Chapter 8: Asking for Clarification Strategies for Minimizing Misunderstandings

Last Week We looked at checking comprehension. We looked at 2 strategies that we can use to make sure our partners have understood us.

Today We are going to look at asking for clarification.

What is clarification? Clarification is making sure you understand everything you were told. It means ‘making things clear.’ It is an important skill for good communication.

Steps for Clarification Here are the basic steps for clarification: Step 1: Interrupt Step 2: Indicate Your Problem Step 3: Indicate how your partner can clear up the miscommunication.

Strategy 1: Interrupting For a quick clarification try using the following: I’m sorry. Excuse me. Hang on a minute*. Just a minute. Wait a minute.

For a lengthier clarification you can try these expressions: Can I stop you for a minute? Can I interrupt you for a minute? Do you mind if I interrupt you for a second?

Strategy 2: Indicating Your Problem If you don’t understand. . . I don’t follow you. I don’t understand. I don’t get it. It’s not clear to me. I’m not clear. You lost me.

If you didn’t hear. I didn’t catch that If you didn’t hear . . . I didn’t catch that. I didn’t hear you I didn’t hear what you said. I missed that.

Indicate how your partner can clear up the miscommunication Strategy 3a: Asking for Complete Clarification Can you repeat that? Can you say that again? Can you explain that again? Can you rephrase that? Come again?

Or just partial clarification. from the beginning Or just partial clarification . . . . . . from the beginning . . . from the part where/ when . . . just the first part . . . just the last part . . . just the part when

Strategy 3b: Clarifying Details You can clarify details by asking questions . . . What did he do? Where did he go? When did he leave? Why did he do that? Who did he talk to?

Or by restating what your students have said, placing a question in the part that is not understood. He did what? He went where? He left when? He did it because why? He talked to who?

In class this week, we are going to do two clarification activities. (1) Write about your summer vacation. (2) Solve the mystery of Mrs. Shapiro.

Activity 1: Your Vacation (1) write a paragraph on our summer vacation (2) ‘garble’ parts of it (3) tell it to our partners (4) partners will ask for clarification

Activity 2: The Mystery of Mrs. Shapiro (1) Students are given a clue to memorize. (2) Students share a garbled version of their clue. (3) Partners ask for clarification. (4) Students share the correct version of their clue. (5) After hearing most of the clues, students go back to their groups and construct a theory to explain the clues.
