior member of staff.…
When communicating you need to adapt to different situations e.g. you would not talk to a colleague at school in the same way you would talk to a friend in a bar. It is also important to remember that talking is not the only way we communicate, our body language and the way we dress are all forms of communication. The non-spoken forms are as powerful, and can be open to misinterpretation. For example if you are aware that a colleague or child has a hearing impairment you would ensure you face them when talking so that they could lip read, you may also make eye contact so they know you are talking to them and you would slow down your speech. You could also use gestures where appropriate. I am aware that my job and social role may leave me open to parents approaching me to ask questions but more importantly,…
If you are nervous or upset about something you may not be able to communicate. Practice in a light-hearted way until you get the hang of it.…
