1) Communication is the exchange of messages between humans and allows for the transfer of knowledge or information. 2) To effectively communicate, messages should be correct, clear, concise, complete, considerate, and concrete. This helps build confidence and allows for comprehension. 3) An English teacher can understand his students through communication by considering their inherent human needs and tailoring his messages and approach accordingly based on principles like Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
