Communication and interaction in speech

Communication in Speech

  • language fluency: Essential to express thoughts, ideas, and feelings effectively. Language fluency includes good vocabulary, appropriate use of idioms and proverbs, and correct grammatical structures.
  • clarity of speech: Clear pronunciation and correct use of Urdu phonetics are essential. It facilitates understanding between the speaker and the listener.
  • appropriate expressions: Using appropriate verbal expressions helps to keep the conversation meaningful and relevant.

Interaction in Speech

  • listening skills: Active listening is an important aspect of speech interaction. It is the process of focusing completely on the speaker, understanding their message, responding thoughtfully and avoiding interruptions.
  • questioning: Asking appropriate, relevant and open-ended questions can keep the conversation active and engaged.
  • responding: Responding thoughtfully and affirmatively contributes to stronger communication. A good response includes expressing agreement/disagreement politely and providing constructive feedback.
  • turn-taking: Respecting the principle that conversation is a two-way process. It involves following social norms of communication, such as taking turns in speaking, and allowing others to respond without interruption.

Non-verbal Communication

  • using gestures: Non-verbal cues like facial expressions, hand movements and body language complement verbal communication. They help to convey the intended message more effectively.
  • eye contact: Maintaining good eye contact shows you are focused and interested in the conversation.
  • tone and pace: Using an appropriate tone of voice and maintaining a pace that matches the situation and topic of conversation can convey the right message and engage listeners.

Remember, effective communication and interaction in speech, especially in Urdu, are measured not only by what you say, but also by how you say it. This includes your gesture, tone, pitch, volume and pace. You should aim to interact thoughtfully and appropriately in different speaking situations and contexts.
