Elaborated code              

Explanation:

Kellyn realizes that when she communicates with Ji, an international student from South Korea, she may need to be sure that that her messages are more explicit, but they should not be condescending. Kellyn should use elaborated code to accomplish this goal.

Elaborated code in communication is usually used in formal verbal interactions and in conditions where the listener does not share a common understanding and assumptions on the topic being discussed. The use of elaborated code makes the discussion clearer and detailed to someone who is not familiar with the topic and hence the listener does not need to read in between the lines to understand what is being communicated.

When Kellyn employs the use of elaborated codes, Ji will not take any of her statements as demeaning because Ji will be able to completely understand what is being said without the chance of reading under meanings to their discussions
