Communication Within and Without Faculty
Got this David Foster Wallace quote from Dy/Dan’s latest post.
“Maybe being able to communicate with people outside one’s area of expertise should be taught, and talked about, and considered as a requirement for genuine expertise.”
My experience is opposite. As an English teacher, I’m consistently surprised by how inarticulate I am when discussing teaching with colleagues. It’s just difficult to express myself without resorting to ambiguous slang.
Tips?
