Unit 1 – D1 Evaluate Interpersonal and Written Communications Techniques

The Unit 1 – D1 Task asks you to ‘Evaluate interpersonal and written communications techniques’

The specification says: For D1, learners must evaluate interpersonal and written communication techniques they have used in this or other units. Essentially, this is an evaluation of all the unit’s pass and merit criteria, and the learner should be able to use it to provide strong insight into the ideas it covers. The ideal evidence here is a brief report.

Interpersonal skills: methods eg verbal exchanges, signing, lip reading; techniques and cues eg body language, use of intonation; positive language; negative language; active engagement eg nodding, summarising, paraphrasing; barriers eg background noise, distractions, lack of concentration; types of question eg open, closed, probing; speed of response

Communicate in writing: guidelines; ‘smileys’ or emoticons, key messages eg letter, fax, email; grammar; spelling; structure; identifying relevance; proofreading; alternative viewpoints; note taking; capitalisation


(‘Evaluate’ means identifying strong and weak points and making a judgement on how successful or effective it is at the end)
