Effective Communication and Team Work

Dear Readers,

Businesses often ask employees to complete projects that require they work as a team. Working together has many benefits, including the possibility to create new friendships, a sense of group accomplishments and distribution of responsibilities. Conversely, teamwork also may cause tension and anxiety among employees because of poor communication. Effective communication can eliminate much of the stress and negative feelings sometimes associated with working closely as a team.

Characteristics: -

 To have effective communication in the work place, team members must keep an open mind, engage in active listening and have a clear understanding of project goals and requirements. Active listening is perhaps the most important of these. Active listening involves note taking, asking relevant questions and repeating what the other person says to verify clarify.

Effects: -

Effective communication determines the success or failure of projects requiring teamwork, and ultimately, the business itself. When team members communicate with open minds, and by asking questions rather than making assumptions, they build trust and harmony in the working environment. These elements work together to create a business culture of friendship and success.

Types: -

Employees at every level of an organisation must communicate with others in a variety of ways. Types of communication include emails, traditional letter writing, phone conversation and face-to-face exchange of ideas. Each platform has its own set of etiquette rules and skill sets. With proper training in communication skills and techniques, employees often improve their effectiveness across all communication platforms.

A lack of communication can lead to:

-   Missed project deadlines and slow progress toward problem solving can indicate communication issues

-   Spending too much time discussing strategies rather than implementing them.

-   No clear team direction or focus

-   Team conflict

-   Arguing among team members

What are some communications techniques and how do they work in a team environment?

Verbal communications: -

With verbal communication, team members can express their ideas and objectives with the clear and understandable use of words.

Using techniques such as open-ended questioning, for example asking questions that require more than a yes or no answer can help everyone involved give your opinions on a subject. This technique can make verbal communication among team members more effective.

Email: -

Email communication is a way to convey an instant message to team members, but an email should give only basic information and call for a verbal ‘follow up’ for more detail data. A poorly worded email can cause confusion. Email works best when team members use good spelling and proper grammar, and make the message clear. It is good way for teams to circulate information, arrange meetings and share data, but using email for group conversation is often less effective than discussing things in person.

Body Language: -

Several aspects of body language can be effective in a group setting. How close a team is seated together can indicate whether or not the members feel unified. A lazy posture can indicate disinterest in the topic being discussed. Physically touching team members can convey a feeling of intimacy and confidence. By watching body language when interacting, team members can find out how well they’re working together and if some people within the group are not comfortable with the environment.

Why learning a foreign language is Important

Langma School of Languages

The idea of an eventual alienation from their culture seems to be one of the reasons we’re reluctant to learn foreign languages, and it is a fact that we in general are protective of their culture. This is evidenced, among other things, by the efforts of Indian immigrant parents in the United States or European culture to maintain their own traditions for their children, who are constantly exposed to the western culture.

More importantly, Indian parents know that language is a key to cultural identity and losing it would reduce the chances to preserve their own native culture. But language also opens possibilities to enrich their own culture and to spread it to others as well. And this is what the goal should be.

 
Learning any foreign language as a second language is similar to receiving a key to a second culture. This second key comes with a number of benefits; first, and perhaps most important, we have the chance to communicate with people from other cultures. We can use this ability to interact to spread our own culture and educate others. I wouldn't be writing this post sharing my perspective as an Indian if it weren't for that possibility.

But the benefits are not limited to a matter of input and output. A second benefit, that in some cases is ignored, is the opportunity to broaden our minds and thinking. A language is not just a given number of words and a set of grammar rules. New mental structures also come with other languages. We have to learn different ways of thinking, and this is something that improves us as human beings.

With such benefits, being able to communicate in foreign language seems a great asset for all of us and, for that matter, any person from any region. But, what about the how?  And how Indian students can learn a foreign language? As per the requirement of students we started an Institution in 2012, and the mission of our Institution is to provide better facility to the students to learn a foreign language and we’ve also set the goal of making students bilingual. The plan started with the discussion and selection of a reference framework for languages and its application in all levels of education. By establishing levels for students and a proper guideline is provided by the trainers at the Institution, according to certain competence indicators, the program improves the language skills in students and prepares them for success in the highly competitive global market.

But even at an individual level, learning foreign language has never been easier than now. With more and more content being produced by people who used to be passive content consumers, and with the immediate availability of such content anywhere in the world, finding material to learn is simple. If you feel that textbooks are boring, why not learn a foreign language using material on topics you are really interested in? 

In my personal experience, I began researching about the importance of foreign language just five years ago and before that, was not aware of all the possibilities and the future of foreign language. I came across sites about photography, design, travel, even research papers on linguistics and other fields, all of which enriched me culturally and professionally and made me eager to share my findings as a teaching. If we translate this into formal language instruction, it's similar to thousands of hours of reading, hundreds of pages of writing and months of listening, through the articles, forums and videos available online.

In conclusion, we can learn a foreign language without losing our own culture; what is more, multiculturalism will enrich our lives at an individual level and at a collective level; our cultural identity will be represented throughout the world, and we will understand other cultures as well.
