How do our language and cultural backgrounds affect the ways we think about communication? What strategies can we use to communicate clearly in academic and professional settings? In this interactive session, we will explore cultural components of communication and then practice specific strategies to speak clearly and confidently, to listen effectively, and to handle unexpected questions. This session is designed for those who speak English as an additional language but is useful for anyone interested in strengthening their communication skills. Stay after the session for a broader workshop on public speaking and engaged communication.
This workshop is being offered as part of Winter Teaching Week and is designed for GSAS PhD students and others at similar career stages engaged in the teaching of Harvard College undergraduates. Pre-registration is required.
