Q2. What is communication process ? Explain and give
various components and elements of it ?

The process of communication refers to the transmission


or passage of information or message from the sender
through a selected channel to the receiver overcoming
barriers that affect its pace. Communication process
consists of certain steps where each step constitutes the
essential of an effective communication.
Elements of Communication :-
Seven major elements of communication process are: (1)
sender (2) ideas (3) encoding (4) communication channel
(5) receiver (6) decoding and (7) feedback
Sender :- The person who intends to convey the message
with the intention of passing information and ideas to
others is known as sender or communicator.
Ideas :- This is the subject matter of the communication.
This may be an opinion, attitude, feelings, views, orders, or
suggestions.
Encoding :- Since the subject matter of communication is
theoretical and intangible, its further passing requires use
of certain symbols such as words, actions or pictures etc.
Conversion of subject matter into these symbols is the
process of encoding.
Communication channel :- The person who is interested
in communicating has to choose the channel for sending
the required information, ideas etc. This information is
transmitted to the receiver through certain channels which
may be either formal or informal.
Receiver :- Receiver is the person who receives the
message or for whom the message is meant for. It is the
receiver who tries to understand the message in the best
possible manner in achieving the desired objectives.
Decoding :- The person who receives the message or
symbol from the communicator tries to convert the same in
such a way so that he may extract its meaning to his
complete understanding.
Feedback :- Feedback is the process of ensuring that the
receiver has received the message and understood in the
same sense as sender meant it.

Q3. How effective communication is defined ? what are


barriers to effective communication? Explain with
examples.

Effective communication is a process of exchanging ideas,


thoughts, knowledge and information such that the
purpose or intention is fulfilled in the best possible manner.
In simple words, it is nothing but the presentation of views
by the sender in a way best understood by the receiver.
A communication barrier is anything that comes in the way
of receiving and understanding messages that one sends
to another to convey his ideas, thoughts, or any other kind
of information. These various barriers of communication
block or interfere with the message that someone is trying
to send.
Barriers to Effective communication :-
Linguistic Barriers :- The language barrier is one of the
main barriers that limit effective communication. Language
is the most commonly employed tool of communication.
The fact that each major region has its own language is
one of the Barriers to effective communication. Sometimes
even a thick dialect may render the communication
ineffective.
Psychological Barriers :- There are various mental and
psychological issues that may be barriers to effective
communication. Some people have stage fear, speech
disorders, phobia, depression etc. All of these conditions
are very difficult to manage sometimes and will most
certainly limit the ease of communication.
Emotional Barriers :- The emotional IQ of a person
determines the ease and comfort with which they can
communicate. A person who is emotionally mature will be
able to communicate effectively. On the other hand, people
who let their emotions take over will face certain
difficulties. A perfect mixture of emotions and facts is
necessary for effective communication.
Physical Barriers to Communication :- They are the
most obvious barriers to effective communication. These
barriers are mostly easily removable in principle at least.
They include barriers like noise, closed doors, faulty
equipment used for communication, closed cabins, etc.
Sometimes, in a large office, the physical separation
between various employees combined with faulty
equipment may result in severe barriers to effective
communication.
Cultural Barriers of Communication :- As the world is
getting more and more globalized, any large office may
have people from several parts of the world. Different
cultures have a different meaning for several basic values
of society. Dressing, Religions or lack of them, food,
drinks, pets, and the general behaviour will change
drastically from one culture to another. Hence it is a must
that we must take these different cultures into account
while communication. This is what we call being culturally
appropriate. In many multinational companies, special
courses are offered at the orientation stages that let
people know about other cultures and how to be courteous
and tolerant of others.
Organisational Structure Barriers :- There are many
methods of communication at an organizational level. Each
of these methods has its own problems and constraints
that may become barriers to effective communication.
Most of these barriers arise because of misinformation or
lack of appropriate transparency available to the
employees.
Perception Barriers :- Different people perceive the same
things differently. This is a fact which we must consider
during the communication process. Knowledge of the
perception levels of the audience is crucial to effective
communication. All the messages or communique must be
easy and clear. There shouldn’t be any room for a
diversified interpretational set.
Physiological Barriers :- Certain disorders or diseases or
other limitations could also prevent effective
communication between the various channels of an
organization. The shrillness of voice, dyslexia, etc are
some examples of physiological barriers to effective
communication. However, these are not crucial because
they can easily be compensated and removed.
Technological Barriers :- Other barriers include the
technological barriers. The technology is developing fast
and as a result, it becomes difficult to keep up with the
newest developments. Hence sometimes the technological
advance may become a barrier. In addition to this, the cost
of technology is sometimes very high. Most of the
organizations will not be able to afford a decent tech for
the purpose of communication. Hence, this becomes a
very crucial barrier.

Q4. Describe communication . Discuss the features of

Q8. What are the ways to improve Vocabulary ?


Vocabulary is the all the language and words either used
or understood by a person or group of people. An example
of vocabulary is all the words that a toddler understands.
7 Ways to Improve Your Vocabulary :-
Develop a reading habit :- Vocabulary building is easiest
when you encounter words in context. Seeing words
appear in a novel or a newspaper article can be far more
helpful than seeing them appear on vocabulary lists. Not
only do you gain exposure to unfamiliar words; you also
see how they’re used.
Use the dictionary and thesaurus :- Online dictionaries
and thesauruses are helpful resources if used properly.
They can jog your memory about synonyms that would
actually be better words in the context of what you’re
writing. A full dictionary definition can also educate you
about antonyms, root words, and related words, which is
another way to learn vocabulary.
Play word games :- Classic games like Scrabble and
Boggle can function as a fun way to expand your English
vocabulary. Crossword puzzles can as well. If you really
want to be efficient, follow up rounds of these word games
with a little note-taking. Keep a list of the different words
you learned while playing the game, and then study that
list from time to time.
Use flashcards :- A quick way to build a large vocabulary
is to study a number of words via flashcards. In today’s
digital age, a wide array of smartphone apps make
flashcards convenient and easy to organize. Aiming for
one new word a day is reasonable. You can always go for
more, but it may not be reasonable to assimilate dozens of
English words every single day.
Practice using new words in conversation :- It’s
possible to amass a huge vocabulary without actually
knowing how to use words. This means you have to take it
upon yourself to put your personal dictionary into use. If
you come across an interesting word in your reading,
make a point of using it in conversation. By experimenting
in low-stakes situations, you can practice the art of word
choice and, with a little bit of trial and error, hone in on the
right word for a particular context.

Q9. How Language games are used to develop the fluency


?
OR
How can language games be used to facilitate the
improvement of vocabulary in children?

Students can learn in a fun way by using language games.


Language games will stimulate and motivate them to
practice their English understanding through speaking.
From those reasons, it is clear that language games are
medias that can be used to improve the students‟
speaking ability.
Through well-planned games, learners can practice and
internalize vocabulary. Playing and competition that are
provided by games enhance the motivation of the
students. They also reduce the stress in the classroom. ...
In a way, students acquire language unconsciously since
their whole attention is engaged by the activity.

Q10. What is the role of grammer in communication ?

Grammar is one of the most important parts of learning


language. grammar shows the basic structures and rules
for making words and sentences also grammar has an
important role language component for forming words and
constructing English sentences among EFL/ESL learners.
most of the time English learners ignore or don’t pay
attention to know about grammar. this research shows why
English grammar is important in different situations,
especially in communication, like when we have informal
conversations or professional communication. And it
investigates the need for grammar for those who say
grammar doesn’t matter anymore, especially in a society
where texting and using slang terminology is so popular.
Therefore, a survey has been done with Kurdish EFL
learners to find out the importance of grammar. after the
data analyses, the result shows that grammar is very
important for forming words and sentences and it works
best for learning the English language among learners.
And it should be mainly practiced. thus knowing grammar

 Not being able to pass a message clearly, can
diminish your organization’s name
 Poor usage of grammar can give a negative
impression about you
 It helps you to build a reputation as a professional
 Helps you gain credibility

Q11. What are the ways to make the speech effective ?

Ways to make our speech Effective :-


Know your audience :- Talk to at least three to five
attendees of all levels ahead of time so you are relevant,
current and credible with your message. By getting a
sense of your audience ahead of time, you can make your
stories and examples more engaging and relevant. You
can learn how to share examples that make sense to
them, versus giving high-level examples that don't
resonate.
Be engaging :- Connect to your audience and keep it
lively. Don't over-teach or talk down to a group. People
want to be entertained and educated. If your speech is not
entertaining, don't try too hard, but do keep your content
real, lively and relevant. Use a prop or two as possible to
make your point.
Avoid death by PowerPoint :- I have heard stories of
presenters who've started a presentation by saying, "I'm
going to cover 120 slides today." That is a kiss of death.
Keep your slides, if you use them, full of images and light
on words. Your slides should make little sense without you
telling the story in tandem. If you have more than one slide
per minute, go back and edit your slides. You want people
to be focused on you speaking -- not on your slides or
video.
Use the power of eye contact :- Your audience is made
up of individuals, and you should make an effort to make
eye contact with each of them. Eye contact makes a
person feel personally engaged in a speech, and engaged
listeners are much more likely to be persuaded.
Tell compelling stories :- The power of storytelling lies in
the images that your audience will create in their heads as
you spin your yarn. Rather than just loading folks up with
information, if you tell a story, you’re making them active
participants in your performance. Stories—brief, relevant
stories—are a powerful tool.
Tell a memorable story :- When your audience leaves the
room, ask yourself what they will say to their spouse or
friend about your speech. Will you have shared with them
a memorable story or an idea with immediate take-home
action? A memorable story is one that they would share
with a family member at dinner.

Q12. Discuss the ways to prepare for professional


interview ?
As you're preparing for the interview, think about ways you
can show yourself in a positive light:
Punctuality - Arriving late will increase your stress levels
and give the employer a bad first impression, so do your
best to arrive in good time.
Positivity and enthusiasm - Be polite and professional
with any staff you meet before or after the interview and, if
you're feeling particularly nervous, remind yourself that the
worst thing that could happen is not getting the job. During
the interview, respond to questions with positive
statements, be enthusiastic about the job and avoid
badmouthing your previous employers or university tutors.
Body language :- Give a firm handshake to your
interviewer(s) before and after the session. Once you're
seated, sit naturally without slouching in your chair or
leaning on the desk. Throughout the interview, remember
to smile frequently and maintain eye contact.
Clarity :- Answer all questions clearly and concisely,
evidencing your most relevant skills, experiences and
achievements. It's acceptable to pause before answering a
difficult question to give yourself thinking time, or asking for
clarification if you're unsure what a question means. When
answering, don't speak too quickly.
Q13. What are the ways to acquiring reading skills ?

Here are some simple and effective ways to help students


build reading skills to better understand.
Annotate and highlight text :- Teach your students to
highlight and underline valuable information as they read.
Have students write notes on the pages they are reading
to help them stay focused and improve comprehension.
Students can also write down questions as they read to
receive more explanation on a new concept or to define a
new word.
Practice problem solving skills :- Blend real-world
problem solving skills into your curriculum. Have your
students write out solutions to the problem and discuss
their ideas as a class or in small groups.
Incorporate more senses :- Add in activities that
reinforce learning and comprehension by using more
senses as they read. Remind students to read with a pen
or pencil to annotate the text. Have your students take
turns reading out loud. Use projectors to guide your lesson
and write down questions for those who are visual
learners.
Set reading goals :- Have each student set their own
reading goals. This can help them take action in building
reading skills and students will be more mindful of how
they are improving.
Personalize the content :- Students can increase their
understanding by seeing how the material connects with
their life. Have your students make personal connections
with the text by writing it down on the page. You can also
help students comprehend the text by helping them see an
association with current events.

Q14. What the characteristics of good presentation ?

Opening and closing phrases:


It Should be carefully framed keeping in view the situation ,
audience and subject. The speaker must select an opener,
which attracts listeners attention and interest by using
relevant and neutral statements.
Audibility of voice and words:

Sincerity:
Thought, feeling and imagination must stimulate a speech
if it is to sound sincere. all the three elements should be
present in a speech and the speaker must always think,
feel and imagine before he speaks if he is to bring out the
full meaning.
Use of quotations:
A speaker should be very cautious in using quotations. He
should avoid too many as well as long, foreign or Latin
quotations. When the quotations are used, they should be
correct and full.
Rehearsal:
Fear of forgetting may result in stage phobia. A speaker
with a stage phobia concentrations his mood excessively
on himself than on the listeners of the message. Constant
practice and self- confidence can, however, help in
overcoming stage phobia.
