Communication Dynamics
Bowling Style Conversation
Sadly, the 'Bowling' Style communication pattern is how many students speak English, even after studying English for a long time. When A asks B a question, B answers then stops. B expects A to continue asking questions. A often does. Then after A has asked all their questions on B's topic, B will begin asking questions about A's topic.
This style of communication is one sided and not really interactive, and it is not the normal style of conversation or communication that native English speakers use. It does happen, but not all the time. This style can be been seen in some situations, for example when a police officer is talking to a speeding driver:
Police Officer: "How fast were you going?”
Speeding Driver:?"I don't know.”
Police Officer:“Show me your license. What's your name?”
Speeding Driver:?"Bob Johnson.”
Police Officer:“What's your address?”
Speeding Driver:“ 21 Maple Street”
This kind of conversation style isn't very interactive and it is not the normal style of conversation between native English speakers. Yet, many ESL lessons teach this style or they teach a few sentences that students are expected to memorize and use in certain situations- this is called the Communicative Language Approach or English For Special Purposes (ESP). Students when taking tests with listening sections, or when talking to other English speakers often have trouble in a normal conversation, because normal conversations are more interactive. Let's take a look at what a more usual English conversation looks like, the‘Tennis’style conversation.
Tennis Style Conversations
'Tennis Style' conversations are often the more natural type of conversation that English speakers use. And this is the kind of conversation style that students are able to develop with the CoreComm Learning System.
In the 'Tennis' style conversation, A asks B a question about A's topic. B answers the question, then B asks A a question on B's topic. This continues and often, both topics are talked about at the same time. This kind of conversation is found on many English tests (i.e. TOEIC™ or TOEFL™). And many students have trouble listening to this kind of question, they also have trouble listening and talking in conversations with native English speakers.
Also, speakers may ask each other more than one question at the same time. So, normal conversations are a mixture of the 'Tennis' and 'Bowling' styles. This is one of the important core communication skills that students build with the CoreComm Learning System. The ability to use natural conversation styles, to be able to listen to and talk to Anybody, Anywhere, Anytime in Multiple Topic Environments (MTE).

CoreComm Learning System: Success Stories
Tanaka-san, an employee at a Japanese IT company, initially
struggled with English communication, impacting his TOEIC™ score and career
progression. Tanaka-san enrolled in the CoreComm course to address his
English language challenges.
The CoreComm course effectively addressed Tanaka-san's
English language barriers, transforming his approach to English communication
and opening new career opportunities in the IT sector.
I Don't Like English
On the first day of the class, Tanaka-san sat at the table with his arms crossed a sharp frown.He was asked, “Is communicating in English difficult?” “Yes, I don’t like it”. He was asked “Why?” The student said English vocabulary was difficult to remember, grammar was difficult and he couldn’t think in English, translating all the time was too troublesome! In addition, because of this, he couldn’t communicate well, he couldn’t improve his TOEIC™ score and so his career had stopped.He then took the CoreComm course and his situation changed.Results
On the last day, at the end of class, Tanaka-san came up to say good-bye to the trainer. He then shook the trainer’s hand, and would not stop shaking his hand. Tanaka-san said “Thank you, thank you so much. Last night, I experienced Japanese like a foreign language. I walked through my office, but I couldn’t understand my colleagues speaking Japanese. For the first time, I actually started thinking in English. Japanese was a foreign language to me- I've never experienced that before. Thank you."
Now I Can Think In English
"My whole life, my Japanese English teachers and my foreign English teachers said the same thing ‘Think in English, think in English’. But I didn’t know how. But now, I can do, I can think in English. Thank you” The trainer saw tears in Tanaka-san’s eyes. Tears of joy and confidence.He said that he could now think directly in English. This made using English much easier for him. He also said the he now had the communication skills to talk to others more confidently and that he could re-start his career.
