Intro

                         The communication class <o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>

We first want to maximize the speech capabilities, through a number of exercises to improve the inner quality of the flowing of the words related to the message.<o:p></o:p>

Those exercises will start with some reading sessions to point out different problems and to master some key elements to good reading.<o:p></o:p>

We will then proceed accordingly with the status of each individual in trying to develop his communication skills. Again through a series of exercise such as photo session, text studies, musical drills, pronunciation pattern studies, composition through improvisation.<o:p></o:p>

All those exercises will develop the communication abilities of the student, and will enable him to be a better communicator on any field he wish to operate.

                          Is Communication important ?<o:p></o:p>

 <o:p></o:p>

 <o:p></o:p>

 <o:p></o:p>

The ability to communicate is imperative for success in relationships, business, academics, and other venues. Anxiety often inhibits communication. For example, fear of public speaking is the number-one phobia. Avoidance of communication with authority figures is close behind. Selective mutism is a condition where anxiety inhibits or paralyzes verbal communication. Often misdiagnosed as a speech disorder, SM affects individuals of all ages. <o:p></o:p>

Communication is the key to social-ability and the most important social skill. It is crucial for proactive and assertive behavior. Countless individuals, with whom I have worked, have presented their problem as a conversation disability. They say “I don't know how to keep the conversation going”, “I have nothing to say”, or “what do you say after you say hello?” Their social and performance anxiety is characterized by overvaluing what they believe are errors or mistakes in communication. Often they experience visceral discomfort concurrent with embarrassment, humiliation, and fear of rejection. Many individuals have an overpowering need for perfection in the communication process. When their concept of perfection is not reached, anxiety rules! It is common for obsessive thinking to result in avoidance of the situations where communication is a challenge. The more avoidance takes place, the more communication skills are inhibited. Likewise, as an individual is dependent on others to communicate for them, the learning of communication skills will be inhibited.
