Discussion Question 1
Due Date: Day 2 [post to the Main forum]
Post your response to the following:
What are some important characteristics of eective written
communication? How do these qualities help in communicating
information to a receiver? Explain your answer.
Some important characteristics of eective written communication are
achieving audience recognition and audience involvement. When achieving
audience recognition you should know who your audience is, what they
know, what they do not know, the audience must understand the point, and
you must know how to communicate with multiple audiences. When
achieving audience recognition you must have knowledge of the subject
matter, know if the audience is high tech, low-tech, lay audience, multiple
audiences, de)ne terms for dierent audience levels, know diversity issues
such as biased language, multiculturalism, consider age, gender, race,
religion, sexual orientation, class, physical and mental characteristics,
language, and family issues. Audience involvement is involving your
audience into your writing and keeping them interested. Achieving audience
involvement requires that you strive for personalized tone, and reader
bene)t. These qualities help communicate to the receiver so they do not get
bored and stay involved with your writing.
If your words are scattered, if your writing about one subject, then suddenly
jump to another, or if your punctuation, and certainly spelling is incorrect,
that can cause your audience to be confused. By knowing the audience, one
could save a lot of time and confusion as well. One should be able to
correctly identify the audience and follow a proper format based on that
audience. By being structured, organized, and understanding your audience,
you could build a better relationship with them. It would also help create less
rewriting for the author.
