Communication Encourages Learning
The classroom needs to be an open forum in which students and teachers are allowed and encouraged to share opinions and experiences. When this communication breaks down the learning environment also fails. I remember being in the first grade and one of the students in our class was trying to say something to the teacher. Obviously this was not a real stimulating conversation as we were only in the first grade. When the student started talking the teacher became irritated and told the student to stop talking. The student tried again to say something to the teacher, at this point the teacher went ballistic yelling and screaming for the class to be quite and not talk. This teacher proceeded to place the

I was fortunate enough to be very athletic, and was always first on the teams, but I can remember how humiliated the kids were who did not get picked. It always seemed that there was at least one person left at the end that the other kids would make fun of and say things like "I don't want him/her or if I take her then you have to take him". Being exposed to this can only reinforce the behavior of the students to be withdrawn. It is also cruel, and most likely will shape the childs behavior for the rest of their school career. Teachers must realize that they are there not only to teach the children facts, but also to teach them how to interact with others. Teaching the basic tools to interact with others in the elementry grades, will help to ensure as they get older they will be able to interact well in the classroom. Communication in the classroom must start in the early grades, and it is also a taught thing for a lot of students.
I witnessed an example of the effects not having open communication in the classroom has, by observing an interaction between two students who had just graduated from high school, and not yet begun college. The two students had gone through high school in very different ways, one interacted with others, while the other had been in home school. The one student had gone to a public high school, and had been
Communication isn’t just about talking. There are so many different elements to communicating in society. How a person gestures, the tone in an individual’s voice, an expression on a person’s face, how a person listens is all a part of communicating. As we all know, in order to communicate with one another we must be able to listen. I think in society people think that communication is all about speaking but in reality it is just a little piece to a bigger picture. In today’s society, listening seems to be a skill that is being neglected. Even though it is basically the first communication skill that we are exposed to, we have pushed it aside and chose speaking to dominate our lives. Researchers have discovered that fetuses can process incoming sounds during the last trimester of pregnancy, and that by 12 months children have learned sounds of and rules of their native language(Worthington, 3). This shows that children’s abilities to speak, read, write and reason are influenced highly by how well they are taught to listen. As parents we can all be teachers to our children so that they can grow up to be well-rounded communicators.
An example of when it could be used is, ‘What time shall I come see you today?’
Renee Herde makes a valuable point in the fact that students need to feel safe in their learning environment so therefore it is necessary to promote and enforce a high level of confidentiality and respect to hear what one another has to say. Each learner should be encouraged to say what they feel is necessary and should be responded to accordingly, because if they have the need to voice their comment to a classroom full of other people it was obviously important for them to let it be heard. Someone to just disregard their thoughts is a lack of respect possibly making the learner less inclined to join in future discussions; this should not be tolerated.
Effective communication is important so there are a number of strategies that can be used to make it easily understood and improve the effectiveness of the communication. positive communication in a classroom will help the children feel comfortable in your presence your own communication must always be positive and use language that will be understood by children and young people. Positive communication will promote trust which is important when working with all ages. By demonstrating the right kind of behaviour in different circumstances as well as body language the children and young person will gain in confidence. But not all children have access to consistent and effective communication so it is important that they see this at school and
As college students, we as students must have a fierce ambition to accomplish a balance between a healthy, steady social life and a bright academic future. Communication is an important tool in life, not just inside college that broadens our horizons and makes us more intelligent generally.
In this essay, I intend to reflect on a situation I encountered during my first community placement I had the opportunity to develop my communication skills not just theoretically but also practically, facing a real life environment. My placement made me aware of the importance of interpersonal and communication skills which are very important in the delivery of care. Throughout my nursing career, I will be encouraged to develop reflective practice skills and become a reflective practitioner. Reflection refers to a series of steps that you may take to question and explore an experience with the aim of learning from it. I will discuss the importance of communication in order to maintain a therapeutic relationship.
Good communication is a criterion that sets many students apart in terms of traits. This is useful when building any form of rapport between them and the lecture or tutor. A student that respectfully communicates has also come out as self-motivated and is more likely to get more help from the teacher since their problems are aired out effectively. Students that do not communicate can be misjudged and mistaken for lack of motivation and self-confidence. In addition, students who are good communicators are made, not born (Floyd, 2013).

Listening is a vital element of communication and it is very much different from hearing sense of human. A meaningful communication requires both a good listener and a speaker. However, the effect of a listening style may vary depending on the occasions and situations a listener is in. Sometimes, speaker exhibit ineffective style such as defensiveness, ambushing, pseudo-listening, stage hogging and selective listening in their communication tracks.
Throughout the semester, we have studied numerous communication theories. Their purpose is to help understand exactly what happens when we interact with others. We might not necessarily agree with all of the theories, but the idea is to develop tools to evaluate situations we may encounter. Often, when the theories are explained in the readings or lecture, it is beneficial to apply the concepts to a "real life" situation. Using this approach, I will use a situation that many of us have faced, or will face, and analyze it according to a particular communication theory.
Effective communication creates a learning environment where students can learn according to their individual needs in a safe and accommodating environment. Think about your early childhood education (or your child’s early education), was it flexible to suit individual learning experiences or were children required to conform to the teacher’s methods of teaching? If you answered the latter, do you think the former would improve the quality of education? Pedagogues’ in all divisions of education should possess proficiency in different levels of communication, whether they are teaching primary or secondary students or university alumni, to be able to address a combination of the various age groups (colleagues, students, parents or
Communication is a part of everyday life. Not only is it present in our personal lives, but in the
Communication is a process where we share our feelings, ideas, thoughts, suggestion, experience, feedback, opinions, etc. It’s a dialogue in which the sharing of meaningful information are constantly coming in and going out between two or more people in order
Though technology has made it easier for communication across distance, I find that maintaining communication depends on one’s own dedication to stay in contact. Having lived in Massachusetts, Colorado, and lastly, Oklahoma, I have gained many friends across the country. I have unfortunately lost some of my friends’ contact information. Regardless, for the purposes of this project I chose to talk to two of my friends in Massachusetts.
In the three communications I’ve written, text,email,and letter to insurance company. All of them had a different approach. Each written text were different people and they all had different responses. The background of the text I wrote to my friend was, my best friend I had known for years and we text every single day. The background of my email I wrote to my dad was tolerant because I not as close to my dad but, also, I should share how’s my life is going to him. In the letter, I wrote to my insurance company, it was urgent because I needed to tell them something needed to be done. They all come together as one whole story told in a different perspective.
