If you are referring to the connection of simple household electrical wires, and there is some slack in them, this is easy! You will need to skin the covering of the the wire with a knife first. The easiest way to do this is to carefully carve a small circle around the covering and then slide it off to expose the bare wire. Do this on both halves of the wire and then put the bare wire side by side and twist it. Now cover the twisted part with ELECTRICAL tape, making sure that NO bare wire is exposed. Wrap extra electrical tape around the spliced area to strengthen the repair. If there isn't any slack in the wires, find a piece of wire of the same gauge and just splice it into the gap on both ends as above. I hope this answers your question. If the wires are carrying a heavy load, replace the wire instead.... See discuss question.
