• “One of the most neglected aspects of teacher training is thorough preparation in the diverse communication skills that are needed by good teachers in today's schools.”
Six Important Points: CS 4 T• Positive Motivation: create interest, enthusiasm, remove fear
and inhibition.• Effective Body Language: Gestures, body movement with
verbal skills – never sit and teach - Moving in aisles.• Sense of Humor: do not confuse dirty jokes with humour.• Understanding the Students: prefer dialogue over monologue –
listen students’ opinion- saint on the stage vs guide by the side• Team Formation: helps in mutual
understanding students as well as teachers.• Technical skills: Up-to-date with latest
techno-tools for teaching.
Be precise: Brevity is the Soul

Myth Vs RealityCommunication Myths Communication Reality
Communication is a conscious / deliberate process. (e.g. Osho’s visit to disciple, father-2 sons,)
Communication is an unconscious process and it goes on at every moment of time!
We communicate primarily through ‘words’ only. (zoo-zoos)
We communicate through ‘verbal’ as well as ‘non-verbal signs.
Words mean the same to everyone. (Pardon, women)
Meaning of the words lies more in perception of reality.
Communication is a one-sided process and it is controlled by communicator.
Communication is a two-way process and it always happens, controlled by none.
Message sent and message received are the same. (Video: Hu is . . . (video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgFHYteJSPk&index=3&list=PLSmZQVxjN9_j0Ln3e5i6L-NDzEpHGNP7W
Transmission and reception of message can never be identical.
Penny Ur - 1997
• She identifies some essential qualities, which relate to teaching rather than other professions:– I sense where the learner is at, what their problem is: I feel
what they know and what they don’t know.– I know how to transform what I know about the language
into a form that is accessible to my learners– I know how to design and administer activities and exercises
that will foster learning– I know when learning is and is not happening by the way the
learners behave: I don’t need tests– I get my ‘buzz’ from when the students succeed, learn,
progressTo master this, one requires to practice reflection of teaching
Use of technology as follow-up actions & CS4T
• Pedagogy is evolving with newer technological aids for better communication in classroom.
• Various ICT components helps teacher in enhancing their skills in teaching.
• It also has its deep rooted impact on the learning of the students.
• Here, we discuss how can we sharpen our communication skills by using it for follow-up actions?
• SMS, email, scrap, tweet, chat, web spaces, SIG, etc can be used effectively for:– Replying questions of the students– Solving their doubts/queries etc– Giving some task for next class in advance– Having group discussion out of the class– Uploading lesson/presentation to web
spaces– Running web sites with LMS to check
students progress– Managing e-groups (SIGs) – file
upload, poll, discussion, photos etc.
Social Constructivism• Social constructivism extends constructivism
into social settings, wherein groups construct knowledge for one another, collaboratively creating a small culture of shared artifacts with shared meanings.
• When one is immersed within a culture like this, one is learning all the time about how to be a part of that culture, on many levels.
• Eg. Cup.

Observation is the master key!
• To be the master of effective Communication Skills, OBSERVE, OBSERVE, OBSERVE; minutely, meticulously, marvelously.
