BEP 76: Conversation Techniques |
12 Jan 2021
|
INTRODUCTION In this podcast lesson, we’ll be looking at a number of useful techniques to help to you develop a conversation. When you are taking part in a conversation the most important thing is to react to what the other person is saying. If you don’t react, the conversation is likely to end very quickly. Reacting helps to show that you are listening, you are interested in what the other person is saying and that you want to keep the conversation going. We’ll demonstrate some basic conversation techniques through two dialogues. While you listen, make a mental note of the techniques used to keep the conversation going. SITUATION 1 You're now going to listen to two conversations between Paul and Nancy. In the first conversation, make a note of what Nancy says in reaction to what Paul says and vice versa. |
