The importance of communication skills cannot be underestimated especially so 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 important to give a lecture rich in content that provides abundant information about the subject or topic in question, but a successful teacher develops an affinity with, an understanding of and a harmonious relationship with her pupils. Building rapport 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 them creates a strong bond. Building rapport is the first step to better communication - the 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 surprising degree, how one communicates determines ones effectiveness as a teacher. A study on communication styles suggests that 7% communication takes place through words, 38% through voice intonation and 55% through body language. Much of the teaching is about sending and receiving information. The process of communication is composed of three elements: the source (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 message muddled by the sender or misinterpreted by the recipient. When this isn't detected it can cause tremendous confusion, wasted effort and missed opportunities. Good communication skills are a prerequisite for those in the teaching profession. Carefully planned and skillfully delivered messages 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 students, can inspire them to learn and participate in class and encourage them to come forth with their views thus creating a proper rapport. They must realize that all students have different levels of strengths and weaknesses. Q. Choose the word most opposite to meaning to the word MUDDLED as used in the passage. a. Complicated b. Skillfully organised c. Strongly controlled d. Isolated
