Question

Explain three suitable measures to overcome the barriers to effective communication. 

Answer 1

Measures to overcome the barriers to effective communication. 

1. Use of Simple Language: The use of simple and clear words should be emphasized. Avoid using ambiguous words and jargon. 
2. Reduction and elimination of noise levels: Noise is the main communication barrier that must be overcome on a priority basis. It is essential to identify the source of the noise and then eliminate it.
3. Active Listening: Listen attentively and carefully. There is a difference between listening and hearing. Active listening means hearing with a proper understanding of the message that is heard. By asking questions, the speaker can ensure whether his/her message is understood or not by the receiver in the same terms as intended by the speaker.
