Topic 2 Barriers
Communication barriers are obstacles which hamper the communication process. The examples of such are:
- Conducting communication in a superior or condescending manner – when working with students it is very important that they feel your support and while maintaining respect they should not be feeling as worse.
- Use of fast and routinely expressed questions – this could suggest that you are not really interested in the message that you are receiving.
- Rare reference to the thoughts of our interlocutor – such behaviour suggests that you are concentrated more on yourself and your point of view than to the message that you are receiving.
- Frequent interruptions for asking questions or meddling comments – it is important to avoid that behaviour as the fluency of the talk suffers in such situations
- The use of jargon or complicated language – especially problematic if language in which the communication is carried is not the native one of the interlocutors.
