9
Ways to Quit Sabotaging Good Conversations -
by Paul W. Schenk
Paul
Schenk here proposes a 9-week classroom-based pilot
project designed to teach students how to recognize and
avoid common language traps: specific words and
phrases that reliably sabotage good conversations.
Each
week, a different language trap is identified and
studied using a multimedia format. Students learn
simple, effective strategies for avoiding each language
trap and improving communication skills. The
length of the program can be adjusted as needed to
include fewer or additional language traps.
