Introduction
Communication is an essential process in our lives, and it's important to
understand what barriers can potentially prevent effective communication. In this

address them.
We'll also discuss ways to ensure successful communication. By the end of this
lesson, you should have a better understanding of barriers in communication and
how to ensure successful communication. Let's get started!
What is communication
barrier?
Communication barriers are any factors that prevent us

from effectively exchanging and understanding messages.
They can be physical, cultural, linguistic, or emotional,
and can occur within or between individuals, groups, or
organizations.
Why should we care?

Language
Barrier
Language barrier in communication is a difficulty
or obstacle that arises when people who speak
different languages attempt to interact. This can
prevent people from understanding each other and
lead to misunderstandings, frustration, and even
conflict.
The language barrier can be caused by a lack of

knowledge of the other person’s language, or a
lack of proficiency in both languages.
Physical
Barrier
Physical environmental barriers refer to any
physical limitation that can interfere with the
communication process. Examples include noise,
poor lighting, distance between speakers, and
physical obstructions between speakers.
Other physical environmental barriers include

technology issues, such as poor signal reception
on mobile phones, or a lack of access to
technology, such as the internet or computers.
Emotional
Barrier
An emotional barrier in communication is a
psychological barrier that prevents people from
fully expressing their emotions or feelings to one
another. This can be due to a lack of trust, fear of
vulnerability, or difficulty in understanding the
other person's point of view.
Emotional barriers can interfere with effective

communication and lead to misunderstandings and
conflict.
Cultural
Barrier
Cultural barriers to communication are the
differences in language, customs, and beliefs that
may exist between people of different cultures or
societies. These barriers can prevent people from
understanding each other, leading to
miscommunication and misunderstanding.
Cultural barriers can also lead to cultural clashes,

which are disagreements or conflicts caused by
differences in beliefs and values.

exchanging and understanding messages.
• Language barrier in communication is a difficulty or obstacle that arises

when people who speak different languages attempt to interact.

barrier to communication. Have each group brainstorm
scenarios in which these barriers could prevent successful
communication between two people.
Allow each group to present their scenarios to the class.

As a class, discuss strategies for overcoming these barriers
and promote effective communication.
