  • Waiting for speaker to finish thought (turn) before responding

  • Breaks in speech to allow a response

  • Response should either add, transition, or intentionally end the conversation

  • Response pauses are appropriate

  • Conversation to feel open and flowing

  • Pre-action turns

  • Pauses/silence can predict response

    1. Be mindfull of the dynamics - different group / different culture --> different rules

    2. use body language

  • speaker selects next speaker

  • matching volume and body language

  • give feedback to the speaker, at the correct times

  • back-and-forth conversation, leave space for reaction and response

  • minimal gap but no overlap

  • give the other person time to finish

  • Intonation can indicate if you're finished speaking or you have more to say

  • Active listening - being responsive

  • Body language

  • Eye contact - if you are looking all around, you dont seem interested

  • Interrogative: ask questions

  • In discussions the rules are a bit different, as you interrupt more when discussing


    Conclussion: Give space for the other person to interact as well with these factors
