D.Ed. (Educational Psychology) / Communication is an important and essential part of human life. In this study the necessity and impact of Invitational Communication in classrooms is researched. Communication in classrooms permeates the entire educational process. Academic excellence, conceptual and perceptual development of pupils as well as positive interpersonal relationships are all areas which are directly affected by the quality of the interpersonal communication between teachers and their pupils. Effective teaching therefore, must take cognizance of the importance of interpersonal communication in classrooms. Invitational communication which is based on Invitational Education concepts (the perceptual tradition and self-concept theory), is instrumental in developing unrealized potential of all participants in the teaching process. What teachers believe about their pupils will influence their behaviour towards pupils, especially their communicative behaviour. It is through this communicative behaviour that teachers have the ability to develop human potential or to destroy it. Invitational Communication provides teachers with an acceptable educational stance for interrelating with others in the classroom context. This stance is based on Intentionality, Respect, Trust and Optimism.
