Communication means oneness and togetherness

-

The word ‘communication’ comes from the word ‘commune’. It means to be oneness or togetherness. In detail, the person speaks with others. If he is heard with oneness or togetherness is called real communication. Whenever we either listen or communicate, at that time, we both people connect with each other in the communication. We show oneness, togetherness, and attachment. Otherwise it is a just mechanical communication if there is no sign of oneness and togetherness in it. The person speaks without any authenticity of oneness or togetherness and other just hears the word, not oneness with him. That is only mechanical way of communication. That’s why most of the relationships don’t live longer and break up instantly due to lack of oneness and togetherness in the communication.
                          In day to day life we come across such examples and never realise the importance and value of authentic communication. Recently I had such experience of it. It happened that I was attending the teacher’s meeting conducted by the principal. At a time she raised authentic issue of speaking English in the school premises. She found that most of the teachers don’t speak English with the students. Further she added that those who finished schooling and going to college they share the story of their presentation in which they have to communicate in English. Today they realise the importance of communication in English. Even they remember her word all the time whenever they are told to give the presentation in English. At same time she was speaking from the bottom of heart. I realised that there was pain, regret, loss, and isolation in her voice. Everybody seemed to be oneness and togetherness with her while she was interacting with us. That was real communication.
                       In addition of that, we need to know that we have to listen others with intention of understanding, not intention of answering. Definitively the authenticity in communication can save our life from breaking down. Isn’t it?

    My teaching techniques for English language learners.     What works in one place doesn’t necessarily help at other side. That is true for teaching and learning at schools and colleges. There are certain reasons such as students' level, their family background, atmosphere, social activities, discipline and awareness factors etc. However, a teacher has to take his techniques based on his experience and observations to the class. So that he can change it from time to time. Being a learner, I jotted down some ideas for my teaching profession. At this stage, I feel that these are to be changed in the course of teaching and learning. 1) Icebreakers:- As soon as I enter the class, I try to use some ideas to make my class fresh, energetic and attentive. Maybe small activities such as a hand up, closing your eyes, taking deep breaths, rolling your hands, moving your body, clapping, touching your forehead, gargling and so on. That prepares my students for learnin...
