Abstract
The present study is a comparison of communication abilities of teacher trainees and experienced teachers while teaching in classrooms. Based on observation of 15 trainees from Iqra B.Ed.

By employing an independent samples t-test, experienced teachers scored significantly higher than trainees on all the dimensions. The conclusions point out that classroom experience improves communication skills and recommend that teacher education programs incorporate formal communication training in order to improve the preparation of future teachers.
