Market Leader Pre-intermediate – Unit 11: Conflicts – Skills

A. Which of these are good ways of dealing with conflict in a negotiation?

  1. Avoiding eye contact.
  2. Smiling a lot.
  3. Sitting back and appearing relaxed.
  4. Stopping the discussion and coming back to it later.
  5. Saying nothing for a long time.
  6. Saying ‘I see what you mean’.
  7. Finding out why the other side is unhappy.
  8. Focusing on the issues, not on personalities.
  9. Saying something humorous.
  10. Speaking calmly and slowly.

Đáp án:

1 There is more eye contact in some cultures than others. Where there is little eye contact to begin with, there may be even less when there is conflict, but it’s hard to imagine a situation where no eye contact at all would help. At the other end of the scale, staring at one’s counterpart across the table wouldn’t be helpful either.

2 Some places may consider this conciliatory, others provocative. If in doubt, don’t smile too much.

3 Again, this may be considered provocative. Discuss with your students if it is possible to have a facial expression and body language that are ‘neutral’ in all cultures.

4 It depends – if the conflict is about a major issue, there might be no point in discussing anything else until it is resolved.

5 In some cultures, silence is a sign of respect, a sign that you are thinking carefully about what has been said. But there must always be a point at which it becomes uncomfortable.

6 Some cultures might find this strange- the implied idea being that, if you saw what the other person meant, you wouldn’t be in conflict with them. Tell students not to use this expression too often.

7 Information gathering is always useful, but persistent questioning about points that have already been covered and that are perfectly clear will cause irritation and may cause further conflict.

8 Easier said than done. A good idea in principle, but ideas are often inextricably bound up with the person expressing them.

9 Humour is appropriate in some cultures and not in others. It could help to defuse a situation of conflict in some places, but in others it might aggravate it.

10 Good idea, but don’t overdo it. It could sound patronising
