him/her self that whatever he/she is communicating
is perfect and is going to benefit the receiver. If he
will believe in his abilities his communication will be
effective.
2-Easy understanding
The communicator should keep in mind that
whether the things he is communicating are easily
understood by his receiver. He should keep in mind
the level of his receiver.

abilities of his students.

The communicator should have a clear-cut focus
in his mind that what he is going to
communicate. What he wants to achieve? If he is
aware of all this his communication will be
effective.

command over his respective domain. If a person

communicating. He should be aware that what language his
receiver could understand and he should deliver accordingly.

receiver. If the receiver is not interested to listen or to view than
the communication will be ineffective.

not be able to convey his ideas and
thoughts to others. And for communication
