To excel within the education department, implementing key interpersonal communication skills is of immense importance. The interpersonal communication skills of listening, feedback and question are beneficial to a secondary education teacher as it helps determine effective teaching strategies, provides a direction of improvement for future work and presents the opportunity to develop knowledge. Implementing the skill of listening is essential for teachers as it creates a mutual trust to help determine the most effective strategies to teach each student, thus contributing to constructive student participation. The interpersonal communication skill of feedback benefits teachers by providing critical information to students towards direction
Verbal communication is a good way of communicating with learners as it is “good for providing feedback as it is instant” (Barron 2020a: Paragraph 1). It is quick and easy to use to explain instructions and covey information to students. Furthermore, as my area of specialism is ESOL, verbal communication is a good way of improving students listening skills. However, using verbal communication in an ESOL classroom setting does have some limitations.
Interpersonal skills and effective communication among healthcare professionals are at the core of quality patient care. Interpersonal skills are defined by Rungapadiachy (1999, p.193) as “those skills which one needs in order to communicate effectively with another person or a group of people”. It includes verbal communication, non-verbal communication, listening skills, negotiation, problem-solving, decision-making, and assertiveness (Skills You Need, n.d.). The National Joint Committee for the Communicative Needs of Persons with Severe Disabilities (1991) defined communication as, “Any act by which one person gives to or receives from another person, information about that person 's needs, desires, perceptions, knowledge, or affective states.
Chapter two in the textbook Reflect & Relate an Introduction to Interpersonal Communication by Steven McCornack talks all about what “self” is and how to achieve complete fulfillment for one’s self which is also known as self-actualization. The components of self, as described in the book are, “ . . . self-awareness, self-concept, and self-esteem” (McCornack 39). Self-awareness is the idea in which one can take a moment to move feelings, beliefs, and other external influences aside and just evaluate oneself in a holistic perspective that is not skewed by opinions of others, etc. Having the ability to actually think about who one is brings a lot of power and mental stability in such a way that allows for improvement.
Question 1: Interpersonal Communication Interpersonal communication is the interaction, between more than one person, in a verbal or nonverbal manner (Vuuren et al., 2014). The scene (from the video) consists of two people – in a relationship – having a dialogue which represents bad interpersonal communicational skills. There are several styles of communication being applied in the scene. The female demonstrates a passive behavior as seen by way in which she agrees to most of what the male says and suggests.

According to Spitz-berg and Cupach's Interpersonal Communication Competence Self-Assessment, my high score indicates that I have a high level of communication competence. My test results suggest that I am highly motivated, knowledgeable, adaptable, and highly empathetic. By having these characteristics I believe I would be able to manage a highly confrontational situation with relative ease. I am able to communicate effectively and clearly during those awkward times. This assessment highlighted my ability to actively listen and stay engaged during communication, both verbally and non-verbally.
There are seven key concepts that are required in order to have effective communication. They are mutual respect, harmonized goals, supportive environment, appropriate decision partners, the right information, transparency and full disclosure and continuous learning. Mutual respect occurs when the patient and care giver are partners during the decision making process of the patient. I see this being done during physician rounding and visits. The patient will ask about their care and the physician discusses the options and possible outcomes.
Akemura made considerable effort to develop her overall communication skills through regular attendance and self-study. She was conscientious in completing homework assignments as well as previewing and reviewing each lesson's content. However, she was careful to venture into new areas of communication, depending mainly on communication skills that she was confident in. This means it was difficult to judge her improvement during this course. Ms. Akemura seemed to understand the general theme and flow of the conversation but did not show sufficient communication skills to use clarification.
Interpersonal Communication Introduction Communication is simply the act of exchanging information from one place to another. Interpersonal communication is the method by which people exchange thoughts, feelings, and meaning in the sequence of verbal and non-verbal messages: it is face-to-face communication. Interpersonal communication is not just concerning what is truly said - the speech utilized - but how it is said and the non-verbal messages dispatched across tone of voice, facial expressions, gestures and body language. When two or more people are in the same locale and are cognizant of each other's presence, then communication is happening, no matter how subtle or unintended.
Martha’s Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills (BICS) (Cummins, 2015) are moderately developed. She does not communicate often in the classroom unless it is to turn in work or to ask for clarification. According to Peregoy & Boyle (2013), these basic conversations include relatively short utterances and back and forth interactions. For example, Martha will ask the teacher if something is correct or say “I have my homework”. I have also seen Martha interact with a few students at the library about picking a new book and use phrases like “I picked this one”, “can I have some”, and “do you want to be my partner”.

There are many different forms of communication these include visual, verbal and non-verbal. It is important that people take a look at their own communication skills and how these can be improved. Communication allows us to see things from another point of view; therefore one can get rid of any personal biases. Listening is a gift that should be appreciated, it lets people know what is going on around them in their society, such as people’s problems and struggles. It is not until people start to listen to someone that they will be able to understand that person.
Verbal Communication The first kind of verbal communication I observed while on placement was active listening. I observed this when the teacher used a clapping rhythm to make sure all the kids were paying attention and listening to him. The purpose of Active Listening in teaching is to enhance people’s ability to absorb and pass on information, promotes concentration and attention, allow you to gain more in-depth information, motivate team members and promote the development of an open
Listening is a crucial part in communication that allows us to become more effective and productive in our personal lives and also in a professional setting like in school. As a student at UC Davis, listening is essential in order to obtain success in my classes as I must listen to my professor’s lectures in order to comprehend the class material.

Introduction: The process of communicating successfully with our family, friends, co-workers, business associates and people is one of the most critical skills. Communication is such a key part of life that I often tell to a person that “Its no use of someone if he/she really don’t know by associates people in their work place or area of field”. Communication makes us to be known of others, good or bad that depends on usability of a person communication.
