Some people worry about participating in social settings because
they lack confidence in their conversation skills. They may dread
an evening at the pub or even just a chat with one friend, for fear
of saying the wrong thing, not being able to think of anything to
talk about, or whether they will find themselves feeling generally
embarrassed about their conversational technique. This book offers
a structure to help with the skills needed for initiating,
maintaining, and ending conversations. It looks at casual chat and
formal talk with one person face-to-face and on the phone, as well
as how to converse in a group. There are over 30 chapters, each
dealing with an aspect of conversation such as Greetings How to
remember names Being topical, Using humour Reminiscing Repairing
conversational gaffs, Escaping! The Conversational Menu Each topic
is considered and discussed; exercises are suggested; "homework" is
given on credit-card-sized cards, and then the Checklist is filled
in, so that learning is secure. This is a complete course on
conversation skills. designed for people over 16, either to work
with the Speech and Language Therapist, or for some, to work on
their own. Alison Roberts is a Speech and Language Therapist whose
work has chiefly focused for the last 20 years on the communication
needs of 11-25 year-olds with a wide variety of intriguing
differences in ability. She works with several brilliant therapists
who together form a team called Good Communication. Alison lectures
to SLT students and to Careers Advisers and has written several
sets of cards and books which have been published by Speechmark
Publishing. She is also an enthusiastic craftswoman with an endless
need and desire to devise her own SLT games, which gave rise to the
original series of articles in the Speech and Language Therapy in
Practice magazine.
