Abstract

Communication represents one of the oldest phenomena in science. The multiple importance of communication is always conditioned by the intellectual interaction of the individual, by the personality of the teacher and the student. One of the subjects in interpersonal communication in teaching is the teacher. Communication is a factor in the development of the person, because through communication conditions are created for the socialization of the person (respect for others), at the same time it enables individualization, because it gives importance to individual differences, skills and motives. Through the communication process, each student has the opportunity to express their attitudes and values, beliefs, expressing themselves as "I" but also to form them in communication relationships. During the communication process, the student participates as a subject: he develops verbal expression, enriches his vocabulary, forms positive character traits such as self-confidence, courage when expressing his attitudes and thoughts. The quality and flow of teaching communication directly depends on his personality, behavior style and relationship with students. Another determining factor of communication in teaching is the student. Through the organization of the learning process, the student forms his personality, directs relationships and builds the value system. In learning, he gains knowledge, builds skills and affinity, develops his personality. Therefore, every lesson, including learning in teaching, is passed by the individual student. Everything
that is in the lesson is a function of its development. In other words, the success of communication in teaching is determined by the student, mainly the personal characteristics and the experience gained in the family. Also, the success of communication in teaching is determined by the student's attitudes and opinions about the teacher. Success in teaching communication depends on how the student perceives and evaluates the teacher's personality and behavior.
