Synopsis
Pre-service teachers will analyse the nature of communication and learn the elements of effective interpersonal communication, with consideration of the range of verbal and non-verbal communication processes and strategies. A major focus will be on the role of effective communication in education, and more specifically when teaching learners with additional needs including giving and receiving feedback, supporting learner engagement, and collaborating with others to ensure effective teaching and learning. The importance of effective and active listening will be emphasised, together with the interaction between verbal and non-verbal communication, and how these when used successfully can encourage and support effective collaborations. Pre-service teachers will also learn how to facilitate collaborative group decision-making and discussions, communicate effectively with learners, parents/carers, education colleagues and relevant professionals, and respond appropriately to conflict situations that may arise within an educational context.
