It is a simple thing, but I make a very conscious effort to know my students
names by the second week if at all possible. I bring the roster to class
and struggle to remember their names as they ask questions, so they know I
really WANT to know who they are. When they see I mean to be personal with
them, it helps them be personal with me. (I have a colleague who has his
students wear nametags...I haven't gone that far yet.)
I also try to put opportunities to write on quizzes and tests, like "the
most fun thing about this unit was.." or "the most interesting thing I
learned this week was.."
I concur that giving out your email address can be a very effective way to
encourage communication. Students who won't stop by or call will sometimes
email, and a few email exchanges often gives them the courage to stop by
eventually.

During the first and second weeks of the semester I walk around the
room
while they are working on problems and speak to each student
individually.
Students seem more comfortable asking questions after that.
