Podcasts about sentence structure

Why clarity and authenticity matter more than ever in modern communication.Clear communication in the age of likes, LLMs, and constant noise isn't about talking more. For Nick Thompson, it's about being unmistakably clear and unmistakably yourself.Thompson, CEO of The Atlantic and former editor-in-chief of Wired, has spent his career shaping stories that hold attention. “Clear beats clever,” he says, stressing that authenticity and specificity are what make messages land. “If you can get across what you're really trying to say— if you can say it honestly, specifically, and ideally briefly—that's good. And if you can say it in a way that feels like you, that's great.”Beyond journalism, Thompson is an elite marathon runner, ranking among the top competitive runners in the world, an identity that, for him, isn't separate from writing or leadership but deeply connected to it. “[Running] has taught me all kinds of habits of mind and discipline and pacing,” he says, “There are all kinds of lessons from the sport that apply to my business life.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Thompson joins host Matt Abrahams to share how great communicators craft “sticky” ideas without chasing soundbites. From practical editorial tests to the importance of editing, structure, and authenticity, Thompson offers a roadmap for communication that doesn't just get noticed but lasts.Episode Reference Links:Nick ThompsonNick's Book: The Running GroundEp.183 Rethinks: How Anxiety Can Fuel Better Communication Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (04:10) - Good Communication in the Modern Day (04:52) - Finding Your Authentic Voice (05:59) - The Power of Editing (07:43) - Reading Your Writing Out Loud (09:36) - How to Create “Sticky” Content (10:58) - AI's Role in Journalism & Communication (13:01) - Using AI in Daily Life (13:45) - Running As Meditation (17:22) - What Running Teaches About Simplicity (18:57) - The Final Three Questions (23:15) - Conclusion  ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.This episode is sponsored by Grammarly.

把礼物放在车里Bǎ lǐwù fàng zài chē lǐ Put the gift in the car. 把 (bǎ): A particle used to indicate the disposal or handling of something. 礼物 (lǐwù): Gift 放 (fàng): Put 在 (zài): In/at 车里 (chē lǐ): Inside the car 把 + Object + Verb + 在 + LocationThis sentence structure emphasizes the action being performed on the object (礼物). --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/texasmandarin/support

Pinyin: Lián miànbāo dōu chī bù liǎo. Translation: I can't even eat bread. 连 (lián): This means "even" or "including," used to emphasize that something is included in a negative statement. 面包 (miànbāo): This means "bread." 都 (dōu): This means "all" or "both," often used for emphasis. 吃 (chī): This means "to eat." 不了 (bù liǎo): This means "cannot" or "unable to." It indicates inability to do something. Pinyin: Lián jiǔbā dōu qù bù liǎo. Translation: I can't even go to the bar. 连 (lián): Again, this means "even" or "including," emphasizing that going to the bar is also impossible. 酒吧 (jiǔbā): This means "bar." 都 (dōu): This functions the same as in the first sentence, for emphasis. 去 (qù): This means "to go." 不了 (bù liǎo): This indicates inability to go somewhere. Both sentences emphasize a sense of inability, highlighting that not only can the speaker not do one thing (eating bread or going to the bar), but even that basic action is impossible. The structure "连 + noun + 都 + verb + 不了" is used to convey this meaning effectively. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/texasmandarin/support

Language and executive functioning have a bidirectional relationship (Baron & Arbel, 2022; Larson, et al., 2019). This means that building language skills can impact executive functioning, and vice versa. A significant amount of executive functioning skills are required to comprehend language-based academic tasks like reading and writing. Yet strategic thinking (which is part of executive functioning) requires a significant amount of internal dialogue; which is very difficult to engage in without adequate vocabulary or ability to use and understand complex syntax (Fahy, 2014). Complex sentences are loaded with language that indicates cause and effect or temporal information; all which are essential for strategic planning. On top of that, many students continue to struggle with reading comprehension without direct work on foundational language skills; even if they're taught comprehension strategies (Eberhardt, 2013; Scott, 2009; Scott & Koonce, 2014; Nippold, 2017).One might make the argument then (which I often do), that these underlying language skills are necessary to developing strong executive functioning skills. This makes both treatment planning, diagnosis, and determining eligibility for educational programming complicated; especially when it comes to legal guidelines as well as state and local policies. That's why in episode 166 of De Facto Leaders, I'm sharing a Q & A session I did in my Language Therapy Advance Foundations member's group to talk about the relationship between syntax, processing and higher level cognitive processes like executive functioning. In this episode, I share: ✅How to create a strategic plan if you need to build a system for language therapy and a system for executive functioning intervention?✅Should you focus on the students' needs or your own needs when planning your professional development goals?✅Common comorbidities and diagnoses to consider when focusing on language, executive functioning, and reading/writing.✅The impact of syntax on other language and cognitive processes.✅Common sentence types that are difficult for individuals with DLD and other diagnoses that impact language.✅Ineffective strategies used to comprehend difficult sentence types.✅Why do these difficult sentence types impact comprehension, processing, and our ability to engage in internal dialogue and strategic planning?In this episode, I mention Language Therapy Advance Foundations, my program that helps SLPs create a system for language therapy. You can learn more about Language Therapy Advance Foundations here: https://drkarenspeech.com/languagetherapy/I also mentioned the School of Clinical Leadership, my program that helps related service providers develop a strategic plan for putting executive functioning support in place in collaboration with their school teams.

I know when I was a classroom teacher, I didn't have the time to research and really dive into topics like I wanted to. But I get to do that now, and one of the topics I've learned so much about, and really one of my favorite topics, is syntax.

  Welcome to the Thursday edition of The Spark Creativity Teacher Podcast, a podcast for English teachers in search of creative teaching strategies. Whether you're new to the show or a long-time listener, I'm so glad you're here for this week's mini episode. Today, I want to share a fun visual trick for helping students vary their sentence structure.  I never really thought about sentence length until I was writing professionally. Sure, I knew to avoid run-on sentences, how to wield a semicolon, and what an appositive could do. But really it was when I realized I wanted to vary my sentence LENGTH in the articles I was writing for other websites that I started playing with structure more.  I wanted punchy moments. I also wanted long, detailed stories that could twist and turn through the text, capturing my reader's imagination with sensory imagery and vivid descriptions. The combination of both led to more exciting writing with more varied types of structure. It's not that I went into a line thinking “I want to use an appositive, three commas, and a semicolon here.” It's that I was trying to write a long sentence after a short sentence, so I experimented. There's an easy way to guide students to do the same thing. I call it “Shaped Stories.” Simply create a handout or slide with a photo at the top, and a big black rectangle down below. Then add white rectangles on the big black one, each a space for students' sentences going down the page, and make the white rectangles different sizes. Leave a tiny rectangle where a sentence will have to be just two or three words. Then add a wide, tall one where a sentence would have to be complex to fill it. Then try medium-size, and so on and so forth down the page. When you invite students to set a story inside the picture prompt at the top, ask them to fill each box completely with their sentences. Show them your example, and feel free to review a few types of sentence structures that might help them out.  When it comes to varied sentence structure, shaped stories are an easy (and fun) hack for helping students practice. That's why this week I want to highly recommend you take a peek at the visuals in the show notes for inspiration and then give it a try.  Go Further:  Explore alllll the Episodes of The Spark Creativity Teacher Podcast.

This episode of the Performance Initiative Podcast with Dr. Grant Cooper and Dr. Zinovy Meyler engages with expert Mark Raffan on the art of negotiation. The hosts explore the psychological aspects of negotiation, the role of perceptions, methods of persuasion, and structuring sentences to influence responses. Mark Raffan shares critical insights into maintaining a strategic approach to negotiation, focusing on understanding what constitutes a 'good deal,' and emphasizes the need for adaptability and a polite and courteous approach. External factors like decision fatigue and the setting of the negotiation are also discussed. Mark started his company Negotiations Ninja, which has brought together a team of leading experts in negotiation, persuasion, influence, and conflict resolution to ensure that it develops and delivers the most engaging training available. (00:00) Introduction(01:13) The Role of Persuasion and Influence in Negotiation(02:02) The Importance of Defining a Good Deal(02:09) The Start of a Negotiation: A Practical Example(06:24) The Importance of Planning and Strategy in Negotiation(14:51) Understanding the Role of Concessions in Negotiation(22:28) The Power of Voice and Body Language in Negotiation(35:23) The Importance of Communication Medium in Negotiation(38:04) The Power of Communication: Shaping Responses(39:19) Calibrating Your Approach: Voice, Sentence Structure, and Appearance(39:33) Adapting to Your Audience: Dressing for Success(43:20) Playing Different Characters in Negotiation(52:11) The Art of Manipulation: Using Heuristics in Negotiation(01:02:19) The Impact of Decision Fatigue in Negotiation(01:08:57) Manipulating Physical Space in Negotiation(01:13:50) The Power of Silence in Negotiation(01:16:17) Closing Remarks and Final ThoughtsMark Raffan's company - Negotiations Ninjahttps://negotiations.ninja/Performance Initiative Social & Website:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKPNCI1-HBSZmiHNAlAjiIwWebsite: https://www.performanceinitiativepodcast.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/performanceinitiativeTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@performanceinitiative

Links: Our Masterclasses on Sentence Mining & Tones Upcoming Mandarin Retreats Will's Youtube Channel -- One year ago I interviewed someone who totally transformed my perspective on learning Chinese and particularly reaching high levels in the spoken language. By now, listeners will be familiar with Will Hart, the Mandarin learning phenomenon who became incredibly fluent in Chinese within the space of just a year and a half.  Since I last interviewed Will here last year we've become friends and collaborated on a number of Mandarin learning projects. A few weeks ago he interviewed me on his YouTube channel in Chinese, which I reposted as an episode on this podcast.  I wanted to catch up with Will again to discuss what he's been up to since the last time we spoke. In this episode Will tells us about how his learning methods have evolved over time. He also shares his experiences of immersing in Chinese both in the UK as well as on his first ever trip to China last month.

Hi, friends~ I designed this course for all Chinese learners, especially beginners. My ultimate goal is to help non-native Chinese speakers become skilled, fluent, and barrier-free in their conversations with locals.  As you learn with me, lesson by lesson, I can confidently assure you that you'll attain a level of communication where you'll face no barriers and be able to speak Chinese fluently.  So, if you see yourself as a complete non-native speaker, someone who knows no words, understands no grammar, and finds Chinese challenging, don't worry! I'm here to help. I will patiently guide you through the process, explaining every detail, covering grammar, sentence structure, basic vocabulary, and tone and intonation, among other aspects.  With my support, you'll start from scratch and achieve a remarkable level of proficiency. Be confident! I believe in you.

Doing a quality evaluation when you're assessing things like language can be a challenge because there isn't one “magic bullet” test that gives us what we need.  What is even more challenging is when you get a referral to evaluate a client that speaks two or more languages; especially when they're languages you don't speak.  Unfortunately, monolingual clinicians get referrals for multilingual evaluations all the time.  That's why I invited Meg Morgan, Speech-Language Pathologist and Clinical Assistant Professor from the University of New Hampshire to episode 108 of the “De Facto Leaders” podcast to talk about multilingual evaluations. This episode will be extremely valuable to you for ALL language evaluations; even monolingual clients.  In this interview we discuss: ✅The biggest myths about bilingualism and language proficiency, and why it's not as simple as we think ✅How to prepare yourself to evaluate a client who speaks a language you don't speak ✅How to gather evidence to share with your team, even if you don't have formal test scores ✅Why doing a thorough evaluation saves you time in the long run; and how to streamline the process You can connect with Meg on LinkedIN here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/meg-morgan-039778144/ You can also watch her presentation Multilingual Evaluations by Monolingual SLPs on speechpathology.com here: https://www.speechpathology.com/slp-ceus/course/multilingual-evaluations-by-monolingual-slps-9364                                                                                       (paid membership is required to view this training) Meg mentioned the following resources in this episode: Bilinguistics - Click here to read more: https://bilinguistics.com/ The Leaders Project - Click here to read more: https://www.leadersproject.org/ SALT - Click here to read more: https://www.saltsoftware.com/ In this episode, I mentioned the Ultimate Guide to Sentence Structure, my free guide for clinicians that outlines common sentence types that support comprehension in students who are learning English or who have disabilities that impact language learning.

I'm continually learning and developing my understanding of language and executive functioning, as well as how to help teams work together to better support these skills.That's why I recently decided to audit some of the content I have floating around the internet. In truth, I have a lot out there because I like to get content into the hands of clinicians who need it as quickly as possible, which is why I do a lot of impromptu videos and run a lean operation. And since I'm human I had (and likely still do) have a lot of content out there that quite frankly isn't my best work. Plus, I've learned a lot these past few years about the research, as well as how to communicate it to a large audience.That's why for episode 93 of “De Facto Leaders” podcast, I wanted to highlight a couple topics I've discussed in the past that needed some additional clarification.I pulled a couple of topics that need continued explanation because they're complex and nuanced, and I wanted to make sure I clearly communicated my stance and understanding of them. I also pulled a couple topics where I felt previous information I released was incorrect, unclear, or misleading. Specifically, I address the following that I've discussed on previous episodes:✅Does it matter if your therapist is neurotypical vs. neurodivergent?  ✅Can you improve your attention span?✅How should clinicians handle the medication discussion with ADHD? ✅Does positive reinforcement help, or is it “forced compliance”? ✅Is there evidence that we can “improve” working memory? In this episode, I mentioned my Ultimate Guide to Sentence Structure. In this free guide I share the challenging sentence types that result in comprehension and processing difficulties; plus how we can improve these skills to support reading and writing. You can download it here. I also mentioned the School of Clinical Leadership, a program for SLPs, psychologists, social workers, and other related service providers who want to support K-12 students. The program is for you if you want to support students in the areas of language, literacy, executive functioning, mental health, behavior, and independent skills needed for academic, vocational, and social situations. If you've been working on any of these areas, but are struggling to provide the support your students need to generalize skills across the day, then come join us in the School of Clinical Leadership and learn a game plan to lead your IEP team in the right direction. You can learn more about how to become a member here.

Navigating the special education eligibility process is confusing for all parties involved (parents, professionals, etc.). That's why I wanted to get some insight from someone who understands the process inside and out. In episode 57 of Are they 18 yet?® I interviewed my colleague Jil Stauter, a school psychologist who has worked with students from preschool all the way through high school. I was fortunate enough to work on a team with her for a number of these years.In this in-depth interview, Jil and I deconstruct the process of determining if students are eligible for special education services under the label of “specific learning disability”.She also shares some essential advice for anyone who aspires to work in the school systems and be a part of the special education process.Here's a breakdown of what we cover in the interview:✅What types of data a school psychologist needs in order to determine if a student is eligible for services under the category of “specific learning disability” using the RtI process.✅What confuses people most about special education services in the schools (as it relates to learning disabilities and other diagnoses).✅What happens if a school IEP team disagrees with the recommendations of an outside evaluation.✅Plus more about the ins and outs of eligibility for services in the schools, and how special ed teams can work together. You can listen to the entire interview here. In this episode, I mention my Ultimate Guide to Sentence Structure.In order to build strong language comprehension needed for reading, writing, and other important life skills, kids need to have a solid understanding of sentence structure.In this guide, I outline common challenging sentence types, how to write goals to target them, and some evidence-based strategies for working on them.>>>You can get a free copy of the Ultimate Guide to Sentence Structure here.

In this episode, I sit down with college admissions coach Kim Duckworth from Bridge Education Center to talk about helping kids expand their options after high school.Many of my listeners are parents and professionals of K-12 kids, and many of them often wonder if they're doing the right things to prepare kids for young adulthood. That's why I thought Kim would be the perfect guest to discuss this topic, because she's helped hundreds of kids successfully get in to their "dream schools". In this interview, Kim and I discuss:✅The importance of having a plan A, plan B, and plan C when thinking about the post-high school years.✅Common options to consider post-graduation (not just college) and how to help your child decide which one is for them.✅The right and wrong way to do a "gap year" if your child is considering it. ✅The ONE habit your child can do to expand their options when it comes to life after high school-especially if they're considering college (spoiler alert: it has to do with vocabulary and books)✅Why the post-high school on-ramp starts in middle school, and what you can do at each age to help children have well-rounded high school experiences. If you have a child who is considering college as a post-high school option, you don't want to miss this interview.Kim Duckworth is the author of “Parents, Are You Ready? The Practical Guide to Launching a Successful High School Student”. She is a graduate of Stanford University, where she received her B.A. in Communications-Journalism. She was the first woman in her family to attend college. She worked in Sales and Marketing for IBM in Silicon Valley and White Plains, NY for over 10 years.
