How interpersonal skills in students can help to influence the relationship

between teacher and students?

As we all know, interpersonal skills focus on the interaction or communication

with others either in verbal or non-verbal ways. It is very important for the students to

cultivate the skills from young age because it can build up a better understanding about

other people around them especially towards their teachers and also other students.

Interpersonal skills can be divided into two elements which are listening and speaking

skills. Listening skills is the skill which involves receiving, understanding, evaluating,

remembering, and responding. If the students are active listeners, it can help to make

sense of the massage and also responds to what we hear as well. For example, if the

students have good listening skills, this may help to improve herself especially in herstudies. The reason is when we listen and we have a good relationship with our friends

and teacher, it may help to deliver the knowledge effectively which also leads to

success.

As students, they need to be aware about the manners which we should use

when talking to the teacher or even our peers. For examples, students need to know

when is their turn to talk and not interrupting other point while other people are

speaking. For example, it is normal for students to feel excited when they are in a

discussion. However, students normally see the discussion as a competition rather than

a place to discuss important things. The reason is when students feel like they need to

compete with each other during discussion, unfinished business will get involve during

and after it such as getting hurt and hatred. Thus, being a good listener builds healthy

relationship between students and teacher and also students and students as well.

If we look into speaking, it brings the meaning of the action of conveying

information or expressing ones feeling in speech. As students, it is important for them

to use the correct words and intonation to get their message across to others. For

example, if the student uses I hate you in a conversation, it will give a different

meaning if the students convey them using the wrong intonation such as asking and

statement intonation. It is also very important for them speak their mind clearly and

firmly. When they do not feel confident with the decision they made, they will end up

having problems between their peers and teacher. As a conclusion, both speaking and

listening skills are very crucial and vital in influencing the relationship between teacher

and students.
