Presentation
The document provides tips for tutors to resist editing students' writing and instead focus on collaboration. Tutors should make students feel comfortable, focus on the positive aspects of their writing to boost confidence, ask about the assignment, discuss the content in depth, and see themselves as collaborators. While grammar is still important, tutors should not dwell on errors but instead help unlock students' strengths as writers and thinkers.
Literature
Listening comprehension is the basis for speaking, writing, and reading skills. It involves actively paying attention to audio books, podcasts, news, songs, videos, and films in a foreign language. When listening, it is not necessary to understand every word, but rather to focus on key words and facts while using context clues and prior knowledge to understand unfamiliar vocabulary. Effective listening also involves taking notes and reviewing them after listening, as well as relistening to difficult passages and checking comprehension of the task.
Best practices for active listening
Active listening requires giving the speaker your undivided attention by maintaining eye contact, avoiding distractions, stopping other activities, and paying attention to both the words and feelings being conveyed. It means fully focusing on understanding the speaker's intent and emotions rather than formulating a response. Key aspects of active listening include asking for clarification, summarizing what was said, and acknowledging the speaker's feelings on the topic to demonstrate comprehension.
Reading activities and tasks
This document provides an overview of reading activities and tasks that can be used before, during, and after reading to help students comprehend and interact with texts. It describes pre-reading activities like building background knowledge, previewing texts, predicting content, and learning key vocabulary. During reading, the document recommends strategies like keeping questions in mind, taking notes, and filling out graphic organizers to monitor understanding. Post-reading activities include summarizing, analyzing, reflecting on content, and completing tasks related to the text. The document concludes by having teachers select and plan two such activities to design a comprehensive reading lesson.
130210125091_Group communicationppt
Group communication refers to communication between 3 or more individuals gathered to solve a problem or discuss a topic. It is an important part of teamwork and organizational efficiency. There are two main categories of group discussions: organizational discussions and discussions as part of a selection process. The main purposes of group communication are to share information and ideas, collect feedback, arrive at decisions, solve problems, discuss group issues, and get faster solutions. Group discussions are also used for evaluation, assessing factors like knowledge, communication skills, leadership skills, and approach to topics. Some tips for successful group discussions include being prepared on current issues, listening carefully, organizing ideas before speaking, encouraging others to share views, and aiming for a solution within the allotted time.
Lesson 4 focus_attention
Focus your full attention on the speaker by putting aside distractions. Actively listen by making eye contact, acknowledging their points, and responding to questions without judgment. Set aside your own opinions to understand the speaker's perspective. Maintain eye contact to express interest while avoiding staring, which can make people uncomfortable.
Pre writing strategies
Prewriting is the first step in the traditional writing process and involves activities done before the first draft to generate and organize ideas. Some common prewriting techniques include listing, free writing, clustering, and cubing. Listing involves jotting down every idea about the topic without censoring. Free writing has the writer continuously write about the subject for 10-15 minutes without worrying about mechanics. Clustering maps out ideas that relate to the central topic through drawings of lines and circles. Cubing looks at a topic from six angles: describing, comparing, associating, analyzing, applying, and arguing. Prewriting helps writers explore different perspectives on their topic before beginning the first draft.

English Composition Lecture Powerpoint.pptx
Here are a few issues I see with this outline:
- The thesis/main point is not clearly stated. It's unclear if the writer is arguing cellphones do or do not cause problems.
- The subpoints under I and II are not parallel. One includes a cause and effect while the other just states a problem.
- Some points are not fully developed (e.g. "Cellphones cause more people to need glasses" lacks support/explanation).
- Grammar and spelling errors make some points unclear ("cellphones can develop addictions" and "rewire the b").
- No conclusion is included to wrap up the argument.
Overall, this outline would benefit from clarifying the thesis

Discussion exam
Here are some key points that make someone a good speaker:
- Clear pronunciation so the listener can understand what is being said. The speaker needs to form words correctly.
- Using appropriate intonation (rising and falling of the voice) and stress on important words to make the meaning clear.
- Pausing in the right places so the speech has a natural flow and rhythm.
- Choosing vocabulary that fits the topic and level of the listener. Too simple or complex words may confuse.
- Speaking fluently without too many pauses or hesitations. The message is conveyed smoothly.
Accuracy is especially important in formal situations like presentations, debates or exams where precise communication is expected.
Priority task for staff
Thomas Tallis School outlined its whole school priorities for the upcoming year. Teachers were instructed to think about which priorities were most important and to group the other factors under the top 3 priorities. They were also told to order the priorities and other factors under each priority based on their potential impact, time and effort required, long vs short term nature, and resources needed. Once completed, teachers were to have their priority lists photographed and possibly discuss how the priorities relate to their individual departments.

I'm afraid I don't have enough context to summarize the document. It appears to be a series of slides related to principles of communication but there is no clear overall topic or main point being made across the slides.

GD.pptx
Group discussion (GD) is a method used to assess students' personality traits through discussion of a given topic in a small group. In a typical GD, 5-10 students sit in a circle and are given 2 minutes to think before discussing the topic for 15-20 minutes. GD topics can be factual, abstract, controversial, or case studies. GDs benefit students by stimulating thinking, expanding knowledge, and revealing qualities like leadership, communication skills, and teamwork. Strong GDs require preparation, knowledge of the topic, good communication and listening skills, and the ability to think outside the box. Effective participation means actively listening, contributing to move the discussion forward in a structured manner, and summarizing key points at the end.

Then, we will look more closely at some key questions: Is there a difference between management and leadership? What are some of the challenges of supervising others and how can we solve them? How can we mentor, encourage, and motivate others? What are some key communication skills for managers and leaders? Finally, we will look at how leaders can encourage innovation and help guide change in their schools.

Communicating Towards a Successful Outcome
This document provides guidance on effectively contributing to discussions and communicating towards a successful outcome. It recommends considering the type of language that gets your opinion across and will lead to the best results. It also suggests following ground rules, being positive, separating problems from people, keeping on topic, allowing others to speak, asking for clarification if needed, and listening actively. Useful phrases are provided for commenting on others' points, emphasizing importance, showing interest, encouraging participation, indicating lack of understanding, asking questions to further discussion, gain information, seek confirmation, and close discussions.

Working with ELL Writers
This document provides information and strategies for working with English language learner (ELL) writers at the University of South Florida. It begins by providing statistics on the international student population, noting that the majority are graduate students from China and India studying engineering, business, health, or STEM fields. The document explains that ELL writers may be unfamiliar with academic conventions and have a difference between their speaking and writing skills. It recommends focusing consultations on higher-order concerns like thesis, organization, and assignment expectations before addressing lower-order grammar and syntax issues. Examples are provided of strategies for assessing needs, reviewing papers, and closing sessions.
Conflict Resolution 07302015
This document discusses conflict resolution and provides techniques for effectively managing conflict. It notes that conflict is a natural part of interactions and relationships. There are five approaches to conflict resolution: avoidance, collaboration, compromise, competition, and accommodation. Collaboration seeks a mutually agreeable solution where all parties' needs are met. Compromise finds a middle ground where each side gives up some needs. The document provides tips for resolving conflict respectfully through empathy, active listening, open questions, explaining perspectives carefully, and thinking creatively. It concludes that conflict cannot always be avoided or solved, and that the goal is to minimize damaging conflict.
