This document discusses transactional discourse and listening strategies. Transactional discourse includes television programs, train announcements, and classroom lectures. Listeners' performance can be measured through online tasks like note-taking during lectures or completing information grids, and retrospective tasks like summarizing or multiple choice questions after listening. Effective listening strategies include forming propositional meanings, constructing conceptual frameworks that link utterances, and maintaining context to assist in prediction and comprehension. Developing listening skills requires using pragmatic and procedural knowledge as well as interacting appropriately with speakers.

Best Practices for Using Visuals in Technical WritingThe Integral Worm
Â
This presentation outlines industry best practices for using visuals in technical writing. Appropriate visuals should be used only as needed to aid the user in understanding of the task at hand. Visuals are more specific, reduce processing time, and are more quickly understood than text. Visuals should make sense standing alone but also may be used to illustrate, explain, demonstrate, verify, and/or provide support. Use a verbal table to show problems with analyses and solutions for a trouble-shooting section. Visuals are easier to understand than prose in paragraphs. âA picture is worth a 1,000 wordsâŚâ or at least a couple of hundred. Make sure the number of visuals is appropriate to the audience need and subject matter at hand. Adapt visuals to audience level without dumbing down the subject matter. If there are more than 5 independent visuals within the document, create a List of Figures/Tables. Place visuals as close as possible following (after) the text reference. Surround the visual with white space to separate from text of document. Avoid overuse of decorative color and too much color this only creates confusion for the user in meaning-making. A good example of the use of color are geographical maps and metropolitan train maps.
This is one of the presentations used, in a one-day seminar on Communication and Interpersonal Skills for the Executives of the MI Plant, NFCL, Nacharam, Hyderabad.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Â
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
⢠The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
⢠The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate âany matterâ at âany timeâ under House Rule X.
⢠The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Listening to news
Classroom lectures
4. How do we know listeners
performances on listening transactional
discourse?
1. On-line tasks
(activity performed
while listening)
Open task: notetaking in lectures
Closed task:
completing an
information grid
5. On-line task
open tasks: note-taking
1.
Provide some evidence of how they focus on
information during parts of lecture.
2. No clear correspondence between quantity of notes
and quality of understanding (DiViesta and
Gray, 1972; Dunkel, 1985; Chaudron et al., 1988).
3. Experienced note-takers learn to type of shorthand
and thus minimize the time they must focus on
writing (Janda, 1985).
4. Experienced listeners will take notes in accordance
with their expectations for subsequent tasks
(Dunkel, 1985; Chaudron et al., 1988).
7. Closed task
completing an information grid
1. Closed tasks are easier to interpret than open
tasks.
2. The listeners must at times focus on the act of
completing the grid rather than on the listening
text.
3. Completion tasks may provide useful evidence
of listener attention and understanding when
completions tasks are limited to minimal
writing, minimal visual interpretation, and
maximal attention to the spoken text.
8. How do we know listeners performances
on listening transactional discourse?
Listener representations
2. Retrospective tasks
(activity performed after
listening to a text)
Strategies for updating
representations
Type of the task:
1. Open task: summarizing
2. Closed task: multiplechoice selection
9. Listener representation
1.
Verbatim
: recall specialized terminology or
names or numbers
2. Propositional : representing the gist of a text. The
listener must select and reduce the information to a
generalization which can be later modified
(Schank, 1982).
3. Schematic
: formulaic ways of representing a
text without assigning a specific semantic
relationship.
4. Argument
: functional models of a text. They
account for what the speaker is trying to do in the
text.
10. Strategies for updating
representations
1. Context implication
: contextual cues to
generate relevant links between two or
more propositions in the text.
2. Generalization of ambiguous segment : using
a principle of analogy
3. Selection and prioritization on inferences :
identify salient lexical items or propositions
and give priority to inferences based on
these items.
11. Type of the tasks
1.
Open task : summarizing
summary-writing strategies:
- The zero strategy
- Deletion/selection
- Addition/invention
- Reduction/generalization
Evaluating summaries:
1. Effectiveness of summary.
2. Including facts which supports the main ideas.
3. Overall fluency and cohesion of the summary text.
4. Originality in wording.
(Angel and Young, 1981; Zabrucky, 1986; Flottum, 1985; Brown
and Day, 1983)
12. Type of the tasks
2. Closed task: Multiple-choice selection
individual items on m/c tests may be
considered as selected probes of text
representation rather than indications of the
listenerâs understanding of the overall text.
13. How do we know listeners performances
on listening transactional discourse?
3. Prospective task (pre-listening tasks):
prediction
- Provide another indirect type of evidence of
listener text representation strategies.
- Prediction involves using a contextimplication strategy in which the listener
projects schematic expectations onto the text.
14. Strategies for updating listeners
representations of transactional
discourse
1. Formulating propositional sense for a
speakerâs utterance
- Deducing the meaning of unfamiliar lexical
items.
- Inferring information not explicitly
stated, through filling in ellipted
information, making bridging inferences.
- Inferring links between two or more
propositions.
15. 2. Formulating a conceptual framework that links utterances
together.
- Recognizing indicators of discourse for introducing an
idea, changing topic, emphasis, clarification and expansion of
points, expressing a contrary view.
- constructing a main idea or theme in a stretch of
discourse, distinguishing main points from supporting details.
- Predicting subsequent parts of the discourse at conceptual
levels.
- Identifying elements in the discourse that can help in
forming a schematic organization.
- Maintaining continuity of context to assist in prediction and
verification of propositions in the discourse.
- Selecting cues from the speakerâs text to complete a
schematic prediction.
16. Principles for developing listening skills
1. Listening ability is knowledge-based:
- The listener uses pragmatic knowledge to
estimate sense of unknown/ unclear items and
to make predictions about discourse events.
- The listener uses procedural knowledge to
accomplish tasks based on what is understood.
- The listener remembers and represents
discourse meaning in a usable form.
17. 2. Listening ability is interaction-based:
- The listener identifies understanding
problems â detecting meaning problems in
speakerâs contribution; identifying
inadequacy of speakerâs message for task at
hand.
- The listener demonstrates understanding or
non-understanding in an appropriate way.
- The listener, in some settings, collaborates
with an interlocutor to arrive at acceptable
mutual understanding or to accomplish
collaborative task.
