Document Summary

Communication: interactive exchange of information, ideas, feelings, needs, and desires. 3 elements: a message, a sender who expresses the message, a receiver who responds to the message. Intraindividual communication occurs when the same person is both sender and receiver of the same message. Narrating: children need to be able to tell a story. Explaining/informing: teachers expect children to interpret the explanations of others in speech and writing and to put what they understand into words so that their listeners or readers can understand it. Requesting: children are expected to communicate their wishes and desires to others in an appropriate way. Expressing: children should be able to express their personal feelings and opinions and respond to the feelings of others. Paralinguistic behaviours: speech modifications (variations in stress, pitch, intonation, rate of delivery, pauses) Non-paralinguistic cues: body posture, facial expressions, gestures, eye contact, head and body movement, and physical proximity.
