How to give an Intellectual speech?

August 11th, 2009 admin

In the pre­vi­ous post we learned about the effec­tive com­mu­ni­ca­tion by using words that are at right level of tech­ni­cal knowl­edge of the peo­ple or read­ers or audi­ence. But need to try to con­cen­trate on the intel­lec­tual needs of the audi­ence and take their per­sonal needs and emo­tional needs as indi­vid­u­als and take them into con­sid­er­a­tion for bet­ter com­mu­ni­ca­tion. If we choose the right words that are intrud­ing into their lives we can get them on our side oth­er­wise they will keep deaf and don’t lis­ten to the words that what­ever we say.

First the speech should begin with the infor­mal words like greet­ing words that are hello, good morn­ing, hi! etc. which makes an effec­tive address­ing of the peo­ple. But we have to use these words accord­ing to the level we are close to that per­son. If we are very close to that per­son then it would be bet­ter to greet him with Hi! Or oth­er­wise wish with good morn­ing or hello. This usage of greet­ing linked with two fac­tors like how well we know that per­son and per­sonal expe­ri­ence and choice. We have to be for­mal with unknown per­sons and infor­mal with those peo­ple with whom we are familiar.

We need to use the infor­mal lan­guage with the peo­ple whom you know very well but with lit­tle care. Some words are con­sid­ered unac­cept­able in good soci­ety and they are known as taboo words. The peo­ple of this group change with time. When peo­ple are embar­rassed by a sub­ject or the words needed to talk about it, they use more polite or less offen­sive words which is called as euphemism. The spe­cial infor­mal vocab­u­lary of par­tic­u­lar group is called as slang. Spe­cial use of tech­ni­cal words by a group of experts in par­tic­u­lar sub­jects is called as jar­gon. If we speak remem­ber­ing the above men­tioned groups of peo­ple in our mind them we will surely become a good communicator.

How to communicate effectively?

August 11th, 2009 admin

When­ever we speak or write we are seek­ing to com­mu­ni­cate with oth­ers or with a group of peo­ple. It is essen­tial to think care­fully about the needs and sit­u­a­tion of that peo­ple when we are select­ing the words that we are using. Oth­er­wise we need to face so many dif­fi­cul­ties. To achieve good com­mu­ni­ca­tion we need to remem­ber two things in our mind that how well can they under­stand the lan­guage and how much do they know about the subject.

A good way to under­stand clearly what is involved is to com­pare the sub­ject writ­ten for dif­fer­ent peo­ple like the sen­tences may be sim­ple and easy to under­stand and very short or the sen­tences may be long and the vocab­u­lary is more demand­ing or sen­tences may be longer and more com­plex with vocab­u­lary, dif­fi­cult gram­mar and writ­ten intel­lec­tu­ally. So the read­abil­ity depends up on the three fac­tors like length, com­plex­ity and vocab­u­lary. But gen­er­ally speak­ing and writ­ing dif­fer with many points but most of them apply to both. So these fac­tors affect the way oth­ers under­stand the lan­guage we speak.

Effec­tive com­mu­ni­ca­tion not only means how well the audi­ence can under­stand our lan­guage but also how well they know about the sub­ject. Dif­fer­ent read­ers will have dif­fer­ent lev­els of knowl­edge to read a text. With knowl­edge comes the vocab­u­lary to express it. So if we are hav­ing so much vocab­u­lary we are sure that we can have bet­ter knowl­edge than oth­ers. It is because we will get more vocab­u­lary only when we read so much on that topic or sub­ject. As we become more skilled and more expe­ri­enced, we gain more knowl­edge about that topic or in that field. When we are writ­ing tech­ni­cal papers then we need to first decide for whom we are writ­ing the arti­cle or paper and what is the level of under­stand­ing we are expect­ing from them. If we write a tech­ni­cal paper in a news paper, peo­ple who do gen­eral works and read news paper for gen­eral news can’t under­stand any­thing. If we need to use the words that may be unfa­mil­iar, then try to give an expla­na­tion of the words and their mean­ing in an eas­ily under­stand­able lan­guage. At the same time we should not patron­ize the peo­ple by using the words that they will find babyish.

How to improve vocabulary?

August 11th, 2009 admin

If we wish to improve and extend our active vocab­u­lary, it is very impor­tant that we should be able to look to words up. Good ref­er­ence books will make us to improve our vocab­u­lary. For this we need to dis­cover the exact mean­ing of the words, find a range of pos­si­ble words for a par­tic­u­lar sit­u­a­tion and learn about the usage of par­tic­u­lar words and besides all these we need to do much more. Some of the best ref­er­ences for devel­op­ing vocab­u­lary are dic­tio­nar­ies, the­sauruses, usage guides and other word books.

If you are fol­low­ing a dic­tio­nary then it is very impor­tant to select a good dic­tio­nary that gives more infor­ma­tion than oth­ers. How­ever for every­day use it is prob­a­bly rather more than we require, we need to get the dic­tio­nary that gives the suf­fi­cient infor­ma­tion that makes us easy to under­stand. But dic­tio­nar­ies can only tell the past events but they may not con­tain the lat­est words that are related to present tech­nol­ogy. So we need to buy the new ver­sion always.

We need to get the dic­tio­nar­ies that are hav­ing the usage of the words. This approach of defin­ing a word is most use­ful for those learn­ing a lan­guage. It is also use­ful when we want to move a word from pas­sive to active vocabulary.

The­saurus is another source of vocab­u­lary which con­tains words accord­ing to the themes and helps us to find the words that we are look­ing for through an index. But to find a word we need to have some skill and com­mit­ment. It con­sists of cer­tain occur­rences of the word in the main part of the thesaurus.

Usage dic­tio­nar­ies are alpha­bet­i­cally arranged and these are almost like dic­tio­nar­ies. These pro­vide advices of the usage of the mat­ter, judg­ment and dif­fer­ent advices to get the cor­rect word. There are other kinds of books that are help­ful for spelling, subject-specific and usage through which we can eas­ily develop our vocabulary.

Learn English Online and Speak To the Global World

June 8th, 2009 admin

Eng­lish is a global lan­guage. It is spo­ken the world over, with only a few coun­tries not hav­ing it as their first lan­guage. Eng­lish and French are the two most spo­ken lan­guages in the world. There­fore, under­stand­ing how to both write and read Eng­lish is of major advan­tage to you, since you wont always be around your home town (if you’re from a non-English speak­ing country).

There are a num­ber of oppor­tu­ni­ties to learn Eng­lish online. Some of them require that you enroll for their classes as well as hav­ing a native speaker show you more about the basics of spo­ken and writ­ten Eng­lish. If you do choose to learn Eng­lish through online courses, then you will have the option of work­ing at your own pace and you will also choose where to put more focus on as you progress through the course.

Also, you can come up with your own sched­ule for learn­ing the course con­tent. This means that you decide when to attend class and what time. It also means that you will have time to attend to your other activ­i­ties with­out dis­rupt­ing your Eng­lish classes.

Dif­fer­ent peo­ple learn through dif­fer­ent meth­ods, and with online learn­ing, you can choose the method that works the best for you. The cost of learn­ing Eng­lish is far much cheaper than learn­ing the same course in a con­ven­tional school. In essence, online school­ing saves on your time, energy, and most impor­tantly, your money.

Nor­mally, the lay­out of the course pro­gresses from the sim­pler parts of the lan­guage, mov­ing onwards to the harder infor­ma­tion. This means that you will inevitably start with the alpha­bet, and then you move on to basic vocab­u­lary and word for­ma­tions. At the top level of the course, you be exposed to art and lit­er­a­ture in English.
