respective college can use is building strong and effective
relationships with its students as well as a teacher. This

students will be able to understand it.

Introduction Challenges and barriers to effective
communication
Effective strategies for overcoming
communication barriers
Feedbacks – The respective organization, Learn English UK lacks a
proper feedback policy in order to enable the students to share their
problems.
Cultural barriers – Another barrier to effective communication can
be differences in the cultures of students. The respective school is not
able to understand and align its strategy with the language barriers.
Lack of channels – The college does not have an access to a strong
Wi-Fi due to which the students are not able to communicate with
each other in a proper way.
Achieving personal goals – The main goal of Learn English is to
make profits due to which it is not focussing on the needs of students.
Due to this, their overall academic performance is getting affected.
Language barriers – Different students within the respective school
speak different language due to which they are not able to understand
each other.
The importance of cultural
awareness
Cultural awareness is important because it helps in
making people aware about the importance of different
cultures across various geographical location. Another
reason why it is important is because it improves the
cultural literacy skills of employees and also, brings
down the level of conflicts within the workplace. Also,
understanding and becoming aware about different
cultures improves the overall performance as well as
motivation levels of employees. As a result, the staff
members are able to easily adapt themselves to the
culturally diverse environment and become aware about
their rules as well as regulations. Therefore, it can be
said that cultural awareness is of utmost importance
everywhere.

communication is important within an organization. There can be
