foremost barrier to communication in the school.
Both the schools are situated on busy streets with a

Another barrier of communication is that Learn

friends as well as family members at home. The
communication process is also affected because the
students are unable to hear the teacher during
winters.
 Lack of cultural activities – Lastly, the students
feel that the school does not conduct cultural
activities regularly. Due to this, they do not get a
chance to interact with each other and integrate
better into the British society.
 Develop sound proof classrooms - One of the
strategies that can be adopted in order to overcome the
communication barriers is to develop classrooms that
are soundproof. This will allow the students to focus
on what the teacher is saying.
 Effective training - Also, the staff members should be
provided training in 10 languages that are used
globally. This will help in overcoming the challenges
(9 Steps to Overcoming Language Barriers in the
Workplace, 2020).
 Install good Wi-Fi – Installing a good speed Wi-Fi is
another strategy that can be implemented in order to
overcome the barrier to communication.
 Conduct cultural activities – By conducting cultural
activities, the management of the school will be able
to encourage effective communication between the
students as well as the teachers. Cultural day should be
organized.
