What's up Explearners welcome back if
you're new hi my name is Mary Daphne and
this is the place for you if you want to
improve your communication skills which
will positively impact your professional
and personal lives so I'm so happy that
you're joining me today in this video
we're talking about a conversation
framework a speaking model framework
that will help you determine how to
communicate with people because the way
we communicate is based on a number of
components and today we're gonna get
into what those components are that is
gonna help you figure out how to talk
with people so this is a framework that
was designed by a socio linguist his
name is Dell Hymes and he's the one who
came up with the term communicative
competence what this framework shows us
is that language and culture are related
and they cannot be separated
this model is part of what we call the
ethnography of communication we're gonna
look at the acronym speaking and what
each of those letters stand for and why
it's gonna help you become more
effective at communicating are you ready
what this framework really highlights is
that there's no one-size-fits-all for
communication when we are hanging out
with our friends in a casual setting we
are gonna communicate differently than
when we're in a boardroom and running a
meeting or when we are making a sales
pitch or when we're trying to make a
client pitch the whole idea of
communication is that it is changeable
that it will vary according to a number
of things so let's get into it and see
what those number of things are s that
stands for scene and setting this just
means the actual physical location where
the conversation takes place so we call
it the scene and the setting because
it's exactly what it sounds like the
scene are the setting where does the
conversation or the communication take
place are you at a coffee shop are you
in a boardroom are you on stage are you
on the phone talking to your best friend
right so see
and setting P that means participants
who are the people with whom you were
engaging in conversation who are the
interlocutors are you speaking to an
audience who's the audience what is the
demographic of the audience what are
their interests these are all really
important questions that will help us
decide how we're going to communicate
with the participants e that stands for
ends so this means the purpose what is
the reason behind engaging in
conversation what is the reason for
communicating and it's really important
to understand that because it will make
the reason you're communicating so much
clearer and it will make your message
that much stronger what message do you
want to get across are you trying to
persuade someone are you trying to give
information to someone are you trying to
apologize to somebody what is the
purpose hey a stands for act sequence so
that just means the speech acts and the
order in which they are presented to the
speaker different speech acts include
apologizing inviting someone greetings
the list goes on okay K stands for T
this means the way the speaking is
performed the tone of voice you use the
inflection patterns the prosody which
means intonation the manner in which you
deliver the message so the style you can
think of it as elements combined for
delivery by instrumentalities or
instruments and that means the mode of
communication that is used are you
speaking on the phone
are you messaging over text message are
you broadcasting a message in an office
space for example are you on stage then
norms this is the norms of the
conversation so this is important in
that you have to understand the culture
in which you are communicating it is not
enough to know the language right and as
I said before language and culture are
intertwined they are best friends for
and ever and ever and they cannot cannot
be separated so you need to know what
the norms for proper appropriate
conversation is within a culture within
a subculture within a group within a
speech community and those rules are
really important because they are the
social rules that govern communication
and it's really important to respect
these rules and adhere to these norms
because that is how you can effectively
engage with people within that group
within that speech community within that
country within that culture the list
goes on right you can be native speakers
from that same language from that same
culture yet you can come from different
speech communities so in order to
effectively engage with somebody from
one speech community you need to be able
to understand that speech community and
what norms govern their social
interaction what is appropriate G G
stands for genre so you can think of it
as different types of communication for
example maybe you're telling a joke
maybe you're gossiping maybe you're
telling a story or giving an anecdote
maybe it's a conversation and these are
also dependent on the culture different
cultures have different ways of dealing
with jokes different cultures have
different types of jokes is satire use
is it appropriate to gossip right so
again this is where language and culture
they're intertwined nature pops up yet
again we cannot separate them nor should
we that is the beauty of cross-cultural
communication and communication in
general for that matter
all right Explearners is that's a wrap on
this video I hope that you enjoyed it do
give me a like if you enjoyed it which I
hope you did and don't forget that your
communication will differ according to
these things that we talked about in the
speaking acronym and since it's a
mnemonic it's pretty easy to remember
and quite relevant to speaking framework
and it's for conversations and the way
you communicate so I hope you enjoyed
this video and share with a friend and
I'll catch you right here on Explearning communication in my next video
Happy Explearning !!!
