grammatical mistakes for effective communication. Facts and figures should be correct and relevant to the
                message.
                 • Coherent: The words used should be relevant to the message intended to be sent. It should relate to the main
                topic of the message and the content should flow logically.

                 • Complete: The message should include all necessary information and should be complete in all respects for
                effective communication.

                 • Courteous: The content of the message should be respectful, friendly and honest. The sender should not hurt
                the receiver through the message and at the same time the feedback given by the receiver should not affect the
                feelings and sentiments of the sender.


                       Barriers to Effective Communication


              There can be many barriers to effective communication. Sometimes the sender may not be using precise words
              and content, so the message delivered to the receiver may not be clear. Sometimes the message is misinterpreted
              or the feedback given by the receiver is not appropriate, thus leading to a gap in communication. Let us now study
              in detail the possible barriers to effective communication.
              Physical Barrier


              Physical Barriers are due to geographical or environmental reasons. There are many factors in our surroundings
              which hinder the smooth process of effective communication.
                 • Sometimes the noise of the traffic, music playing around, some machines in a factory, Air Conditioner or cooler
                and other sounds may either interrupt the smooth delivery of the message or lose the interest of the receiver.

                 • If the temperature of the surrounding is either too hot or too cold, then the working environment will not be
                comfortable.
                 • Sometimes, different time zones will create problems in connectivity as one person may be in his working time
                zone and the other may be about to end his day or sleep or have dinner with his family.

                 • Sometimes, long-distance communication using e-mail, fax, telephonic conversation may not be functioning
                properly due to bad weather or internet connectivity issues.
                 • Working environment may not be comfortable due to unhealthy surroundings, poor infrastructure, untrained
                staff, etc. This also hinders the performance of the employees.

              Linguistic Barrier

              The inability to communicate using a language is known as a language barrier to communication. This inability
              may be due to lack of common language, inefficiency to use the language since it is not a mother tongue or
              speaking disability.
                 • An English person traveling to Japan will not be able to interact with Japanese if he doesn't know Japanese.
                 • Sometimes,  people belonging  to different  places may be speaking the  same language  but  have  different
                pronunciation, dialect, meaning and interpretation which may lead to miscommunication, thus altering the
                overall process of communication.
                 • Sometimes, a specific organisation or industry uses certain technical words or symbolic words or jargons and
                slangs which make it easy to communicate. If a new employee joins or is transferred to a new environment, then
                the efficiency of the whole process may reduce due to lack of knowledge of these words.
                 • Some people may have language disabilities such as stuttering, dysphonia or hearing loss while others working
