- · Do you find yourself communicating differently with people from different groups and cultures?
Yes, I communicate differently with people from
different groups and cultures.
- · If yes, in what ways do you communicate differently?
I communicate differently with different groups and
cultures by my tone of voices, facial expressions, and language. When I am at
work I talk with other teachers differently than talking with a parent. With
teachers I know well and are more comfortable around I would hold a conversation
with them without being professional. Communicating with parents I always smile
and try to always lead off a conversation with something positive. I feel
comfortable around people who are more like me where I joke, laugh and have fun
but when strangers or people different from me come around I seem to become
serious.
- · Three strategies you could use to help you communicate more effectively with the people or groups you have identified.
1. Listen
to what the other person or people are saying
2. Try
to understand what the other person or people are saying
3. Speak
in a clear, toned voice using correct language
