This essay will discuss the role of the early year’s educators in particular focusing on supporting speech, language and communication in early childhood. When a child is growing up, their speech and language gives them access to the world and people around them. They learn to communicate with other people, and shape their own thoughts with words. Language and communication skills include a child's ability to express himself or herself through words, gestures, or facial expressions, as well as the capacity to understand others. “Communication is an essential life skill. It is the basis on which all children learn, achieve and make friends. It is vital to the development of children’s social and emotional well-being”. (Lindon, J., 2002). The early years settings is concerned with emergent literacy. The early years practitioners need to provide a print rich environment to the children for example when they are ready a story hold the book up so they can see the words, having the childs name and photograph on the placemats. (NCCA, 2009).

Early language and reading development (such as the ability to read and write) starts in the initial three years of life and is connected to a kid's soonest encounters with books and stories. The communications that youthful kids have with such education materials as books, paper, and pastels, and with the adults in their lives are the foundation for speaking, reading, and writing maturity. This new understanding of early reading growth supplements the additional new research supporting the key role of early encounters in molding mental health and development. Late research also upholds an experiential procedure of adopting spoken and written dialect skills t...
There are vast communication differences between males and females, which makes it difficult for the two sexes to maintain stable and functional relationships with each other. Areas in which these problems occur include children’s development, friendships, romantic relationships, and work environments. If these communication problems continue to persist in heterosexual relationships, our nations heterosexual divorce rates may rise well over 50% in the next few decades.
Iago is one of the most complex characters in William Shakespeare’s Othello. To most of the characters, he is “Honest Iago” (Shakespeare, 5.2.73). however, the audience knows that Iago is the furthest thing from honest. Iago is a devil bent on destroying the lives of everyone around him. At the beginning of the play, the audience learns that Iago is determined to ruin Othello’s marriage to Desdemona. He has appointed a new lieutenant, Michael Cassio. This angers Iago because he feels that he has much more military experience and should be the lieutenant. Iago has also heard rumours that both Othello and Cassio have slept with his wife Emilia. He concocts a malicious plan to ruin the lives of all who have wronged him, and consequently establishing
In William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Othello, Iago demonstrates a mastery of manipulation over people who had previously trusted and confided in him. His sudden turn from Othello’s loyal ensign to rage-filled villain seems indicative of a man who can no longer accept his position in life. Iago’s plotting of Othello’s demise starts as idle talk of a disgruntled 28 year-old career military man passed over for promotion. Iago believes that such a promotion may never come after Othello rejects his candidacy and makes it clear that he did not believe him suitable. He sees Othello is only concerned with personal and political gain with his choice of Cassio as lieutenant. When Iago teams with love-scorned and desperate Roderigo, he begins to construct Othello’s downfall. Iago is declaring an all-out covert war on Othello, Cassio, and anyone else who gets in his way. In Iago’s first speech in Act I Scene II, he proclaims hatred for Othello and lays out his plan for seeking vengeance. “After some time, to abuse Othello’s ears that he is too familiar with his wife (Shakespeare 1473).”
Othello is willing to extend faith and trust to Iago, and Othello mistakenly believes that Iago loves him. Othello’s crime is not trusting his wife, and trusting a dishonest character. When Iago tells Othello “Did you perceive how he laughed at his vice?” (4.1.137). Iago is telling Othello that Cassio laughs when he admits to having slept with Desdemona. Othello thinks this is true because Othello trusts Iago, but it would have been possible for Othello to think Cassio was lying to Iago. Othello talking with Iago decides he will kill Desdemona with poison, but changes his mind and decides to kill her by strangling her in bed at Iago’s suggestion.
Communication is an essential part of our lives. Although we’ve been doing it daily, not all have mastered the art of effective communication. The consequences are that we might create misunderstandings, anger, and discouragement even if they are unintended.
Iago knows very well that trust and deceit must go hand in hand in order for him to achieve his vengeance on Othello and Cassio. Hence, as he plans the downfalls of them, he is continually trying to obtain their undoubting trust. He slowly poisons people’s thoughts, creating ideas in their heads without implicating himself. Iago even says himself that the advice he gives is free and honest and thus, people rarely stop to consider the possibility that Iago is fooling them.
Othello has had Iago as his ensign for many years. They have gone to battle many times over. In war, every little thing can affect the outcome, everything is vital information. During this time, Othello, when he was upset or unsure of what to do, has learned to trust and listen to Iago’s insights about strategy and war. Othello shows that his trust in Iago extends beyond the battlefield when he asks Iago to take care of his wife during the voyage to Cyprus. It’s this trust that backfires on him. When Othello hears Iago’s off hand remark about Cassio, he trusts that Iago would not have said anything if it wasn’t something to worry about. Then, Iago, knowing how Othello thinks of his character, makes Othello think there is more to his thoughts than he is willing to speak of. Iago knows just what to say and how to articulate it to make Othello think the worst. He even manages to look like a friend who wants to keep...

We use language in a variety of ways, for example, to tell people how we feel, to talk about things that we like and to be able to question and understand the world around us. As well as giving children a sense of identity. Language can be diverse and standard, for example, language can be diverse amongst cultures with different English accents and language can be standard when the majority of people in a country speak a variety of English. Language can be seen through reading and heard through oral language. Halliday and Piaget 's functions on language indicated the important roles of language in children’s lives. Language has been outlined in this essay to play a major role in children’s lives. Most importantly it gives children the skills to learn to communicate and exchange information with others around
Effective communication is critical within the criminal justice setting. No records system can be effective without clearly communicating policies, directives, and procedures. Nor can an officer carry out a mission or survive without clear communications. Because communication involves the exchange of information between people (Wallace & Roberson, 2009) it is important to consider how people may perceive what is said or written in different situations. In this paper I will discuss the criminal justice setting, how they utilizes formal and informal channels of communication along with the use of verbal, non-verbal, communication. I will discuss the different barriers of communication, the difference of hearing and listening and how to overcome the barriers of communication in the criminal justice setting.
Healthcare professionals require effective communication skills in order to communicate with the varied range of patients they deal with in health and social care settings. ‘Effective communication skills are key in health and social care because they help you to establish and develop relationships with colleagues, management and families. Communication is the simplest way to really get a sense of how a person is coping and what steps you need to take to improve their health and wellbeing’ (Stonebridge College 2016).

When studying the processes and means of communication in humans, there have been two types of means of communication that has been found to operate in humans, namely verbal communication and non-verbal communication. Under non-verbal communication, the main methods that have been used as means of communicating non-verbally are the sign language, body language (which includes posture, hand gestures, facial expressions, etc;), para-language, proxemics and tone of voice. Under verbal communication the main areas of concern are speech comprehension and production of speech.
Language is the basis of human communication. It is a cultural and social interaction, and the way language is used is influenced by the circumstances in which it takes place (Emmitt, 2010, p. 49; Green, 2006, p. 2). Children become aware that there are different types of language, including languages used at home, at childcare and at school, as they observe and participate in various language situations (Fellowes & Oakley, 2014, p. 39). Some of these languages may be unfamiliar, and children will need to learn the different roles and uses of language. The different roles of language in a child’s life are, therefore, part of their growing understanding of how to behave in society and in a particular context. As they experience different types and uses of language, children develop an understanding of how to use language appropriately for any given situation.
