For your information Did you know that there are theoretical models of communication? Jacobson’s model of communication says that there is always a sender and a receiver of a message and then the message itself. There are many ways for messages to be sent, e.g. body language, words or electronically. What complicates communication is often the disturbances of messages: are the sender and receiver making eye-contact; do both understand the language equally well or is there too much noise for effective communication to take place? It is important that learners understand that effective communication relies on many internal and external factors. Try to foster and nurture effective communication in your classroom.
