ES2007S Professional Communication: Intercultural Communication

http://jaymieblogs.blogspot.com/2008/09/intercultural-communication.html

Wednesday, September 24, 2008. Singapore has an intercultural/inter-racial society, and racial harmony is something she prides herself on. Our social fabric is very delicate, and intercultural conflicts have to be solved with much sensitivity and tact. To communicate effectively, one has to be sensitive towards certain issues, especially those regarding culture and religion. Also, the fact that both parties could not understand each others' accent well was also a cause for the communication breakdown.

ES2007S Professional Communication: August 2008

http://jaymieblogs.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html

Friday, August 29, 2008. During the 7 months break between my A' levels and entering university, I was working part-time at an ice cream shop. My lady boss is an incredulously stingy woman who fusses over little things like us(employees) using too much serviettes or scooping too much ice cream for customers. On hindsight, maybe I should have just given him more ice cream to appease him. But does that also mean that my job is at stake when my lady boss finds out what I have done? Friday, August 22, 2008.

ES2007S Professional Communication: The Science Library should increase the number of textbooks available

http://jaymieblogs.blogspot.com/2008/09/science-library-should-increase-number.html

Saturday, September 6, 2008. The Science Library should increase the number of textbooks available. Ever had the problem of not being able to borrow a textbook from the science library, especially during test and examination periods? At times, even the RBR textbooks have long waiting lists. I had, and this problem often leaves me perturbed and stressed because I could not refer to the textbooks to clarify my doubts quickly (time is of the essence during examination periods). Overall, I find that the rese...

ES2007S Professional Communication: November 2008

http://jaymieblogs.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html

Saturday, November 15, 2008. Is it the end? I'm an outspoken girl, thus I always thought I had no problems communicating with others since I was very chatty. After taking this course, it made me reflect on how little I knew about communicating effectively, and how much I have to learn. Also, it was a great challenge to put together our written report, but it helped us put our newly acquired skills into practice, such as writing a business correspondence, and how to write in a persuasive tone.

ES2007S Professional Communication: The importance of effective communication

http://jaymieblogs.blogspot.com/2008/08/importance-of-effective-communication.html

Friday, August 22, 2008. The importance of effective communication. It is not difficult to communicate with others, but how many of us exercise effective. Honestly, I don’t think I do. Be it choice of words, speaking tone, or even body language, I often find myself falling short of communicating effectively with others in an engaging and interesting way. Developing effective communication skills are therefore important to me because not only do I see them useful in helping me communicate with my colleagu...
