Communication: The Importance Of ICT In Teaching And Education

According to the researchers, communication is the vital component in the education of students with moderate general learning incapacities as it permeates the entire curriculum and is central to all learning. Permitting the student to make the greatest possible use of his/her senses is a very necessary. Activities is one way of developing their awareness, interest and concentration are increasingly extended to encourage functional and enjoyable interaction with people and objects. The ability to gain control over the environment students opens up a world of opportunity to them. Central to such development is an interactive approach that stimulates a desire in the student to communicate and acknowledges that every effort to communicate is cherished. In other definition language generally implies verbal communication, oral and written. However, the acquisition of language is quite advanced and is far removed from the first attempts at communication in early childhood. The term ‘communication’ embraces verbal and non-verbal methods of receiving and giving information, essential when catering for students for whom verbal communication may not be an option. Communication may, therefore, take the form of listening and responding through speech or listening and responding using an augmentative communication system such as sign language. Some students may communicate with the help of technology; information on this may be found in the section on ICT supporting
