4. INTRODUCTION
 There are many reasons why interpersonal communications may fail. In many
communications, the message (what is said) may not be received exactly the way the
sender intended. It is, therefore, important that the communicator seeks feedback to
check that their message is clearly understood.
 The skills of Active Listening, Clarification and Reflection may help but the skilled
communicator also needs to be aware of the barriers to effective communication and
how to avoid or overcome them.
 There are many barriers to communication and these may occur at any stage in the
communication process. Barriers may lead to your message becoming distorted and
you therefore risk wasting both time and/or money by causing confusion and
misunderstanding

5. BARRIERS TO EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION
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 or
construction noise can sometimes make listening difficult. This outside noise
should be minimized in the classroom.
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.

6. BARRIERS TO EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION
Oral Barrier : 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.

7. MEASURES TO 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.
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.
Be a Good Listener: It is the essence of communication that both the sender and the
receiver should be good listeners. Both should listen to the each other’s point of view
with attention, patience and positive attitude. A sender can receive much relevant
information by being a good listener.
