Learn Communication Skills Training with Free Lessons & Tips

Greetings to you all!

There are mainly four core skills that will have to be developed in any language which are:

• Listening skill
• Reading skill
• Speaking skill
• Writing skill

Let's look at each of these skills, one by one, to see how they could be enhanced:

1) Listening skill: 

• When someone else is talking, never interrupt.
• Never talk over them, wait for your turn.
• Eliminate distractions.
• Actively listen, and not just hear.
• Clarify your doubts/queries once the speaker completes his/her turn.
• Reflect on the overall discussion.

2) Reading skill: 

• Read with correct expressions.

• Analyze phonics and spellings.
• Use a dictionary extensively to learn more about new words.
• When you learn a new word, think of all its other forms. eg: Beautiful (adjective), beauty (noun), beautifully (adverb)
• Remember that the same word may sometimes be one part of speech, and sometimes another. E.g., That brick(noun) is yellow. Here is a brick(adjective) house.
• New words are more comfortable to remember if sentences are formed using them.

3) Speaking skill:

• Speak slowly, but not too slowly.
• Pause between ideas.
• Carefully articulate and pronounce your words.
• Expand your vocabulary.
• Learn the natural flow of English.

4) Writing skill:

• Punctuation makes a huge difference.
• Grammar matters.
• Practice spellings of unfamiliar words.
• Be wary of the differences between American and British English. We follow British English. e.g., favourite is British English, and favorite is American English.
• Plan and outline the content first rather than to directly spring into action.
