Excellent!

Successful communication requires an understanding

of the relationship between words and sentences and
the speech acts they represent.
However, a conversation may be complex at times;
Yes, Sir.
that is why some people get lost along the way and
misunderstand each other.
Do you agree class?

Cohen (1990) states the strategies must be used to start

and maintain a conversation. Knowing and applying
grammar appropriately is one of the most basic
strategies to maintain a conversation.
The following are some strategies that people use
when communicating.

Nomination
- A speaker carried out a nomination to

 topic. When you employ this strategy, you
try to open a topic with the people you are
talking to.

Turn-taking
- Turn-taking pertains to the process by
Please read. which people decide who takes the
conversational floor.

Sometimes people are given unequal opportunities to

talk because others take much time during the
conversation. But the primary idea is to give all
communicators a chance to speak.

Topic Shifting
- Topic shifting, as the name suggests,
Please read
involves moving from one topic to another.

In other words, it is where one part of a conversation

ends and where another begins.
Make sure that the previous topic was nurtured
enough to generate adequate views.
Repair
Please read
- Repair refers to how speakers address the
problems in speaking, listening, and
comprehending that they may encounter in a
conversation.
For example, if everybody in the conversation seems
to talk at the same time, give way, and appreciate
other’s initiative to set the conversation back to its
topic.

What is the importance of these communicative

strategies to us?
