| communication skills for students: Academic Communication Skills Li-Shih Huang, 2010-09-23 Academic Communication Skills is designed to assist international graduate students as they create their own opportunities to expand their linguistic and strategic repertoires in academic English conversations. The needs of international graduate students are often different than those of others who have learned English as an additional language because they participate in academic conversations at advanced levels, encounter daily opportunities to discuss topics about which they have sophisticated knowledge, and are required to share their expertise with others (in their roles as teaching assistants or research assistants). As students progress in their academic studies, they increasingly understand that their fluency in academic oral communications plays an important role in their academic performance and future career options. While they recognize the importance, many voice frustrations, finding that speaking English is more difficult than writing and engaging in impromptu dialogues is more difficult than presenting prepared monologues. This book is an excellent resource for either classroom instruction or for self-study. It provides effective confidence-building strategies that speakers can try when participating in a range of different academic interactions. By guiding both students and instructors in examining common conversational challenges in academic environments, including many of the assumptions that frequently cause miscommunication, the book provides proven strategies for increased effectiveness and confidence in cross-cultural academic conversations. |

A stratified random sampling strategy was employed to select a sample of N=2000 postgraduate students from three universities. Data were collected using a self-report questionnaire assessing communication proficiency, confidence, strengths, weaknesses, and skills improvement. Additionally, participants' performance was evaluated through oral presentations, group discussions, and written communication tasks. The self-report questionnaires revealed that the majority (65-75%) perceived their overall communication proficiency as average to above-average, with 40-50% expressing confidence. Strengths included clarity of expression, active listening, and adaptability, while weaknesses comprised public speaking, conflict resolution, and non-verbal communication. Approximately 60-70% believed they were effective in expressing ideas verbally and perceived improvement during postgraduate studies. Oral presentation assessments exhibited variations, with University A's Science (20% excellent) and Engineering (25% excellent) disciplines performing better. Group discussion assessments highlighted nuanced differences, with University A's Engineering (25% excellent) and University B's Medicine (25% excellent) disciplines excelling. Written communication assessments revealed consistent trends, with 20-25% excellent ratings in Science, Engineering, Medicine, and Social Sciences disciplines. The study underscores the multifaceted nature of communication skills and the need for tailored, discipline-specific training programs to enhance proficiency and contribute to academic development. The findings align with previous research emphasizing the importance of structured communication skills training for postgraduate students. Future studies could explore longitudinal impacts, comparative analyses with undergraduate students, and alternative training methods. |

| communication skills for students: From Neurons to Neighborhoods National Research Council, Institute of Medicine, Board on Children, Youth, and Families, Committee on Integrating the Science of Early Childhood Development, 2000-11-13 How we raise young children is one of today's most highly personalized and sharply politicized issues, in part because each of us can claim some level of expertise. The debate has intensified as discoveries about our development-in the womb and in the first months and years-have reached the popular media. How can we use our burgeoning knowledge to assure the well-being of all young children, for their own sake as well as for the sake of our nation? Drawing from new findings, this book presents important conclusions about nature-versus-nurture, the impact of being born into a working family, the effect of politics on programs for children, the costs and benefits of intervention, and other issues. The committee issues a series of challenges to decision makers regarding the quality of child care, issues of racial and ethnic diversity, the integration of children's cognitive and emotional development, and more. Authoritative yet accessible, From Neurons to Neighborhoods presents the evidence about brain wiring and how kids learn to speak, think, and regulate their behavior. It examines the effect of the climate-family, child care, community-within which the child grows. |
