Strategies for Effective Communication

K. Sangeetha, M.A., M.Phil., Ph.D.

Communication is the transmission of thoughts, ideas, feeling and attitudes from one person to another through a medium. The English Language plays an indispensable role as a very powerful medium of communication at the global level. It is therefore necessary for the English teacher to make their students expert in handling such an essential language. With good communication skills, one can convince people, control situations, comprehend complexities and command respect. By adopting effective strategies, the teachers can equip the learners with personal and social competence, self-confidence and positive outlook. The learners being so well-trained, any challenge will be as easy as cakewalk for them.

Listening Skills

Listening and speech are interdependent skills. They were the foremost skills to evolve. Speech follows listening. Listening alone helps an infant to grasp a language before it is three years old. An utterance becomes effective and useful only when it is listened to. Listening is the first step to knowledge. Unfortunately, in the present day world, people fail to listen well. Listening is no more a passive skill. It is an active process, a cognitive activity, a door to wisdom, and a key to good rapport with the speaker.
