Teacher communication in classroom – UGC NET Question

Statements A, C and D correctly describe elements of effective teacher communication. A is true because both verbal language and non-verbal signals like posture and facial expressions shape understanding. C is true since appropriate eye contact and gestures can highlight key points and maintain attention. D is true because listening to student questions and responses helps the teacher adjust explanations and fosters interaction. B is false as excessive jargon can confuse learners, and E is false because monopolising talk time reduces opportunities for student participation; therefore A, C and D only is the correct set of statements.

Option A:
Option A contains A and C, which are correct, but omits D even though active listening to students is a crucial aspect of communication. Since one true statement is missing, this option is incomplete and cannot be accepted as correct.

Option B:
Option B groups C and D but leaves out A, which provides the basic idea that verbal and non-verbal cues are both important. Thus C and D only is not the right option.

Option C:
Option C includes A, C and D, each of which accurately reflects good communication practices. It properly excludes the misleading claims in B and E, so A, C and D only is the correct answer.

Option D:
Option D adds B to A, C and D, thereby including the false assumption that complex jargon always improves understanding. Therefore A, B, C and D only is not valid.

Option E extends A, C and D to include E, which asserts that the teacher should speak for the whole time, leaving no space for student voices. Therefore A, C, D and E only cannot be correct.
