Barriers to Communication and How to overcome themUnit 1 - P3 and M1
There are many barriers to communication and all of them can make it difficult
to communicate effectively. Some barriers include; language barriers, lack of
concentration, background noise, distractions, the use of jargon, hearing or
speech impairments…etc. Each barrier has different effects on communication
but all of them make communication less effective. Effective communication
can ensure that information is conveyed however barriers can cause
misunderstandings of information.
Language barriers are very common as there are many people in the world and
various languages. It can be difficult for people who speak different languages
to communicate if they don’t know each other’s language very well. It can also
be difficult for people to understand some accents; especially if the person
with the accent has a very strong one. Language barriers can cause a lot of
misunderstandings and can make it extremely difficult to get information
across.
When talking to people who lack concentration it can cause them to miss
information and then they may misinterpret what you have said and make
mistakes. It is difficult for some people to keep concentration all the time and
therefore this creates a barrier when communicating and can cause people to
get frustrated.
Background noise can cause interference and people won’t understand the
information being transmitted. It can also distract the person presenting the
information and cause them to lose track and lose their train of thought. There
are many different types of background noise and all of them can cause
problems when communicating.
There are many distractions that can cause difficulties when it comes to
communication. However, some distractions can’t be helped. Distractions can
happen regularly in everyday life, they can all cause people to miss information
or cause the person portraying the information to lose concentration.
The use of jargon and technical terms can cause people to struggle to
comprehend what is being put across. Different people have different
understandings of things and if you communicate using technical terms and
jargon then it may cause misunderstandings.
