you should identify your purpose for
speaking and as a listener find the
speaker’s purpose thru his/her verbal
and non-verbal cues.

means using the appropriate speaking
volume, pitch rate, proper enunciation,
stress, and acceptable pronunciation.
We speak in order to be understood.

must pay attention to verbal and non-
verbal message. Effective
communication depends on what
people say and how they say it.

distractions or noise like closed area,
empty room, or quiet places.
Lessening the cause for confusion
means giving more room to focus and
concentrate.
5. Being Specific  using simple and
concise words as much as possible in
delivering a message. Being specific
means being direct to the point

judgement, be sure that you have
listened attentively to the speaker.
