Communication Challenge
By Matthew English
2
In this challenge, you will be tasked with how best to present and communicate ideas to a group of people with specific needs.
3
Think back to the phrases we explored in class.
"I know right"
"For real"
"Are you kidding me?"
4
Choose a suitable method to explain these phrases to a group of people with specific needs.
These could be ...
A group of elderly people with limited technological ability.
A group of young learners with a short attention span and who get distracted easily.
A group of working adults with a short amount of free time.
5
Multiple Choice
Question 1
How would you best present your phrases to a group of young learners who get distracted easily?
A reading comprehension with a lot of text with some high level vocabulary
A lecture with students sat in rows and a presenter speaking for 45 minutes
A fun video game with lots of interesting sounds when questions are answered
A board game with lots of rules
6
The fun video game is probably the best answer, as it is the option most likely to solve the problem of the students getting distracted.

Multiple Choice
Q2
Choose a good answer to present and explain your phrases to a group of elderly people with low technical ability and limited IT skills
A short video with lots of pop music and flashing images
A documentary style video with the phrases displayed in large letters
A computer survey
A mobile phone app
8
The documentary style video would be a good choice, especially as the phrases are shown in large letters. This could be paused and explained if needed.

Multiple Choice
Q3
Choose the best method of explaining your phrases to a group of busy adults with limited time
A long questionnaire with 60 questions
A board game with lots of complicated rules
A 60 minute lecture
A series of cards where the group works in pairs matching the phrase to the explanation
10
The card game is a good choice, working in pairs means that everyone is involved and active. Each pair can go as quickly or as slowly as they like.

Q4
Now imagine that you are choosing a way to explain these phrases to a group of school students who are taking an extra class. Try to avoid the students getting bored and continue with learning new phrases.
Write below how you would best achieve that task and attempt to justify your choices
12
That will be our task in the next class.
I will give you a group of people with specific needs and your task will be to decide how best to explain your phrases to that group.
Be prepared to think of interesting methods and also be ready to justify (explain) why you made your decisions.
