ABSTRACT

This study investigates the effects of classroom communication and students’ academic

performance at the Jamshoro College of nursing (JCON), Jamshoro Sindh. This study

involves two lecturers who are classified in their respective sections. The sample size was

of 30 students. Specifically, the researchers are interested in observing the classroom

communication practice of the lecturers involved and the effects it has on the students’

academic performance. The findings of the study show that both lecturers are equally

good in their classroom communication practice. There were no significant effects of

classroom communication and students’ academic performances in the sections involved.

vi
However, students in sections agreed that effective classroom communication is

important in ensuring that teaching and learning take place.
