Language allows people to communicate with great
precision. The Language and Communication group
studies how people use language in specific discourse
contexts, to share information with others, and to
persuade or otherwise affect them.

Abstract
Language and communication
Communication is one of the
21st Century skills
This
thesis has been written on commission by me,
Girgis Hanna Haroun, a
supervisor of English at high
schools and colleges in Egypt.
Several
preliminary interviews made us very interested
at the situations at
schools and helped us to formulate
our research question: “How does
communication
affect the productivity of schools and organizations"
Moreover,
it made our research have two purposes,
one of academic character, and
one of practical
character. The academic purpose is in investigating
relationship between communication and language,
i.e. efficiency and
productivity. The practical purpose
is in giving analysis-based
recommendations about
possible ways to increase productivity and
efficiency
to our educational organizations.
The findings of our research revealed that words,
grammatical study and texts have roles.
Communication
is a dynamic interactive process that involves the
effective transmission of facts, ideas, thoughts,
feelings, and values.Intercultural communication
skills are those required to
communicate, or share
information, with people from other cultures and
social
groups.Communication is instrumental or directly
satisfies certain needs like physical, emotional,
social, psychological.
1-To inform. 2-To entertain.
3-To regulate. 4-To instruct.
5-To influence. 6-To motivate.
7-To persuade. 8-To inquire.
Research Content:
Communication is one of
the 21st Century skills
1-Introduction
Skills are indispensable in the changing scenario of the '
21st century.
Communication is a game-changer and social order to meet
the growing
demands of the workforce. Communication
skills are the key to social
integration in the twenty-first
century. This results in a prolific and
talented workforce
and is an integral element for success in a working
environment. Employees are prepared to become change
agents for embedding the four core skills you can develop
in the 21st century and a
blueprint to develop models and
capacity to support the new age working scenario.
Learning how to make new discoveries that will
contribute to a
better understanding of how natural
language is used and processed in
real-life situations.
Whenever we use language – whether it’s
written,
spoken or signed – we’re communicating.
How does this work, and
how and why does
miscommunication occur? How does language
fit together
and how do we learn to understand each other?
This study provides a research devoted to the
interdisciplinary study of language and communication.
The investigation of language and its communication
functions is
treated as a concern shared in common
by those working in applied
linguistics, child
development, cultural studies, discourse analysis,
intellectual history, legal studies, language evolution,
linguistic
anthropology, linguistics, philosophy,
the politics of language,
pragmatics, psychology,
rhetoric, semiotics, and sociology-linguistics.
actually used, when it is used effectively, and why.
Purpose:
Communication is instrumental or directly satisfies
certain needs like physical, emotional, social,
psychological etc...
1-To inform. 2-To entertain.
3-To regulate. 4-To instruct.
5-To influence. 6-To motivate.
7-To persuade. 8-To inquire.
1-The Research Vision, Mission and Objectives
The vision is (Communication between learners,
individuals, societies, nations and countries
all over the world).
The mission is Doing research theses
The Objectives are:Solving problems that arise from
the diverse cultures and their conflicts inside the
education organizations.
2-A problem needs a solution
We
faced a problem that needs a an urgent solution.
The problem is: We,
the researching group, noticed
that the learning outcomes of high
schools and
colleges are low. Learners didn't practice
Languages
as means of communication. They used languages
as subjects to
be memorized to answer its exercises
only through written tests..
3-Reasons for the research:
The
reason for doing such research is that I and my
colleagues noticed that
some organizations and schools
did not work as efficiently as they could, and
senior
managers have encountered various problems.
There is no proper communication. Complaints were
numerous. People worked in terms of only firm
accountability and
punishment.
There was no vision, no mission, no objectives,
no team
work, no love or respect and no good
performance. We have been asked to
estimate
the situation, analyze it, and come up with solutions
which
could increase efficiency and productivity;
in other words, increase
organizational performance.
After preliminary interviews with the senior
managers
and teachers at schools, we have identified our areas
of the
interest: ( Practice creates communication,
Communication and culture, Communication and
language)
The teachers worked individually without any
collaboration with their
managers or school leaders.
Teachers didn't like change. They used
traditional
method of teaching like the GTM method. Learners
were just
listeners or stores waiting for being filled
with some information that
were learnt by heart.
Learners knew nothing about any critical thinking
like practice, analysis, synthesis, evaluation,
imagination, creation
or innovation. They didn't use
technology in learning. There were no
meeting
areas between the organization managers and
the people who
working with them.
4- The researching questions:
How dodo language and grammar affect
communication among learners and people?
How
we make education organizations perform well
and learning outcomes high
through using language
as a means of communication in life?
5-The problem solutions
Employers
and employees must learn academically
and practice actually the roles
played by leadership,
organizational culture, motivation and commitment.
6-Objectives:
This study enables you to:
1-Use the words, grammar constructions and texts
in communication
2-know that Language has influence on actions and
exchanges of information.
3-deepen your knowledge of everything
from how
language interacts with culture and media to how
language
changes over time and how language
enhances cognitive abilities.
2-Materials and Methods
In order to find out the answer to the research question
and to fulfill
both purposes of the research, we have
conducted a qualitative
research. We used types of
qualitative research methods like an in-depth interview,
analysis and case study research that are usually used.
This has been done by interviewing twenty schools
managers and
20 educational leaders or administers
beside 50 teachers and senior
teachers working at
schools and education zones and supervision.
We have
tried to talk to representatives of different
layers of the
organizations to make our research more
diversificated and complete.
These semi-structured
interviews resulted in qualitative data, which had
been processed and analyzed using coding technique.
Our research used 2 methods:
One of academic character, and one
of practical
character.
1-The academic purpose is in investigating
relationship
between organizational structure, leadership, and
communication and organizational performance, i.e.
efficiency and
productivity.
2-The practical purpose is in giving analysis-based
recommendations about possible ways to increase
productivity and
efficiency to our educational
organizations.
3-We used interviews, lectures, debates, experiencing,
observations, analysis, synthesis, assessment,
feedback and evaluation.
4-We
held workshops, modeling, training units authentic
field practice in
actual fields and we assessed, followed
and evaluated what we
recommended academically
before. It took 3 months to conduct our
experiences
that we acquired from our professors in East Anglia
University, England.
4-Local / Regional/National/International:
To
maintain coordination among various stages of
governance and various
agencies, communication
is a must. Various international treaties,
pacts,
understandings are only possible through
communication.
Process of communication:
Communication
is an interactive process.
The two communication agents involved in
the
communication process are the sender(s)
and the receiver(r).
Finding result 3:
Factors that influence
Communication:
1-Sender & receiver.
2-Code.
3-Channel: a) Auditory channel. b) Visual channel.
4-Topic: The topic is the idea converted into a
message.
The topic should suit both the sender and receiver.
5-Message:In
verbal communication It can be
words/group of words or sentences/group
of
sentences.In non-verbal communication the message
becomes signal sent
by means of signs, symbols,
gestures, postures etc.
6-Context: It
is the setting in which the
communication
takes place. The context is
dependent on factors like
time of communication, place, sender/receiver,
channel, code and topic etc.
7-Feedback.
8-Noise: Any interference in the message sent and
the message received leads to the production of
‘noise’.
8-Barriers:
1-Physical barriers and emotional barriers. Physical
barriers include medium, crowd, physical object,
distance, noise etc.
2-Emotional barriers include intra personal behavior,
inter personal behavior, categorical thinking, wrong
assumptions etc.
9-Filters:
E.g. Social status, skill, orthodox thinking, content,
culture, gender etc.
Finding result 4:
The importance of audience and
purpose
Audience:
Before
one begins the process of communication
one must ask few questions to
oneself.
‘Why am I communicating?’,
‘With whom I am going to
communicate?’
Purpose:
Communication is instrumental or directly satisfies
certain needs like physical, emotional, social,
psychological etc...
1-To inform. 2-To entertain.
3-To regulate. 4-To instruct.
5-To influence. 6-To motivate.
7-To persuade. 8-To inquire.
5-Discussion
The purpose of the discussion is to interpret and
describe the significance of our findings in light
of what was already known about the research
problem being investigated and to explain any
new understanding or insights that emerged as
a result of our study of the problem.
DISCUSSION provides the explanation and
interpretation of results or findings by comparing
with the findings in prior studies. Then, I can say
that: comparted to the previous study about
(Language and Communication Research),
I say that my research is different .
Formal and Informal:
1-Formal communication
It
is otherwise known as official communication.
In case of formal
communication we use formal
language. Formal communication is used for
serious purposes. E.g. Debate, discussions,
lectures, interview,
seminars, speech,
Group work, meetings, presentations,
public speaking,
press briefing etc.
2-Informal communication
It includes
all the communication that we do
either in a professional set up or in
social set up
without any serious purpose attached to it.
E.g. casual greetings or private conversations,
chatting, gossiping etc.
Secondary Finding result 2:
Merits of Oral Communication:
i) Saves time
ii) Economical
iii) Powerful method of persuasion and control
iv) Professional Advantage (Marketing, presentation
etc.)
v) Tone, pitch can convey the seriousness of the
message.
vi) Immediate feedback is possible.
vii) Develops rapport and helps in making friends.
viii) Instrumental in public relations.
ix) Group communication is possible.
Drawbacks of Oral Communication:
i) Distance can be problem in communication.
ii) In case of lengthy message it becomes boring and difficult.
iii) Long retention of the message is difficult.
iv) No legal validity.
v) Feedback is sometimes biased and creates
misunderstanding.
vi) Barriers and filters create a lot of problem in the process
Communication skills are another crucial skill as a part of four-
core
skill you can develop in the 21st century. Communication
skills are
thinking skills, writing skills, creative skills, design
skills,
technological skills, and also emotional skills and
leadership skills.
We are communicating in our new world with words, pictures,
visuals. It
is a known fact that communication is an exchange
of ideas to express
feelings. Relationships can be raised and
improved with the exchange of
ideas and feelings. This skill is
required to increase profit in any
company. The success lies in
how well one can communicate amongst
different personalities
and how to eliminate confusion.
Conversations,
debates, and discussions are valued highly to
articulate effectively
concepts and ideas in the workplace.
Good communication skills will help
to negotiate, discuss and
write clearly and precisely. This is a step
towards career growth
to be a part of a team or department or clients.
Lack of
communication skills will risk career and it is a pivotal skill.
6-Limitations
“The empirical results reported herein should be
considered in the light of some limitations.”
Here are these limitations:
1-Time constraints
Just as researchers have deadlines to turn in
their
class papers, academic researchers also must meet
the deadline for submitting a research manuscript
to a journal. Therefore, the time available to study
a research problem and to measure change over
time is
constrained by the deadline of my
“assignment.”
I should have Made sure I choose a
research
problem that I will be able to complete well before
the
assignment’s deadline. If time constraints
negatively impacted my
study in any way,
acknowledge this impact by mentioning a need for
a future study (e.g., a longitudinal study) to answer
this research problem.
2-Conflicts arising from cultural bias
and
other personal issues
Researchers might be biased views due to their
cultural backgrounds or perspectives of certain
phenomena, and this can affect a study’s legitimacy.
Also, it is possible that researchers will have biases
toward data and results that only support their
hypotheses or arguments.
In order to avoid these problems, the
author(s)
of a study should examine whether the way the
problem was stated and the data-gathering
process were carried out appropriately.
I found a difficulty , but I did it .
3-More study:
subject of my
research is of a national importance
to my great country. Leading a
multicultural team is
very important.
7-Conclusion
In conclusion, I provide a
brief conclusion that ties each
of the findings together and provides a
narrative bridge
to the discussion section of the your paper. We
reached
to the objectives we set before and the vision we
dreamed of
through implementing our mission,
goals and objectives.
Through
conclusion, I give my recommendations.
All people at any organization should know and
practice their work
according to the organization
principles, values, vision, mission, goals
and
objectives. All people became loyal to their
organization in terms
of communication,
responsibility, tolerance, understanding,
good
relation, teamwork, love, respect,
the ideal atmosphere that paved the
way to
creation and innovation.
Also, the leaders worked in terms of
communication,
sharing, mercy rewards, listening to complaints and
speaking, justice, responsibility, equality, solving
problems,
Democracy, commercial awareness and
technical skills.
