Communication is an essential skill in the classroom. The ability to impart information to students and ensure they fully understand tasks is an important one, but it is not the extent of a teacher's communication ability. The best teachers don't simply speak to their students, they engage them and encourage them to participate in group learning. Knowing how to speak to students in an encouraging manner, rather than being patronising or dismissive, will help students develop confidence and make them more willing to join discussions in class.
Verbal communication is only a small part of how people interact and a teacher must understand the importance of nonverbal communication. This might be something as small as how a teacher enters a classroom to give a good first impression at the start of a lesson. They should also know how to interpret the body language of their students; somebody might be struggling with their work or a situation at home and be too embarrassed to ask a teacher for help. In these situations, a teacher might need to check on that student without being asked to.
