There are many factors that can be used to improve teacher performance, one important factor is a teacher's communication skills. The communication in question is the communication process carried out by teachers and students in the classroom. Teachers are not only required to communicate well, but also use correct grammar so that there are no multiple interpretations by students. These communication skills are included in eight teacher teaching skills, namely skills to open lessons, skills to close lessons, explanation skills, skills to provide variations, skills to provide reinforcement, skills to manage the class, skills to guide small group discussions, skills to manage the class and skills to teach small groups and problems.
