TL - Convey technical information to different audiences

In workplace situations, the ability to explain technical information to others both orally and in writing in a clear and unambiguous way is essential. When communicating orally people with this General English Competency (GEC) take into account the purpose of the communication and the experience of the audience and use different registers and styles with ease; they may need to explain technical information to a non-technical audience, a client/customer a colleague. They use technical language correctly with explanations supported by graphics and other tools to aid understanding.
They may ask questions to test understanding and they respond to questions confidently. They present their ideas logically and coherently and use appropriate grammar and choice of vocabulary including technical terminology.
When writing they convey technical information using correct technical language and appropriate format and structure. They may support their explanations with images to aid understanding. They use correct spelling, both technical and non-technical, grammar and punctuation.
