- 2. COMMUNICATION • Communication is fundamental to the existence and survival of humans as well as to an organization. It is a process of creating and sharing ideas, information, views, facts, feelings from one place, person or group to another. • The methods of communication involve oral and speech communication, written and graphical representations. Additionally, it includes the cultural sphere, a tool utilized to communicate, location, etc. Though it looks simple, communication is generally a very complicated subject.
- 3. TYPES OF COMMUNICATION: • The four main categories of communication are: Verbal – It is a method that uses speech in the form of speaking to convey a message or information Nonverbal – It is basically a practice of gestures, facial expressions, and body language to send information Written – It is all about typing, printing symbols, numbers, letters, and writing to send a piece of information Visual – It uses art, photographs, sketches, graphs, charts, and drawings, to pass on the information
- 4. FEW EXAMPLES OF COMMUNICATION
- 5. NONVERBAL COMMUNICATION • Non-verbal communication occurs without using any oral or written word. Instead of written or oral words, it relies on various non-verbal cues like physical movements, tasks, colours, signs, symbols, signals charts, etc. to express feelings, attitudes or information. • Although no word is used in non-verbal communication, it can effectively communicate many human feelings more accurately than verbal methods of communication.
- 6. TYPES • Eye contact • Facial expressions • Gestures • Posture and body orientation • Body Language • Space and Distance • Proximity • Touch • Silence • Personal Appearance • Symbol • Visual Communication • Para-linguistic • Humor
- 7. EYE CONTACT AND FACIAL EXPRESSIONS • Eye contact: It helps to regulate the flow of communication. And signals interest in others. Eye contact with audiences increases the speaker’s credibility. Teachers who make eye contact open the flow of communication and convey interest, concern and credibility. • Facial expressions: • An important communicator. and is the index of the mind. It expresses the type of emotions or feelings such as joy, love, interest, sorrow, anger, annoyance, confusion, enthusiasm, fear, hatred surprise, and uncertainty. However, interpretations of facial expressions differ from culture to culture.
- 8. GESTURES AND POSTURE • Gestures: • Head nods, a form of gestures, communicate positive reinforcement to students and indicate that you are listening. Gestures are movements of the arms, legs, hands, and head. For example; a wave of the hand has a specific meaning-“hello” or “good- bye”; a forefinger and a thumb touching to form a circle have the meaning - “ok”. • Posture and body orientation: • We communicate numerous messages by the way we walk, talk, stand and sit. Interpersonal closeness results when you and your students face each other. Speaking with your back turned or looking at the floor or ceiling should be avoided; it communicates disinterest to your class.
- 9. BODY LANGUAGE AND SPACE • Body Language: • Body movements can convey meanings and messages. Body language may take two forms of unconscious movements and consciously controlled movements. For example; When a person is bored, he may gaze around the room rather than look at the speaker or he may shift positions frequently. When a person is nervous, he may bite his nails or mash hair. • Space and Distance: Space and distance are significant non-verbal tools in the case of organizational communication. A spacious and well-decorated room indicates a person’s position in the organization hierarchy and external people get a message about his importance and authority only by visiting his room. Distance is another communication tool, which expresses the degree of intimacy and individual acceptance.
- 10. PROXIMITY AND PARA-LINGUISTICS • Proximity: • Cultural norms dictate a comfortable distance for interaction with students. You should look for signals of discomfort caused by invading students’ space. Some of these are: Rocking Leg swinging Tapping Gaze aversion ➢ ➢ ➢ ➢ • Para-linguistic: This facet of nonverbal communication includes such vocal elements as: ➢ Tone Pitch Rhythm Timbre Loudness Inflection ➢ ➢ ➢ ➢ ➢ For effectiveness in communication, learn to vary these six elements of your voice. One of the major criticisms is of instructors who speak in a monotone. Listeners perceive these instructors as boring and dull.
- 11. HUMOUR ANDTOUCH • Humor: One should develop the ability to laugh at yourself and encourage students to do the same. It fosters a friendly environment that facilitates learning. Creating a climate that facilitates learning and retention demands good nonverbal and verbal skills. • Touch: Touch is a widely used form of non-verbal communication tool. By touching, one can express a wide range of emotions. However, the accepted modes of touch vary depending on the gender, age, relative status, intimacy and cultural background of the persons. For example, in the context of our culture, when one touches you from the back of the examination hall, your understanding is that he wants to know something.
- 12. SILENCE AND PERSONAL APPEARANCE • Silence: It may have a positive or negative meaning. In a classroom, silence indicates that students are listening carefully and attentively. In the same way, through silence one can communicate his lack of interest or a failure to understand. For example, silence often indicates that a person receiving instruction does not understand the action required. • Personal Appearance: • Appearance is also an important non-verbal communication tool. Appearance includes dress, hair, jewellery, makeup, belt buckles and so on. Appearance indicates the degree of importance or interest a person conveys to an occasion. Through uniform, we can identify a student, a doctor, a lawyer, a police officer, etc.
- 13. SYMBOLS • Symbol: A symbol is something that represents an idea, a physical entity or a process but is distinct from it. The purpose of a symbol is to communicate meaning. For example, a red octagon may be a symbol for “stop”. On a map, a picture of a tent might represent a campsite. Numerals are symbols for numbers. Personal names are symbols representing individuals. A red rose symbolizes love and compassion.
