The importance of communication skills cannot be underestimated, especially so, in the teaching -
learning process. Teaching is generally considered as only fifty per cent knowledge and fifty percent interpersonal or communication skills. For attaches, it is not just important to give a lecture rich in
content that provides abundant information about the subject or topic in question, huts successful
teacher develops an affinity with, an understanding of, and a harmonious interrelationship with her
 pupils. Building rapport becomes her primary task in the classroom. But what exactly is rapport?
Rapport is a sympathetic relationship or understanding that allows you to look at the world from
someone else's perspective. Making other people feel that you understand them creates a strong
bond. Building rapport is the first step to better communication - the primary goal of all true educators. Communication skills for teachers are thus as important as their in-depth knowledge of Me particular
subject which they teach. To a surprising degree, how one communicates determines one's effectiveness
as teacher A study on communication styles suggests that 7% of communication takes place through
words, 38% through soon intonation and 55% through body language.

Much of teaching is about sending and receiving messages. The process of communication is
composed of three elements : the source (sender, speaker, transmitter or instructor), the symbols
used in composing and transmitting of the message (words or signs), and the receiver (listener, reader
or student). The three elements are dynamically interrelated since each element is dependent on the
 others for effective communication to take place. Effective communication is all about conveying your message to the other people clearly and unambiguously. It's also about receiving information the others
are sending to you, with as little distortion as possible. Doing this involves effort form both the sender
and the receiver And it's a process that can be fraught with error, with messages muddled by the
sender, or misinterpreted by the recipient When this isn't detected it can cause tremendous confusion,
wasted effort and missed opportunity.

Good communication skills are a prerequisite for those in the teaching profession Carefully planned
and skilfully delivered messages can issue invitations to students that school us place to shoe ideas, investigate and collaborate with others, Effective communication is essential for a well- run classroom, Anchor who is able to communicate well with students can inspire than to team end participate in
class and encourage there co come forth with their views, thus creating a proper rapport. Although
this sounds simple and obvious, it requires much more thins teacher saying something out loud to a
student. They must also realize that all students have different levels of strengths and weaknesses
