When communicating with the public, it is very important that the message is well thought out and that it speaks to a wide audience. Communicating with a vast audience can be challenging, because the message must speak to the audience. Some of the challenges communicating with a diverse audience are age, economic level, education and occupation, needs and concerns of the audience, culture, and rapport (Lehman, DuFrene, & Walker, 2016).

The district manager of the theatre needs to make a formal statement to the media addressing the situation that occurred. The channel that will be used is oral and nonverbal communication. The oral communication is considered the oral statement and the nonverbal communication would be considered body language. The level of communication is public and the medium is a statement to the media or press. The public level of communication refers to a statement that reaches out to the public and reaches many people with the same message (Lehman, et al., 2016). The district manager will speak on the theatres behalf and apologize to community for the inconvenience that this has caused.

The message must be received and interpreted the same from people of a different gender, race or ethnicity, religion, age, or disability. Communication can become difficult when there are so many expectations to meet with a diverse audience. The key to building a message that is received by everyone is to build it from the audience’s perspective. Communicating to the community regarding a business can be terrifying, because if the message is not received well then they hold the fate of the business in their hands.

The characteristics of the audience that I must consider when addressing the audience are the primary stakeholders. They are employees, managers, and owners. They are individuals who will be affected by an endeavor and can influence it, but they are directly involved with doing the work and engaging in economic transactions with the business. They are individuals who beliefs are opinions held by people; their values are views of their sense of right or wrong. Their attitudes are predispositions to behavior such as inclination to agree or disagree; approve or disapprove. Their behaviors are actions taken that are not always consistent with beliefs, values and attitudes.

The conversation I chose to analyze was the third conversation between two participants about a classmate they go to school with.

The bible has two different forms of communicating it’s message to the world. One form being oral communication this is when a person depends mostly on verbal, audio, and some type of visual means of communication. “Verbal communication is the very first form of communication that we read about in the Bible ” (Brown, 2012). When using a form of oral communication such as an audiotape people can replay the sections over and over again. This allows them time to think about what they are hearing and relate this is their own life experiences. Oral communication allows the speaker to not only get their point across, but to provide a story with expressions and body language that can bring what they are saying to life. An example of this scripture

Effective communication in its various forms is the substratum of crisis management. Internal and external communication is essential during times of crisis if a successful outcome is to prevail. In a crisis, people’s lives are often at risk, these are lives that can be lost or protected; however, their fate lies in the hands of information. A breakdown in communication during times of crisis will interfere in dispensing pertinent and time sensitive information to the target audience, thus placing them at a gross disadvantage in protecting their health. During a crisis, it can be extremely costly to falter in delivering accurate, detailed, and informative information.
As a professional in today’s society, it is greatly important to be able to communicate effectively with other professionals, with clients, and with those that are encountered in daily living. In order to communicate in a proper manner, not only is talking and non-verbal communication, but a large aspect is the ability to listen.

I have made an attempt to explore a relatively untreated arena of English Language Teaching in India. The long association of Indians and English has proved an advantage for the Indian youth. In the current globalized world, oral communication skills have gained importance. Learning language is not difficult for the Indian learners who have a multi-linguistic background. However, this background causes a difficulty which is reflected in their oral communication. While the written skills are more or less uniform, as they are acquired from books, the oral communicative behavior is diversified. This can be attributed to the absence of a conducible atmosphere to teach/learn Spoken English.
Witsel (2003) from the Southern Cross University advanced that teaching at tertiary or any level was rather uncomfortable even when the socioeconomic and cultural background of students are compatible with that of their teachers. Consequently, teachers have the added responsibility of motivating, assessing, negotiating, admonishing as well as teaching. The expert contends that these tasks force teachers to go beyond the call of duty by placing themselves in active relationships with students and the professional responsibilities they execute on a daily basis. Therefore, it becomes complicated when students appear in a classroom with various linguistic backgrounds, learning styles and expectations based on their socioeconomic and cultural development (Witsel, 2003).
One of the main aspects in communicating is listening. An effective listener is one who, not only comprehends how the speaker feels but, also understands what they are stating. Building a strong connection between the speaker and the listener is one of the first steps to become a good listener. By building this connection speakers should first be in an environment with open minded listeners, it makes them feel more comfortable to state their opinions, feelings and ideas. Listeners should avoid being judgmental. The individual does not have to agree with the ideas, values or opinions of the speaker; however, to fully understand them, one must put aside their criticism. Speakers will believe that they can trust the listeners with their information when they know that they will not be judged. Miscommunication happens frequently, listene...
