Communication Modalities

People with complex communication needs often rely on a system of augmentative and alternative communication strategies. The Multimodal Communication Program (MCP) was developed for people with aphasia, but was also explored with people with traumatic brain injury. MCP aims to increase breakdown resolution via integrated instruction in multiple communication modalities. Although implementation and results vary across studies, factors such as cognitive impairments warrant further investigation and potential modifications. The purpose of this article was to review the effect of cognitive impairments during implementation of MCP relative to cognitive impairments. Recommendations and considerations for the clinicians are provided.

Aims and ObjectivesThis study was designed to assess whether bilingual caregivers, compared to monolingual caregivers, modify their nonverbal gestures to match the increased communicative and/or cognitive-linguistic demands of bilingual language contexts - as would be predicted based on the Facilitative Strategy Hypothesis.MethodologyWe recorded the rate of representational and beat gestures in monolingual and bilingual caregivers when they retold a cartoon story to their child or to an adult, in a monolingual and a bilingual context (‘synonym’ context for monolingual caregivers).Data and AnalysisWe calculated the frequency of all gestures, representational gestures, and beat gestures for each addressee (adult-directed vs. toddler-directed) and linguistic context (monolingual vs. bilingual/synonym), separately for the monolingual and the bilingual caregivers. Using ANOVA, we contrasted monolingual vs. bilingual caregivers’ gesture frequency for each gesture type separately - based on addressee and linguistic context. Findings/ConclusionsBilingual caregivers gesture more than monolingual caregivers, irrespective of addressee and language context. Furthermore, we found evidence in support of the Facilitative Strategy hypothesis across both monolingual and bilingual caregivers, as all caregivers increased the rate of their representational gestures in the child-directed re-telling. However, we found no clear patterns showing that bilingual caregivers, compared to monolingual caregivers, adjust their gestures when the communication demands from their child’s perspective are presumably high (i.e., the child is listening to a story in two languages). In summary, both monolingual and bilingual caregivers similarly adjust their gestures to aid their child’s comprehension, and bilinguals generally gesture more than monolinguals.OriginalityTo our knowledge, this is the first study of gesture use in child-directed communication in monolingual and bilingual caregivers.Significance/ImplicationsIndependent of their monolingual or bilingual status, caregivers adjust their child-directed multimodal communication strategies (specifically gestures) when interacting with their children.

In the present article an overview of the scientific study carried out by Tartu University’s Department of Estonian as a Foreign Language is given. We observe more closely the part of the department’s research which is performed in co-operation with MUSU group, including the collaboration with Institute of Germanic, Romance and Slavonic Languages and Literatures. These activities are supported by the Estonian Science Foundation (ETF) grant project. It is also important to mention the co-operation with the Nordic Universities in the framework of PlaceME project. The research topics of the doctoral students are implementing different methods of discourse studies for analysing the multimodal communication, communicative competences and communication strategies in the process of language learning and usage.

Attitudes And Behavior

This research applies the binding communication model to the sustainable communication strategies implemented in most hotels. The binding communication model links a persuasive message with the implementation of a low-cost commitment to strengthen the link between the attitudes and behavior of those receiving the message. We compared the effectiveness of a classical communication strategy (n = 86) with that of a binding communication strategy (n = 101) to encourage guests to choose sustainable behavior. Our results show that using the binding communication strategy generates significantly more sustainable behavior in guests than using the classical communication strategy. We discuss our results and suggest future avenues of research.

Shift Change

Clinical handover – the transfer between clinicians of responsibility and accountability for patients and their care (AMA 2006) – is a pivotal and high-risk communicative event in hospital practice. Studies focusing on critical incidents, mortality, risk and patient harm in hospitals have highlighted ineffective communication – including incomplete and unstructured clinical handovers – as a major contributing factor (NSW Health 2005; ACSQHC 2010). In Australia, as internationally, Health Departments and hospital management have responded by introducing standardised handover communication protocols. This paper problematises one such protocol – the ISBAR tool – and argues that the narrow understanding of communication on which such protocols are based may seriously constrain their ability to shape effective handovers. Based on analysis of audio-recorded shift-change clinical handovers between medical staff, we argue that handover communication must be conceptualised as inherently interactive and that attempts to describe, model and teach handover practice must recognise both informational and interactive communication strategies. By comparing the communicative performance of participants in authentic handover events we identify communication strategies that are more and less likely to lead to an effective handover and demonstrate the importance of focusing close up on communication to improve the quality and safety of healthcare interactions.
