Communication is an expression of our attitudes, thoughts and beliefs and through communication we can interact with the environment around us. Communication is necessary in many aspects of human life- one of such aspect is teaching-learning process. Both teachers and students should understand each other’s minds and thoughts for achieving learning outcomes successfully. Communication can be verbal or nonverbal and it is required in every classroom, be it primary grade or any professional course. This paper tries to focus on classroom communication in teacher training course and sheds light upon it from the standpoint of Flanders’ Interaction Analysis Categories System (FIACS). The paper also shows how communication can be continued in teacher training course with help of an example.
