Class Room Communication

COMMUNICATION is from Latin commnicre, meaning "to share" is to perform the act of
communication. It is thus a process by which message is allocated and expressed in an attempt to
produce mutual understanding.
Teaching involves communication between intellectual conversant and active listener. Effective
communication depends on how the information is presented and on its content. All forms of classroom
discussion in amalgamation should be suitable for particular announcement and communications.
Teachers and students communicate in different numerous overlapping ways. Communications may
often be expressed in words but not necessarily and not completely. They may be planned into
instructions, problem solving strategies, group brain storming, or group assignments. They have a
tendency to be articulated in particular language chronicle like educator and scholar discussion. All
things considered, communication obviously serves a wide range of teaching and learning tasks and
activities, from stimulating students thinking, to coordinate classroom routines, to administration and
supervision of behaviors as well. It is a fundamental part of the parts of teaching that involve interaction
among class members.
Strong communiqu is important in the management of classroom. Verbal and non-verbal
communication skills effectively show students what appropriate classroom behavior means.
Classroom communication exists in three categories:
Verbal communication
Nonverbal communication
Written communication
Teachers and students interact with one another in many different contexts, and use all three of these
types of communication
Verbal communication means anything that a teacher speaks aloud. Nonverbal communication refers
to body language that people express. For example, if a teacher asks a student to " read para no1 of
page 6 aloud" this is a direct form of verbal communication.
Verbal communication is able to correct the mistake and correct it. When a student is performing an
action incorrectly and the teacher show him the correct way towards solution. Feedback is the ability of
a teacher to give their verbal opinion and improve student.

Nonverbal communication refers to body language that people express or the process of conveying
meaning in the form of non-word messages.
Examples of nonverbal communication are

Gestures
Body language
Facial expression
Eye contact
How one dress.

Subconsciously student is idealizing his teacher and they establish mutual trust. Teachers should use
positive body language. For example, frequently crossing your arms can make students self-protective
and make it look as if you're closing yourself off to communication. Student should be encouraged by
clapping. Teacher should smile to approve their good deeds. Greet students by "Good Morning" and
"Good Bye" in the end of lass or day daily. It is a good technique to start a day and also helps students
to learn courteous behavior. Greet students by name which inspires students in the classroom.
Some of the attributes of nonverbal communication in humans are to complement and illustrate, to
strengthen and accentuate, to replace and surrogate, to be in command of and take control, and to
challenge the denotative message.
Written communication is inscription intended for particular spectators. For instance progress report
comments or student assignments. An educator should make his students to demonstrate their
knowledge through written tests. Written tests are familiar to students, who undergo a series of
standardized tests from primary, secondary, higher secondary to university level.
Daily diary is another good way to communicate daily tasks with students. It is a dialogue between a
student and teacher. It doesn't only have to be about the learning process, but can be about almost
anything that the learner would like to know or discuss. The most important thing is that it is real
communication and response to the student in an 'authentic' way within this dialogue. This means that
to share genuine thoughts and opinions with the student rather than simply correcting their grammar
and spelling.
Each of these structures influences how communication among teachers and students tends to occur.
In fact each is itself sort of an implied message about how, when, and with whom to communicate.
Teaching consists of more than interaction among class members. There are times when teachers

prepare lessons or activities, for example, without talking to students or anyone else. There are also
times when they develop their own skills as teachers as by reading and reflecting, or by attending
professional development seminars or workshops. When communication is effective, both the student
and the teacher benefit. Communication makes learning easier, helps students achieve goals,
increases opportunities for expanded learning, strengthens the connection between student and
teacher, and creates an overall positive experience.
