    Introduction to
    Communication
    skills

    Neil Jade O. Baldomar


    What is communication?
    Communication skills can be defined as the transmission of a message that
    involves the shared understanding between the contexts in which the
    communication takes place (Saunders and Mills, 1999).

    In addition, teacher communication skills are important for a teacher in


    delivery of education to students (McCarthy and Carter, 2001).
    Communication skills involve listening and speaking as well as reading and
    writing. For effective teaching a teacher need to be highly skilled in all
    these areas.
    Teacher with good communication always make the
    things easier and understandable (Freddie Silver).
    ·Morgan, Algiro L. in his paper ‘Communication Skills for Teachers’

    ·“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.”
    The importance of Communication

    Effective communication skills are really


    important for a teacher in transmitting of
    education, classroom management and
    interaction with students in the class. Teacher
    has to teach the students having different
    thinking approaches.

    To teach in accordance with the ability and


    capability of the students a teacher need to adopt
    such skills of communication which motivate the
    students toward their learning process (Sng
    Bee,2012).
    Communicating with Students

    The success of students is directly related


    to interactive, engaging teaching
    environments formed by able teachers
    (see Mashburn et al., 2008).
    Communicating with Parents
    As a teacher, you will also need to
    communicate effectively with parents.
    This could take place through a variety of
    mediums, including phone calls, emails,
    and in-person meetings, so you must be
    skilled with both verbal and written
    language.
    Communicating with Colleagues
    Teaching does not always involve
    independent work – it also requires
    collaboration. Whether you are
    planning lessons together, updating
    your colleagues on certain students’
    progress, or sharing tips about how to
    handle issues in the classroom, good
    communication skills will be of use to
    you.
    IS IT EASY AS IT IS SAID?

    No! It is not that easy…. “To learn to communicate is


    a difficult task to do”
    I scream, you scream, we all
    scream for ice cream.
