Faculty Development Programme (FDP) on Enhancing Classroom Communication Skills for Teachers

 The Library and Information Centre organized a Faculty Development Programme (FDP) on “Enhancing Classroom Communication Skills for Teachers” on 28.02.2026 at 12.00 PM in the Seminar Hall. The programme was conducted with the objective of strengthening the communication skills of faculty members and improving the overall effectiveness of classroom teaching.

The session was delivered by Mr. Nagesh J. E., who served as the Resource Person. In his presentation, he elaborated on the process of communication in teaching, explaining how a message is created, encoded by the teacher, transmitted, received, and decoded by the students. He highlighted that effective teaching depends on clarity of thought, proper expression, and understanding the learners’ responses.

Mr. Nagesh J. E. provided examples from the present classroom situation to demonstrate how communication gaps may arise and how they can be minimized. He emphasized that a teacher must be a good speaker, attentive listener, and active reader. He clearly stated that teaching is always a two-way interaction and not a one-way process. Teachers should encourage students to ask questions, share ideas, and participate actively in discussions.

He also motivated the faculty members to remain optimistic in their professional approach and avoid pessimistic attitudes while facing academic challenges. According to him, positive communication builds confidence, mutual respect, and better learning outcomes in the classroom.

The programme concluded with the Presidential Address by the Principal. In his speech, he appreciated the valuable insights shared by the Resource Person and stressed that faculty members should continuously develop their professional skills, update their knowledge, and adopt innovative teaching strategies. He encouraged the staff to enhance their communication abilities to ensure effective student engagement and academic excellence.

The FDP was highly informative and beneficial, providing practical guidance on improving classroom communication and promoting interactive teaching–learning practices.
