How do people from different backgrounds communicate

Explain how people from different backgrounds may use and/or interpret communication methods in different ways. Communication can be slightly different when using it with other people from different backgrounds.

English, if from a different country, or they may not understand you. This is also a barrier to communication. Other people may think that if they’re being listened to, they will express their beliefs and their opinions about life. Different people from other backgrounds may use verbal communication to express what they think, however they could also use non-verbal communication to put their point across. Parent/carer of a child may have other preferences for their child to other parents/carers. This means the practitioner will have to respect these. Communication can be used in many ways by using different methods. Children from different backgrounds can communicate by doing what they like best. Children could use body language and facial expressions to express their needs or what they want to do in the workplace. Practitioners may use gestures and body language to show the parents/carers that they are always friendly and can be relied on. People from different backgrounds can use communication by being confident, just like what Amy Tan does with her mother every now and then , she changes the way she speaks english only when she is talking to her mother.
