The main results concluded a moderate practice of effective communication skills by the faculty members. The verbal communication skills came first, followed by non-verbal communication skills, and then written communication skills came last. Faculty members expressed a number of purposes for practicing verbal communication such as: easiness, effectiveness, relevant to the scientific material that focuses on comprehension, saves time and effort, creates a friendly learning atmosphere, promotes other skills, and provides feedback. Whereas, faculty members practiced nonverbal communication moderately as it; promotes and supports verbal communication, decreases students’ boredom. However, they avoided nonverbal communication when students did not participate and when referring to different cultural attributes between faculty members and students. Faculty members stated that they have avoided written communication due to a number of factors like; time wasting, requires technology, boredom of their students, hinders learning, impedes personal communication, does not provide immediate feedback, and the students’ weakness in the English language.
