Effective classroom communication involves a process between the teacher and students. The teacher acts as the sender, sharing content and facilitating understanding among students as receivers. Key aspects of effective communication include the teacher's knowledge and presentation of the material, students' active listening and feedback, and using appropriate media and addressing barriers to ensure students comprehend the message. The overall goal is establishing mutual understanding between the teacher and students.
