2. Barriers of classroom communication
 Communication is an important part of teaching because the students have to be
able to understand the message that the teacher is trying to convey. Students also
have to be able to communicate effectively with each other. There are a number of
factors in the classroom (and many of these factors exist in day-to-day life as well)
that can act as barriers to effective communication.

3. Cont...
 Perception Barriers
 Perception may be a barrier to effective communication in the classroom. Different people may
receive and hear the same message but interpret it differently. Paying attention to detail is also
important. Important aspects can be missed by not covering a subject in depth. A teacher should
also learn to focus on both positive and negative aspects of a conversation. By having a distorted
focus, a teacher may only focus on the negative aspects of a conversation.
 Oral Barriers
 Communication barriers in the classroom may exist if oral communication is not clear.
Communication only occurs when the listener hears and understands your message in the way you
meant for it to be received. Some problems in oral communications include using words with
ambiguous meanings. The teacher must make sure the students clearly understand the meanings
of words. Another problem in oral communications is using generalizations and stereotypes.
Classroom communication should be specific to the topic and without bias. A teacher must also
take caution not to make a premature conclusion before she has all the facts about a topic or
situation. Finally, a teacher must overcome any lack of self-confidence and deliver the message
with assertiveness and clarity.

4. Cont...
 Listening Barriers
Effective listening is one of the most important factors in classroom communication. Take
the time to listen to what the other person is saying. When someone is speaking, you
should not be thinking of your next response. Negative emotions may occur when certain
words or body language is used. A teacher must also take care to keep emotional reactions
to a minimum and focus on what the speaker is saying. Outside noise such as telephones,
email or construction noise can sometimes make listening difficult. This outside noise
should be minimized in the classroom.
 Cultural Barriers
Cultural differences can be a barrier to effective communications in the classroom. It is
possible for both a teacher and a student to have predisposed ideas about behavior based
on what the other person's culture is. Messages are often misunderstood if they are
delivered in a way that is unfamiliar to the student's culture. It is important to dispel
assumptions or biases based on cultural differences in a classroom .

5. Overcome the barriers of communication
 Clarify Ideas before Communication:
The person sending the communication should be very clear in his mind about what
he wants to say. He should know the objective of his message and, therefore, he
should arrange his thoughts in a proper order.

6. Cont..
 Communicate According to the Need of the Receiver:
The sender of the communication should prepare the structure of the message not
according to his own level or ability but he should keep in mind the level,
understanding or the environment of the receiver
 Be Aware of Language, Tone and Content of Message:
The sender should take care of the fact that the message should be framed in clear and
beautiful language. The tone of the message should not injure the feelings of the
receiver. As far as possible the contents of the message should be brief and excessive
use of technical words should be avoided.

7. Cont..
 Consult Others before Communication:
At the time of planning the communication, suggestions should be invited from all the
persons concerned. Its main advantage will be that all those people who are consulted
at the time of preparing the communication plan will contribute to the success of the
communication system.
 Convey Things of Help and Value to the Listener:
The subject matter of the message should be helpful to the receiver. The need and
interest of the receiver should specially be kept in mind. Communication is more
effective in such a situation
