Activity: Communication Techniques

Now it's your turn to identify effective communication. Watch the videos below, and jot down the communication techniques used. How many can you find?

	Ways to Communicate: Mahnaz and Behyar 1:23
	Ways to Communicate: Maria 0:48
	Ways to Communicate: David 0:42
	Ways to Communicate: Don 0:52

You may have noticed that:

• Behyar uses pointing and body language to ask for chicken. And that he maintains a
  sense of humour.
• Maria spells out words and also uses body language to communicate.
• David stresses the need for humour when tutoring. How does humour help the learner?
• Don focuses on learner centred activities, as well as finding a common
  interest. He also provides encouragement and support at an appropriate level and speed.
