Students May Not Like It, But Speech Classes Prepare Them For Today's Globalized Work Force



Why should the engineering needs of a large class of "speech" at graduation? Sue asks just that question as well as becoming familiar with their academic advisor.

Sue is not happy after learning of the request added. "It's going to cost me time and money - something I almost since you keep increasing my class and my demands of teaching keeps going up," she complains to her academic advisor

.

"Is it really necessary to speech class ?"

Like Sue, many students are not happy about taking a speech class, especially if they are "unrelated" field. Besides time and money, the fear may be another factor. (Who among us can say that they were scared stiff to make his first public speech ?)

However, with increased globalization and diversity, we need to learn as much about communication and cross-cultural communication before the first job, and during his professional career, becoming more and more evident.

If Sue is an academic advisor in all communications savvy, it will point to three reasons why direct speech class is required for all students: first, communication is critical to functioning in society. Second, the oral tradition is the cornerstone of the democratic process, and third, globalization and the spread of information technology is making our world less, put us in touch more and more with people who communicate differently than members of the dominant culture of the United States.

As these three reasons to expand due to global economic changes, is becoming even more the need for people to be better communicators.

Communication skills are essential in today's globalized society, so that most junior colleges, colleges and universities - and even the organizations and companies - offer students and staff courses in effective communication. In a manufacturing company where I worked, the company set up and support TOASTMASTER club that will help us become better communicators.

schools and organizations to take such steps, knowing that learning is about communication helps students and employees to think more critically, solve problems, increase your personal credibility, adapt to change, develop confidence and communicate interculturally.

Without the communication skills we can share thoughts and feelings with each other, still we can share our culture. Communication is a fundamental part of our everyday lives. Arguments can be that every hour we are awake, including communication. When you can not directly communicate with others, we are engaged in a number of intrapersonal communication activities such as sending e-mail, listening to music on the iPod, read the magazine ads, or even whether to go to work or class.

acts of communication are different from anything that is seemingly no matter what is said to welcome the casual acquaintances to call 911 to report an emergency.

Since the communication of social activity, can be changed - people can increase and improve their communication vještine.Uvjet to do so is grown as an American moving from manufacturing to knowledge-based economy. Workforce diversity and globalization requires increased competence in communicating with people from different cultures.

After repenting "intimidating" speech class, she will learn that speech is only one aspect of the entire communication process. The speaker is mainly engaged in communication when he or she consciously or unconsciously influence the behavior of others.

After entering the workforce as an engineer, Sue will immediately recognize that people ask and answer questions every day, participate in discussions, exchange of ideas in team meetings and deliver presentations -. Formal and informal

Factors such as culture, authenticity, motivation, listening skills, feedback will all come into play as these and similar happening. For example, a person referred to in this meeting, other team members to send messages back to the speaker with their smiles, yawns, looking blank, squirming in his chair, twirling their pens, send text messages from their mobile phones - all transmitting their individual non-verbal reaction to speaker.

How to complain to communicate at work will depend on its understanding of the communication process. While the definition of communication takes many forms, most of his opening address to the students learn the process of a person who sends the message that creates meaning in the second osobi.Ključna word "process", an interaction that consists of parts or components.

The most critical is the sender, an individual or group originated the message. In public speaking, the sender is someone who wants to communicate with others. To do this, the speaker prepares and sends a message containing information about the receivers the sender wants others to understand, it can be verbal or nonverbal

.

Messages are conveyed through the channel prijemnik.Kanal may be direct or "mediated" through a cell phone, a webinar on the Internet, radio or other means such as video cameras or fotografiju.Prijemnik intended recipient, and one that interprets the message. This is a receiver that assigns meaning to a May or May not be what the sender wants to communicate if the first place.

communication is often said to be based receiver. If Sue tells the audience that the webinar begins at 5 pm, most employees will think it means in the late afternoon, at the end of the day.

But employees, especially if they are physically isolated from others, can be interpreted that it was early morning meeting of the Internet. Receivers, after interpreting and assigning meaning to messages, compose a response or action were as a result means that you assigned to the message - as it tries to log into the early morning webinar, but doing so in the late afternoon.

The second part of the communication and feedback processes is what allows the speaker to determine whether the message is effective. Nod or smile May be slightly different from the noise. What is "bobbing" head mean? Or lack of eye contact? These feedback forms differ from culture to culture, as most of the speech and communication of students taught.

The communication takes place in both physical and social environment - the actual place where the communication takes place and the social environment, which is more abstract. People change their communication styles in response to both physical and social environments.If Sue meets with their academic advisor for a beer at a local bar, the communication style is different from what happens when you are there campus counselor's office.

the final aspect of communication involves noise or the kind of distractions that occur during communication events. Physical noise takes many forms, such as loud talking outside the classroom or online logs during the webinar.

internal noise can also occur. This happens, for example, when a student is thinking about something else, but the theme is presented in a colleague's speech, perhaps the recipient does not know her or she is "up next" to give a speech and to care will be considered as noise. Being hungry or sleepy during the webinar contributions of internal noise, or hearing a dog barking or a baby crying, and compiling important e-mail.

intercultural communication, influenced by the type of noise that produces a conflict or misunderstanding. When people use a common language, and some of the participants must use non-native language to participate, the noise occurs.

Few have complete fluency in another language, and as a result, it is easy to accent or misused words that make understanding difficult. "This type of noise is described as semantic noise and include jargon, slang, and even technical or professional terms" (West and Turner, 2004 ).

when taken together, these eight components of the communication process to provide an overview of what allows the impact of communication, whether or not it is interpersonal or public speaking.

sue her academic advisor listens intently as she explains why taking a speech class is so important to the future of this young engineer -. Messages, in fact, comes across loud and clear

She gets it, Sue says her adviser, I promise to sign up for a speech communication class pronto!
