3. Definition
Educational communication can be
defined as a transactional process in which
educators and students create a joint
communication climate which changes
from moment to moment as the
conversation unfolds and the thoughts,
attitudes and behaviors of both parties
influence each other in some way.
4. An educator should ask the following questions to
himself/herself:
What do I expecting after sending my message?
What would I like to accomplish in order to influence my
surrounding?
What do I expecting my students to believe in, say and do as a result of
my communication?
In former psychology, what kind of impact would I like to create and
what kind of reaction would I like to receive from my students?
5. The Good Teacher Is More Than a lecturer
Teaching is a balancing act between knowledge and performance. Some
brilliant people are unable to impart the knowledge that they have onto
other people because they lack effective communication skills. The
concept of a good teacher includes the ability to connect with students, to
encourage inquiry and to project a caring attitude while maintaining
discipline.
6. Teacher-Student Relationship
What you say to your students and (and sometimes what you don't say) will
stay with them forever. It is important to communicate effectively with your
students, so they know and understand where you're coming from.
7. If teachers and students can't
communicate well with each other, it's
likely that the learning objectives
aren't being met. If you feel like your
students need directions repeated
several times, or if you're not sure
they understand the content,
incorporate simple strategies to
encourage communication and make
the school year go more smoothly.

9. Effective Communication Skills
Emotional Communication
Non-verbal Language
Humor
Reflective Communication
Technological Communication
10. Emotional Communication
By establishing an emotional
connection with a student, a
teacher can identify what
motivates the particular
student and create a
collaborative learning
environment.
11. Non-verbal Language
An encouraging smile can
motivate a student as much as the
phrase "you can do it." Nonverbal language such as eye
contact, facial expressions,
posture and tone help to establish
a relationship with students and
to produce a positive learning
environment.
12. Humor
Humor relaxes the distance
between teacher and
students and creates a
collaborative feeling.
Students will not fear their
teacher and will be more
willing to approach her and
ask for guidance or help.
13. Reflective Communication
A successful teacher must be
able to discern how he should
behave in a specific classroom.
If a teacher is in a classroom
where students are having
particular difficulties with a
topic, he must be able to reflect
on the situation and develop a
new method for dealing with the
topic.
15. Ineffective communication in the classroom
One-way communication
process
Communication is a two-way
street. Understanding that
communication is interactive
by its very nature is an
essential first step in becoming
an effective communicator.
16. Ineffective communication in the classroom
Avoiding the
Listener
Imagine yourself attending a
seminar where the speaker is
simply reading from his notes
and for once has not made any
eye contact with you. You will
never be able to relate with the
speaker and hence never bother
to find out what he wants to
convey. Don’t just go on.
Create a friendly atmosphere
and then start communicating.
17. Effective communication in the classroom
Verbal
communication
Verbal communication in
education is when the
educator uses words to explain
and teach. Lecturing is the
most common form of verbal
communication in education.
18. Effective communication in the classroom
Non-verbal
communication
Non-verbal communication,
which is any time a message
is sent without the use of
words. This is commonly
seen in the use of visual aids,
dramatic presentations or
body language.
