...Using Language Effectively Christina Newell 08/24/15 Ms. Erin von Buseck COM/200 When using language effectively, it is best to know and to identify the listening barriers you have experienced, and explain their effects, and determine the appropriate listening strategies and responses during verbal communication. A situation from my life when I had trouble hearing is now because I have a mild hearing loss as it is now. The two barriers that were present was close-mindedness, assumptions, and defensiveness. The close-mindedness barrier contributed to my inability to listen effectively because I am stubbornly unreceptive to new ideas and I am intolerable of beliefs and opinions of others. The assumptions are the statements that I have assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can and will be drawn and this gave me the inability to listen effectively because I don't listen to what is being said in the statements or comments. The defensiveness is a primal response to feeling attacked\, misunderstood, threatened, or even disrespected because being able to feel unprotected by others is being defensive and a response to feeling attacked, misunderstood, threatened, or even disrespected causes myself a little discomfort for myself and I am sure others as well. Learning how to cope with these barriers is easy but yet hard to as well because you have to teach yourself all over again. For example: learning how to not make as many assumptions as you have in the past, learning how...

...COM200 COM 200 Week 2 Assignment Student name: University attached: Lecture name: Date of submission: I think the results provided by the language style matching were accurate. My family members and I were using a lot of communication between us. Our verbal communication was that we didn’t pay attention to the words we were using. We just talked everyday like we usually do. In the article, “Functions words tap into verbal coordination between two people because these words are independent of conversation topics and require shared knowledge to be used effectively.” Bruce Bower, U.S. News & World Report, Washington: Nov 2010, pg.1. Because we communicate with others, and they understand us, the word must mean the same to everyone else as it does to us. (Kreidler, 1998). My language style matching score was 0.86, which was an average score. Interpersonal communication; we communicate with people. I don’t think that language style matching is a thorough to predict the quality of interpersonal relationships. Why? Interpersonal communication is a social process. I think it is within people we communicate with others constantly. Once you have conversation with others you learn, listen, and observe people and he world around your. This is how we build and maintain relationships with others and meet our personal needs. Language style matching diminished as each relationship soared. Bruce Bower, Nov. 2010, pg. 1.
