To be a good teacher it is essential that he/she has a burning desire to impart knowledge. But more often than not the students lose interest in what the teachers are speaking after they have heard him/her for just 10 minutes. Therefore to keep up their attention and curiosity, the teacher needs to be enthusiastic and make learning a whole lot of fun.

And this is where the importance of better communication comes in. Fluency in English, speech modulations, eye-contact, expressions and presentation are the key factors in effective communication.

Effective oral and written communication is important in every facet of life that teachers of every subject especially language teachers should place a high priority on when they enter the classroom.
