21.Communicating effectively in English

 The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn’t said.

                                                                                               -Peter Drucker

Effective communication is the process of exchanging ideas, thoughts, opinions, knowledge and data so that the message is received and understood with clarity and purpose. When we communicate effectively both the sender and receiver feel satisfied.

The seven C’s of communication are a set of principles that ensures that the underlying message is communicated effectively when we are communicating. They are Clarity, Correct, Complete, Concrete, Concise, Considered, Courteous.

Effective communication is a combination of active listening, non-verbal cues, Such as body language and tone, capability to understand one’s own emotions and that of the person one is communicating with and ability to dealt with stress in the present situation. Additionally, being mindful of cultural differences and context helps prevent misunderstandings.

We know that English is global language. So that effective communication  in English can open many doors for many different jobs and academic excellence also.

*******************************************************************

 Effective communication in English is crucial for clear, concise, and persuasive expression. As George Orwell wrote in 'Politics and English Language': "But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought", ensuring your message is clear and easy to understand is the basic attribute for effective communication. For this we may need to adapt tone and style according to audience as English has numerous dialect and slangs. Being mindful of cultural differences and avoiding languages or topics that might be offensive or insensitive is also very crucial. Active listening by asking questions or simply observing the audience can be a effective way for the cultural awareness.  Being aware of body language, facial expression, and gestures will also give you an upper hand  as they can convey a lot of information without saying a word. Ultimately effective communication is the result of consciousness of the one communicating and can also be changed by the response of the audience.
