Week 8 Paralanguage

• I learned about voice, paralanguage (pitch, volume, tempo, resonance, etc.). I have seen many idioms about voice ,for example "the tongue has no bones, but is strong enough to break a heart, so becareful wuth your words". It is easy to say to other people or even ourselves to think before speak, but in real life it is quite hard to do it.

 

• In the vdo, I have observed  the Dutch, American, and Thai people talking to each other to find out what are the differences of voice and paralanguage between them.

Week 7 mind map

This mind map is about business communication that I have learned for half semester. It has six sections which are research and problem-posing, breakthrough skills, CCCD process, conscious communication, people skills, and verbal and nonverbal awareness.

 

• Research and problem-posing has five main ideas which are describe the situation, issues or problems, why it’s happen, how its affect you, and solutions.

• Breakthrough skills have four goals to keep in mind which are develop a global mindset, practicing cultural agility, managing relationships, and creating opportunity.

• CCCD process has four sections which are choose a communication goal, creating the message, coordinating with others, and deliver the message.

• Conscious communication has four components: conscious communication is mindful, conscious communication displays awareness of communication as a process, conscious communication respects diversity, conscious communication requires balancing strategy, ethics, and outcomes.

• People skills, people has 15 different skills: diplomacy, organization, problem-solving abilities, team-player skills, initiative, leadership, flexibility, persuasion, ethics, honesty, written communication, verbal communication, creativity, educational interests, and humor.

• Verbal and nonverbal awareness continuum include unaware (unclear, no strategies, exclusive, unsupportive), moderately aware (mixture and attempt between unaware and aware), and aware (clear, strategies, inclusive, supportive).

week 6 workspace

I learned about workspace by observed the offices in BUUIC. Workspace is a reflection of the image you want to portray at work. Your work area should be neat, free from clutter, and clean and limit the display of artifacts. I have observed almost all of the instuctor's office. Everybody has different styles to decorate their offices. Some office is very neat and clean. But some office is very mess and full of documents.

My dream office

Week5 Conscious communication is mindful

I learned about conscious communication. It has three sections, unaware, moderately, and aware. I think most of people will be in the middle. Sometimes people don’t care about what they talk but sometimes they think carefully before they talk. I am also in the middle. Some situations I have to think before I talk and some situations I don’t have to think so much.

 

  

Week 4

We were separating in to a group of three which includes Garfield, Rebecca, and I. We were reading Mary’s story. We have thought what should or shouldn’t Mary do. We have applied what we have learned before to this case for example, breaking through skills, communication concepts, conscious communication, and cccd process. Finally, we did the video about Mary’s case.

Week 3 people skills

I have watched some video clips that made by classmates and also my video that has done with my partner. I think I should put some text to make the video clearer and also put some music to catch the audience attention.

Today I learned about people skills through a questionnaire. It has 15 different people skills for example diplomacy, problem-solving abilities, persuasion, and honesty. The questionnaire seems to be easy but it’s not that easy because of the choices it provided. It wasn’t easy to pick the one that suit me best. I had to rethinking the choices then select the best one.   

 

Week 2 vdo and reflection

Reflection

Today Mr.C taught about breakthrough skills which include developing global mindset, practicing cultural agility, managing relationships, and creating opportunity. Mr.C let us observed people in the campus and took notes what we have seen. Partner and I have observed at the canteen. We got many case studies, around 5 cases. But we put only 2 case studies which were interesting in the vdo above. The 2 cases were Mr.C talked with another foreigner and the other was chinese student with the ticket seller. 

Week 1 Business Communication

Reflection

Today I learned about business and professional communication and it was a first class of this semester. We have read about what is business and professional communication. Business and professional communication refers to all forms of speaking, listening, relating, and responding both human and electronically mediated.

   

We also read one case study which was about Maria and her first teleconference with the new team from Singapore. There had problems between Maria and Kiran. Maria wanted to show that she really worked hard and prepared for this project but Kiran wanted her to listen to some missed information that was not in the report or memo. Maria was angry and upset; on the other hand Kiran got the first impression from this meeting because Maria put a lot of effort to achieve her duties.
