to repeat the sounds that she makes to understand how fundamentals is the urge to communicate.
Communication, at its simplest, is the act of transferring information from one place to another. It may be
vocally (using voice), written (using printed or digital media such as books, magazines, websites or emails),
visually (using logos, maps, charts or graphs) or non-verbally (using body language, gestures and the tone
and pitch of voice). In practice, it is often a combination of several of these. Provide the students an
opportunity to explore its ability in the four pillars of communication. Moreover, the students can develop
their open-mindedness and learn to consider issues from other perspective, express their own opinions on
issues of global importance, gain an independent world-view and become global thinker and raise awareness
and take action on issues to develop their thinking skills towards the 21 century.
