STRATEGIES FOR SPOKEN INTERACTION

1. Try to use minimal responses.

2. Build up a stock of responses that you can use in different types of exchanges.

3. Some communication situations are associated with a predictable set of spoken exchanges - a script.

4. Ask for clarification in case you did not understand the meaning of your interlocutor’s speech.

5. Pay attention to intonation when speaking. It’s important to give the correct stress to words and/ or phrases you consider important to make yourself completely understood.

6. Don’t give too many details unless you think they are necessary.
