Competence in Communication

The presentation is about how to communicate efficiently and the ways of improving communication skills.

My online activity inspired me to get reverting to my earlier research about effective communication.

From my view, connecting with the use of the Internet seems to be creating new questions about the way people communicate.

I am working to present a theoretical backdrop to the principles of the process of communication, as well as communications skills models.

My approach is based on the well-known model of the functions of language introduced by  Roman Jakobson. Although it is recognizable that Jakobson’s theory can be challenged on numerous grounds from a theoretical perspective, I have always been linked with his theoretical explanation of the purposes of linguistic communication.

“Jakobson and Halle’s initial statement of the principles of linguistic organization should be made available to all future generations of linguists. It builds a solid foundation for Saussurean thinking about linguisic oppositions and establishes distinctive feature theory as the basis of their formal treatment.”

Prof. Dr. William Labov, University of Pennsylvania, Department of Linguistics

Along with Roman Jakobson’s  functions of the language model, we can formulate some basic queries.

·       What is Communication?

·       The Categories of Communication.

·       The Communication Process.

·       Communication Channels.

·       Principles of Communication.

·       Interpersonal Communication Skills.

·       What is an online communication?

·       The Benefits of Blogging.

"O Mary Don't You Weep"

Well if I could, I surely would,
Stand on the rock where Moses stood,
Pharoh's army got drownded,
Oh Mary don't you weep.

Oh Mary don't you weep no more,
Oh Mary don't you weep no more,
Pharoh's army got drownded,
Oh Mary don't you weep.

Well Mary wore three links of chain,
On every link was Jesus name,
Pharoh's army got drownded,
Oh Mary don't you weep.

Oh Mary don't you weep no more,
Oh Mary don't you weep no more,
Pharoh's army got drownded,
Oh Mary don't you weep.

Well one of these nights about 12 o'clock,
This old world is gonna rock,
Pharoh's army got drownded,
Oh Mary don't you weep.

Well Moses stood on the Red Sea shore,
Smote the water with a two by four,
Pharoh's army got drownded,
Oh Mary don't you weep.

Oh Mary don't you weep no more,
Oh Mary don't you weep no more,
Pharoh's army got drownded,
Oh Mary don't you weep.

Well old Mister Satan he got mad,
Missed that soul that he thought he had,
Pharoh's army got drownded,
Oh Mary don't you weep.

Brothers and sisters, don't you cry,
There'll be good times by and by,
Pharoh's army got drownded,
Oh Mary don't you weep.

Oh Mary don't you weep no more,
Oh Mary don't you weep no more,
Pharoh's army got drownded,
Oh Mary don't you weep.

God gave Noah the rainbow sign,
No more water, but fire next time,
Pharoh's army got drownded,
Oh Mary don't you weep.

Oh Mary don't you weep no more,
Oh Mary don't you weep no more,
Pharoh's army got drownded,
Oh Mary don't you weep.

Pharoh's army got drownded,
Oh Mary don't you weep,
Oh Mary don't you weep no more,
Oh Mary don't you weep no more.

Pharoh's army got drownded,
Oh Mary don't you weep.

Discover how you can build your skills as well as your confidence, as your results start to improve. At Strategies in Language Learning you can find not only what has been slowing you down or stopping you but you can also find what you need to do to get back on target!

Many language learners settle for a lot less than they can achieve for different reasons. Sometimes it is because they have settled on the wrong understandings, methods or tools, sometimes it is because they lack belief in their own capacities (caused by going about learning in an ineffective way) and sometimes because there is lack of clarity in what they really want from their lives and sometimes…..

Planning for Action Research

•Initial planning for action research includes:

•Identifying and limiting a topic

•Gathering information related to the topic

•Reviewing related literature

•Early stages are crucial in any research project

•Lays the “groundwork” for all that follows

•Nothing shapes the remainder of a study as much as specifying the topic or problem

•Problems with being too broad or vague, or being too narrow

•Possible topic areas:

•A teaching method or instructional materials

•Classroom management

•Identifying a problem

•Examining an area of interest

•Once a topic has been identified, it should be evaluated against several practical considerations:

•Personal interest in the topic

•Importance of the topic

•Time requirements for conducting the study

•Anticipated difficulty of the study

•Potential monetary costs

•Issues related to ethics in conducting research

Why You Now Need a Team to Create and Deliver Learning - e-Learning Feeds

"There are ample issues to consider, for example a team-based approach could raise the possibility of more affordable business models: Core content could be repurposed or remixed. The use of teams and pooled resources (even with other institutions or consortia) could help deliver the basic content and do much of the heavy lifting of teaching a given course.

Another big advantage to the team strategy is that having multiple team members fosters diverse perspectives. Decision making power shifts to a team of people, not just one person; this brings in additional and potentially fresh ideas. Teams may delegate the responsibility of tracking certain trends to member X or member Y; they might even add a new "hat" to the collective team membership if they want to employ a new technology that's been on their radar screen."

Action Research Spiral

Any systematic inquiry conducted by

1. teacher researchers, principals, school counselors, or other stakeholders …

              2. in the teaching/learning environment …

              3.to gather information about how their particular schools operate,

                how they teach, and how well their students learn.

What is action research? Dr Carol Davenport describes how action research in education can be applied as part of a continuous professional development programme for science education in schools and colleges.

The network of Science Learning Centres run a number of courses which include elements of action research.

John Elliott (1991) defines action research as:

“Action research is the process through which teachers collaborate in evaluating their

practice jointly; raise awareness of their personal theory; articulate a shared conception of

values; try out new strategies to render the values expressed in their practice more consistent with educational values they espouse; record their work in a form which is readily available to and understandable by other teachers; and thus develop a shared theory of teaching by research practice.”
