sure to submit at the right time required by your teacher. Always feel free to ask
your teacher for any part of this module you find difficult. Communication is very
important and to help you understand, let us now proceed.
In order for communication to be effective, the receiver has to understand it
and be able to respond to it. That means total communication involves the ability to
speak, to read, to listen and to reason.
Hence listening, thinking, and feedbacking are vital part of the process
because this is an incentive for the sender to ensure that the message is understood
by the recipient. The other factor is the communication-related "noise"-what else is
going on, what are the disturbances, luggage, etc. Noise can greatly im pede the
receiver decodes on the message.
Communication in the workplace is very important for businesses because it
allows organizations to be competitive and efficient. Employees can experience
increased morale, productivity and dedication if they can communicate within an
organization up and down the communication chain.

communicator by using correct way of questioning in conveying information.
EFFECTIVE QUESTIONING, ACTIVE LISTENING AND SPEAKING AND CONVEY
INFORMATION

B. Probing Question. These are questions to gather detailed information.
