I. Introduction
According to Farlex Partner Medical Dictionary (Farlex, 2012) the “Anthroposemiotics” (human communication) stands for the production and reception of oral, written or gestured information exchange among people. For thousand years the types of human communication has been improved and recognized, which lead to development of a modern society. Micheal Salwen and Don Stacks in their book “An Integrated Approach to Communication Theory and Research” (2009) distinguished the study of human communications in two categories: rhetorical (1) and relational (2). The first one is based on the idea of persuasion; where second needs two or more people’s coexist to reach an agreement.
During the class Communication Foundation II students were taught how to make presentation, use skills and interact with audience, as well as attract listener’s interest. By the end of the course the student Aizhan Akhmetbek would like to share with gained experience and knowledge.

II. What I knew when I entered the Communication Foundation II class which focused on Presentation Skills
Before starting of writing the report, student made research and tried to explain briefly and clearly her understanding of Presentational skills and its use in practice. Mainly stressed attention at the following three learning outcomes:

Relation of communication needs to a specific audience needs
In everyday conversation people adapt the message addressed to a specific listener. For instance, a young lady, who has been at a party last night might say:
To mother: “I had fun with my friends”
To sister: “It was crazy and we partied all night!”
In each situation Saule specified differently how she enjoined yesterday’s evening by adapting message gently to ...

...cts bring them an additional knowledge and help the presenter to build good and interesting dialog with audience.
The second important issue is – eye contact, please, smile with your eyes, show the audience that the presenter is friendly and happy to see them; and sharing with the important information.
The third one – look. No matter is presenter student or insurance specialist, a neat formal look every time actual.
At last, after speech, the presenter should make final analyze - behavior of his/her listeners. Their verbal (“”Good Job!”, “”Bravo!” “Additional questions”), non-verbal (applause, if yes – loud or soft; facial expressions – smile or bored one) responses, comments concerning presentation.
The researcher believes that experience and knowledge which she got after the course Foundation Communication II will be useful and bring benefits in the future.

Some of the greatest public speakers in history have suffered from stage fright, including Abraham Lincoln, Margaret Sanger, and Winston Churchill” (Lucas, 2012 pg. 9). Lucas says that you should not run from your nervousness, but instead try to turn it into a positive nervousness.

    Having students teach each other is a way to promote a deeper learning of the content. Teaching to others promotes independence and confidence. This activity also improves the student’s public speaking skills. It also is a good stepping stone to the necessary presentations and performance assessments. Performing for an audience that will actually provide feedback is a new concept for most. This is an area that will need plenty of positive reinforcement and skill development. Doyle provides performance assessment options and a guide for building a rubric to aid in the development of this

  • The Reflection Of Verbal And Nonverbal Communication

    716 Words  | 2 Pages

    I learned a lot about Human Communication in this class when I read the chapter about Nonverbal Communication. Nonverbal Communication is the process of using messages that are not words to generate meaning. I learned that it happens every day. I also learned that is very hard to read or understand depending on the person you are speaking to or with. Verbal and Nonverbal codes work in conjunction with each other. The words we speak or say are used in conjunction six different ways: to repeat, to emphasize, to complement, to contradict, to substitute, and to regulate. I never knew until reading this chapter that we do these things all most every time we communicate. These are things I took for granted until now. I now know that I will pay

    One of the main aspects in communicating is listening. An effective listener is one who, not only comprehends how the speaker feels but, also understands what they are stating. Building a strong connection between the speaker and the listener is one of the first steps to become a good listener. By building this connection speakers should first be in an environment with open minded listeners, it makes them feel more comfortable to state their opinions, feelings and ideas.

  • The Importance of Communication in My Career

    2634 Words  | 6 Pages

    Irrespective of the environment in which one works, communication is always vital and a key factor of success. Communication happens both physically and verbally and is absolutely essential if you want to inform someone about something. ‘Loud shouting and even violence are symptoms of the ailment, not remedies.’ (Adair 2009: 3). Communication has two main components; sending out a message to someone, and ensuring the message is received correctly to the other member of the conversation. It is thus fair to say speaking and listening are vital to effective communication. This essay will initially introduce me as a student, and my career. I will give a simple SWOT analysis of me and will then go on and breakdown the different methods and techniques of effective communication. Finally, I will talk about how effective communication is needed in my current position, as well as the future.

    1023 Words  | 3 Pages

    Speaking is a natural ability given to most reluctant individuals. Since the beginning of time, it has been assumed that we have a right to speak and use words, thus we naturally begin our development of language during the early stages of live. After years of grasping and perfecting our vocabulary and language, it seems unnecessary to study the purpose of our development. Why, then, should we study “oral communication?” There are many purposes, benefits, and institutions that branch from oral communication.
