The document compares one-way and two-way communication in classroom learning. One-way communication involves the learner listening or reading without responding, such as during lectures, films, or reading. Two-way communication allows feedback and includes restricted two-way, where the learner responds without using the target language, and full two-way, where the learner speaks in the target language. While one-way communication is easier for the sender, two-way communication helps understanding and allows questions. The document concludes that both have benefits depending on the classroom focus, with one-way better for listening and reading, and two-way better for interaction and accomplishing tasks.

2. WHAT IS COMMUNICATION?
Communication is the activity of conveying
information through the exchange of
thoughts, messages, or information, as by
speech, visuals, signals, writing, or
behavior. It is the meaningful exchange of
information between two or a group of
person (Wikipedia).

3. THE LEARNER’S ROLE IN COMMUNICATION
Two types of communicationin wich learners
participate:
1. One-way.
2. Two-way (Restricted and full).

4. ONE WAY COMMUNICATION

In one-way communication, the learner
listens to or reads the target language
but does not respond.

The communication is one-way, towards
the learner, not from the learner.

Examples:
Listening to
programs,
speeches
and
radio
watching films and most televisions
programs,
and reading books and magazines.

5. WHAT IS TWO-WAY COMMUNICATION?

Two-way communication always includes
feedback from the receiver to the sender and
lets the sender know the message has been
received accurately

Both sender and receiver listen to each
other, gather information and are willing to
make changes to work together in harmony

6. RESTRICTED TWO-WAY

In restricted two-way, the
learner responds orally to
someone, but the learner does
not use target language. The
response may be in the
learner’s first language or
some other non target
language and may include a
nonverbal response such as
nodding.

7. FULL TWO-WAY
COMMUNICATION

Most of the available empirical research
emphasizes the benefits of allowing oneway
and
restricted
two-way
communication during the early parts of
the learning process and waiting until
the student is ready to produce the
target language before insisting on full
two-way communication.

8. ONE WAY VS. TWO WAY COMMUNICATION
ONE WAY
Hard to understand
TWO WAY
Easier to understand

questions about the
without expecting the
message
receivers to ask questions
about it

9. THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF
ONE-WAY COMMUNICATION
The advantages of one-way
communications are that the
sender has no problem; they can
carry on with their work and don’t
have to worry about anything.
The disadvantage for one way
communication would be that
they cannot state their opinion
and how the media text has
affected them.

10.
THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF
TWO-WAY COMMUNICATIONS

The ADVANTAGE of two-way communications are
that the senders and the receivers get to discuss
what they would like. they can respond to the
sender and ask questions or talk about concerns
over with the sender.

The DISADVANTAGE the sender gets bothered
and has to always focus on what the receivers want
more than what they want. Most times this is a
bother to most senders because every one has a
different opinion about things and the sender has to
make something that majority of the people will
enjoy.

13. CONCLUSION
After conducting this experiment, we have concluded
that both communications are good at the conditional
situation.
One–way communication is appropriate in the class
which focuses on listening, reading, and such kind of
them. Whereas, two-way communication is a better
way for people to interact with each other and much
easier to accomplish a task especially in the class
which focuses on building speaking and sharing. Twoway communication allows the receiver of the
message reply or question on something they did not
understand
