Topic Control

Topic control is a communicative strategy used to maintain focus on a single topic throughout a conversation without unnecessary interruptions or shifts, ensuring the discussion makes sense. While this allows one person to guide the conversation, it does not give others a chance to contribute or help direct the discussion. Topic control involves sticking to the predetermined subject and preventing the conversation from diverting to other unrelated matters.
