Communication

INTRODUCTION

Communication plays an effective and essential role for running the show of any formal or informal teaching-learning process. In many ways, teaching is com-municating and in this sense good teach-ers are always good communicators. It is also equally true for the learners. He who learns well is the one who partici-pates well in the communication process. Good learners are always good receivers and responders. In this way, communica-tion, as a vehicle or tool for running the slow of teaching-learning act, must always be treated as a two-way process in which both the source (teacher) and the bene-ficiary (learner) of teaching interact well for the proper realization of the teach-ing-learning objectives. However, for this proper interaction, teachers and students are required to acquire the art and tech-nique of good communication.

Meaning of Communication

The term communication is derived from the Latin word “com-munis” which means to make com-mon”. Communication, therefore is the exchange of thoughts, mes-sages, information, etc, by way of speech, signals or writing.
