Language and Communication Research

Online since : 2018

Affiliation:

The Ministry of Education in Egypt.

Drawing upon findings from a funded study of an academic leadership in Egypt (Ministry of Education) and provided by (full) professors, this research focuses on leadership as perceived by those on the receiving end of it.

My research is supervised by my senior and public supervisors of education in Egypt. Research on(Language and communication) is defined as the influence of one or more people on the research-related, behavior attitudes or intellectual capacity of others.

Seven specific features or keywords of my professorial research about leadership are identified and examined. They are the conflicts of interest in my research.

They include:

(Communication, Intercultural Communication skills, Application of Communication, Steps of Communication, Factors, Importance of audience, Verbal and Non-verbal communication)).

Abstract

Language and communication

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-Introduction

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.

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.

Our overall goal is to understand how language is actually used,

when it is used effectively, and why.

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, focus groups, ethnographic research, content

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.

3- Main Findings / Results

Language and communication Research

Findings and results:

We wrote a report that included our data, solutions and recommendations we presented.

Our teachers, senior teachers, schools managers and education organizations leaders learnt the following key findings and secondary findings we presented.

I will Present a result and then explain it, before presenting the next result then explaining it, and so on, then end with an overall synopsis. This is the preferred approach as I have multiple results of equal significance. It is more common in longer papers because it helps the reader to better understand each finding.

Finding result 1:

Intercultural Communication Skills

Intercultural communication skills are those required to communicate, or share information, with people from other cultures and social groups.

While language skills may be an important part of intercultural communication, they are by no means the only requirement.

Intercultural communication also requires an understanding that different cultures have different customs, standards, social mores, and even thought patterns. Good intercultural communication skills requires a willingness to accept differences these and adapt to them

Finding result 1:

Tools of Communication:

1- Language. 2-Script: 3-Drawing / Painting/Sculpture.

4-Visual art. 5-Body. 6-Silence. 7-Dress/costume.

8-Surrounding / Environment.

Finding result 2:

Applications of communication

1-Interpersonal:

Communication helps us in maintaining proper inter-personal relationships. Interpersonal skills are a must in this competitive professional world. This deals with handling people and problems at various situations. This includes understanding, listening, empathizing, convincing, persuading, negotiating, motivating, driving etc.

2-Mass Communication:

We live in a society, we want to convey many important ideas, events, incidents, developments etc. to the world. Mass communication helps us in reaching the maximum at the push of one button. Newspaper, journal, magazines, Internet, Advertisement, T.V. Channels etc.

3-Organizational (intra / inter):

An organization whether profit based or not, cannot exist without communicating within and outside the organization. Organizations depend a lot on meetings, business presentation, discussions, deliberations, reports, interaction, client response etc.

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.

4- Results / Secondary Findings

Findings and results:

We wrote a report that included our data, solutions and recommendations we presented.

Our teachers, senior teachers, schools managers and education organizations leaders learnt the relation between education and development through the following the key findings and secondary findings we presented.

I will Present a secondary result or finding and then explain it, before presenting the next result then explaining it, and so on, then end with an overall synopsis.This is the preferred approach as I have multiple results of equal significance. It is more common in longer papers because it helps the reader to better understand each finding.

Image result for language and communication

Secondary Finding result 1:

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.

Secondary Finding result 3:

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

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 .

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:

I suggest additional studies in the future as the 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.
