Nonverbal communication is vital towards the student -teacher relationship, in conveys the full meaning of the words that are being expressed and allows students to feel a deeper connected to the information that is being presented (Cooper & Simonds, 2011).


Verbal Communication
The effect the words have on your students! (Cooper &Simonds, 2011)

Automatically when one thinks of verbal communication one thinks of what is said, the words that come out of an individuals mouth. As stated by Cooper and Simonds (2011), " verbal communication takes into account the effect that words have on your students and will affect your ability to teach competently".  Without verbal communication teaching would be incomplete. Students would have a difficult time fully understanding the information and would not have the ability to ask questions for clarification.


When verbally communicating remember to....
Be Clear
Be Appropriate
Articulation
