The importanceof communication skills cannot be underestimated, especiallyso, in the teaching - learning process. Teaching is generally considered as only fifty percent knowledge and fifty percent interpersonal or communication skills. For a teacher, it is not just importantto give a lecture rich in content that providesabundant information about the subject or topic in question, but a successful teacher develops an affinity with, an understanding of, and a harmonious interrelationship with her pupils. Buildingrapport becomes her primary task in the classroom. But what exactly is rapport? Rapport is a sympathetic relationship or understanding that allows you to look at the world from someone else's perspective. Making other people feel that you understand themcreates a strong bond. Building rapport is the first step to better communication - primary goal of all true educators.Communication skills for teachers are thus as important as their in-depth knowledge of the particular subject which they teach. To a surprisingdegree how one communicates determines one's effectiveness as teacher. A study on communication styles suggests that 7% of communication takes place through words, 38% through voice intonation and 55% through body language.
Much of teaching isabout sending and receiving messages. The process of communication is composed of three elements: the source (sender, speaker,transmitter or instructor), the symbols used in composing and transmitting of the message (words or signs), and the receiver (listener,reader or student). The three elements are dynamically interrelated since each element is dependent on the others for effective communication to take place. Effective communication is all about conveying your message to the other people clearly and unambiguously.It's also about receiving information the others are sending to you, with as little distortion as possible. Doing this involves effort from both the sender and the receiver. And it's a process that can be fraught with error, with messages muddledby the sender, or misinterpreted by the recipient. When this isn't detected it can cause tremendous confusion, wasted effort and missed opportunity.
Good communication skills are a prerequisite for those in teaching profession.Carefully planned andskillfully delivered message can issue invitations to students that school is a place to share ideas, investigate and collaborate with others.Effective communication is essential for a well-run classroom. A teacher who is able to communicate well with studentscan inspire them to learn and participate in class and encourage them to come forth with their views, thus creating a proper rapport.Although this sounds simple obvious, it requires much more than a teacher saying something out loud to a student.They must also realize that all students have different levels of strengths and weaknesses.
