Some Pointers in Teaching Communication Skills
from:When the term communication skills come at hand, we always tend to associate it with fluency. Fluency is hence defined as the smoothness and proficiency in the use of the language in the transmission of ideas towards the other. Fluency is one quality that must be achieved when communication skills is adhered to. To set things straight, it is important to note that communication skills does not only refer to the verbal form wherein fluency is indeed a must. The counterpart of verbal communication is the written form and so, it is vital that one must also be proficient in the written form of communication.
Whatever the form of communication is, there is only one purpose with which you are geared to and that is the intention of conveying a message to other people in order to gain a meeting of the minds. Communication skills therefore points out a person's capacity to smoothly transmit his message to the recipient. It goes to mean that the idea to be conveyed should nonetheless be vivid, precise, and unambiguous. Beating around the bush instead of going directly to the point is a manifestation of a bad communication skill.
Teaching communication skills has been an integral part of the curriculum of all academies. Academic instructors know for a fact that communication cannot be avoided instead the communication skills should be enhanced. The teaching of communication skills to the learners may be a hard task most especially if the latter lacks the willingness of the mind and when there is no motivation on the part of the facilitator.
Those who are teaching communication skills to a group of learners furthermore point out the importance of noted tips in enhancing the oral and written communication skills. The following pointers are emphasized in the teaching of communication skills:
The voice matters a lot in verbal communication. So in order to place enough impact, you must avoid using a flat tone. Your voice must be modulated so as it will go with the sentences that you utter. You must employ both the high and low pitches as needed by the delays in the gaps of the words you utter. So, you neither shout nor whisper. It stays in the middle but there must be complete audibility. Furthermore, the body gestures that you use and the facial expressions that you manifest must go along with the thought you convey.
For the written communication, it is necessary that you know the laws of unity, coherence, and emphasis. A good writing skill is required also.
Now both of the written and oral communication skills necessitate your being abreast of the language that you will use as the medium for communication. If you are also knowledgeable with the proper rules in grammar, then the sense of fluency will come as a natural thing. In teaching communication skills comes the essence of teaching correct grammar. At times the correct use of the grammar may come in as one of the flaws of verbal communication but it cannot be tolerated at all times.
If you are aware of the necessary tips to enhance your communication skills, then there will be no hesitation on your part. Reading materials and watching films that employ language you want to improve helps. Such activities sharpen your communication skills.
