How can you use verbal and nonverbal communication effectively in a multicultural world?

Be aware of cultural differences: Various cultures can be unique in their means of communicating - some
can be assumed to be clear and frank ones while others are rather inconspicuous. To ensure that you do
not offend anybody by using wrong signals stick to the culture of the people whom you are
communicating with.
Be respectful: Skill of tolerance should be used whereby one learns to accept other people’s cultural
practices without prejudice. One should be ready to change his tone of communication according to the
other person with whom he has to communicate.
Use clear and simple language: Do not use instruments or phrases that a person with different cultural
background will not be able to understand. This should simplify the communication on the right
message without the inclusion of complicated elaborate sentences.
Pay attention to nonverbal cues: This means that even actions and signs like; natural gestures, position
of the body, facial expressions and signs, may differ considerably from one culture to another. Learn to
pick these signs so as to facilitate interpretation of the contents of the heart of another person.
Practice active listening: Nonverbal communication: Try to pay attention to the other person as you talk
to him or her. Do ask questions whenever you do not understand something which has been said, head
be bobbing ‘Yes’ and keep on looking straight at the person who is speaking.
Be patient: While communicating with people of other cultures, they use more time and probably more
energy to communicate as per the norms and practices of the two cultures in communication. Take your
time for both to have proper communication so that there is understanding on both ends.
Seek feedback: Share and seek for feedback regarding communication by assessing how you
communicate. Prepared to receiving sometimes, unconstructive criticisms, and willing to make some
changes depending on the circumstances.
COMMUNICATION PRPOCESS

Communication process occurs where people exchange information, ideas and thought through formal
or informal means. An example of the communication process is the communication that starts with the
sender who, in turn, encodes a message that will be sent to a receiver. Depending on the relationship
between the sender and the receiver and the type of message, the sender uses a particular channel
which may be verbal language, written text or non-verbal signals. The receiver interprets the message to
comprehend its meaning and feeds back to the sender to show that he or she has understood the
message. Signaling and interpretation involves developing and understanding the common code that
has to be used by both parties to the communication process.

Writing is one of the conventional modes of communication that enable the transfer of information
from one person to another. This includes the conveying of messages as well as information through the
use of either spoken or written words. Whereas, nonverbals include the use of intonations and tones in
voices, use of gestures, facial expressions and body postures to depict feelings and sentiments. This is
because it is often said that mannerisms and gestures that may accompany spoken words add more to
understanding the intended message as compared to the actual words said. Verbal and nonverbal
communication are used interchangeably to pass messages and to ensure that the passing messages are
understood and rightly interpreted.

Thus, feedback is another crucial aspect of the communication process since it provides an opportunity
to enhance and confirm the content of the information. Feed back can be oral and written and is useful
in making sure that the message content as well as the interpretation of the messages by the receiver
are correct. It affords the sender the chance to get a feedback or reaction from the receiver so as to
make some necessary modifications with regard to properly conveying messages. This feedback may be
in form of affirmation, praise or advice given to enhance the patterns of communication in two people.
In general, communication process is cyclic and continuous meaning that both the communicating
parties have to contribute their time and energy to facilitate clarification of communicated message.
