Interpersonal Skills consists of Verbal Conversation, Lip Reading and signing. Verbal Conversation this is were we communicate with another person face to face with the use of words and sound. When Children are born they are born with vocal cords which will produce sound but they are to young to develop them sounds into words, as they get older their vocal cords develop and they start to produce into words. Over 3,000 languages and major dialects are spoken in the world today. A situation of effective communication would be a teacher in a classroom explaining to his or her class what there task is to complete they have to make sure that they are speaking clearly they have to do this to make sure they are being understood. Lip Reading is an example of communication this is a technique picked up by a person who is who is hard of hearing or a deaf person this allows them to understand what other people arse saying they understand them by interepting the movements of the lips, face and tongue. What makes it difficult for a lip reader is the lack of a clear view of the speakers lips. This includes obstructions such as moustaches or hands in front of the mouth and another problem is when they are in a group discussion because there is a number of mouths. The next section is signing. Sign language is a type of communication which uses manual communication and body language. Sign Language consists of hand shapes and movement of the hands and also facial expressions this is for deaf people or people with hearing impairments. In Britain the common use of Sign language is called Britain sign language BSL. BSL is a preferred language of between 50,000-70,000 people in the UK
The next section in verbal communication is Cues in verbal exchange this consists of body language, nodding and summarizing. The first section is body language this is type of communication which uses body posture, gestures and facial expressions. James Borg who is an English researcher on boy language he believes that communication has 93% is body language and 7% is actual words. Body language will provide ideas of the state of mind of a person; this may indicate attentiveness, boredom and aggression. One of the most powerful body language signals is when a person will cross their arms across their chest. This means that the person is cold or it will mean that the person is thinking hard about what is being discussed o the situation they are involved in. There is also nodding this is a type of communication using facial expressions and the use of the head the most known use of nodding is replying to a simple yes or no question moving the head up and down means yes and moving the head side to side means no. The final section of cues in verbal exchange is summarizing this is where a person will use a simple description of a word in a more simple matter. It also means they will gain information and then change it into their own words.
we asked business teacher Mrs Rens what good written communication would you look for in a report her answer was I would look for good grammar good spelling and elaborate speech and also look for that the person is selling themselves to make themselves sound better than any one else going for the job.
