Features of effective classroom communication – UGC NET Question

Statements A, B and D describe features of effective communication, whereas C, E and F are wrong and therefore form the correct set of wrong statements. Aligning content with learner level, inviting participation and using clear language with examples all support learning. Ignoring prior knowledge, talking without pauses and banning visual aids are poor practices that typically reduce understanding and engagement. Thus the wrong statements are exactly C, E and F.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it singles out C only as wrong and ignores E and F, which also misrepresent effective communication. Teachers should not speak non-stop without pauses, and visual aids can be powerful supports when used thoughtfully. Choosing only C understates the number of wrong statements in the list.

Option B:
Option B is still incomplete because it lists C and E only and fails to include F, which unjustifiably condemns visual aids. Visuals that are relevant and well integrated often enhance communication rather than distract. Therefore C and E only does not capture the full set of wrong statements.

Option C:
Option C is correct because it groups C, E and F, all of which contradict accepted principles of effective teaching communication. It leaves A, B and D as valid statements about matching level, fostering participation and using clarity and examples. Since it identifies all and only the wrong statements, this option is the right answer.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect since it adds B, a correct statement about encouraging participation, to the wrong set along with C, E and F. Labelling B as wrong would imply that passive, non-participatory teaching is desirable, which is false. Hence B, C, E and F only cannot be selected as correct.
