Why Work on Conversation Skills?
Effective conversation skills are essential for building relationships, succeeding in school, and navigating social situations. For some learners, developing these skills can be particularly challenging.
Skills Your Learner Will Build
Use this workbook to help your learner develop a reusable method to prepare for any conversation:
Your learner will build skills to:
Consider their own conversation goal:
For example, to ask about a library book.
Consider the goals of their conversation partner:
For example, the librarian might need to answer questions quickly because there is a lineup.
Consider the social expectations of the conversation.
For example, do I get directly to the point, or do I start with social greetings?
Start and finish conversations to meet everyone’s goals.
For example, finishing a coffee shop order is different from finishing a conversation with a friend.
Repair conversation problems:
For example, the wrong order was heard.
Be aware of signals for conversation readiness, etc.
For example, the barista hasn’t looked at you or greeted you yet. Should you start saying your order?
