Encoding to decoding

 Hello friends,

Communication is all about encoding and decoding. Are we talking about computers here ? Well yes and no. 

Computers use input data ...process & produce output. Now the similarity with communication...

Always there is in communication a sender and receiver as we know.

So when you send talk you send a signal to the listener (Encoding) which he registers and reciprocates .

Let's not get too technical..

How to make communication really effective.Here's the mantra

Compact --Keep it to the point.

Concise-- Keep it brief.

Clear--- Place your ideas clearly.

Constructive---Make sure you get a favourable outcome.

Clever---Make the right use of words.

These are my 5 C's for communication.

In business communication is usually:

BtoB --Business to Business.

Bto C-- Business to Customer.

Cto C--Customer  to customer.

Also:

Vertical communication -- From the employees to seniors.

Horizontal communication-- From Employees to their subordinates.

Downward communication-- From employees to juniors.

Crosswise communication ---Inter department.

In the next session more on types of communication.

Till then bye & keep talking.

The magic of Phonics

 Hi friends , Today’s is a very interesting topic. Phonics. Phonics are alphabet sounds that make all the difference. Phonetics is the sound system of a language. Phonology is the art of learning phonics. How to start: The IPA ( International phonetics association) has devised symbols for each sound. But it’s always easier to remember a sound rather than a symbol. In India , when we learn any regional language, we first learn sounds "Barakhadi".But in American or British English some sounds have to be created ...like aa , ae , er , ch , sh . This has what has given rise to phonics ..according to me .The IPA (International phonetic association ) has given symbols for each of these sounds but learn a sound is always easier than learning a symbol. Just imagine after years of learning English , someone were to tell you its not A its ae ,would be confusing well. That's why I recommend ..learn the sound and not the symbol. More important is the Intonation part ..When you talk a...

Share and learn

Hello people, Today’s topic is related to English improvement but a bit different.When I taught English at the Institute, I had a number of students with a number of experiences.I want to share one of them . There was this student who wanted to join the army .He was continuously failing in a particular subject and that was the English paper .He had invested much money in this .He belonged to a very poor family .So he attended the course and after that just disappeared for sometime .I thought he’d dropped out of class . Later one day he turned up all of a sudden .He had a wide grin .Before I could say a word he told me that he got through the paper and I was glad for him .He came to share the news with me .I was happy for him.Anyway ,I’m sure today he’s doing really well.This story will help rejuvenate your confidence .I’m sure . Take care .
