Introduction

Students who go about their days studying at school need a conducive atmosphere to get optimal results from their school learning process. Students who feel comfortable communicating will naturally produce satisfaction in their interpersonal relationships. But several studies suggest the relationship between students and teachers is limited to the learning process and how both of them understand each other can obtain by the success of communication between the two [3]. Schutz mentions that communication is generally base on interpersonal needs, which consist of three categories: inclusion, control, and affection. Six interpersonal communication motives have been identified to explain some of the most common reasons people choose to engage in communication: pleasure, affection, inclusion, escape, relaxation, and control.
