B. Com.: Semester II
Objectives:
The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the theory, fundamentals and tools of
communication and to develop in them vital communication skills which should be integral to personal,
social and professional interactions. One of the critical links among human beings and an important
thread that binds society together is the ability to share thoughts, emotions and ideas through various
means of communication: both verbal and non-verbal. In the context of rapid globalization and
increasing recognition of social and cultural pluralities, the significance of clear and effective
communication has substantially enhanced.
The present course hopes to address some of these aspects through an interactive mode of teaching-
learning process and by focusing on various dimensions of communication skills. Some of these are:
Language of communication, various speaking skills such as personal communication, social
interactions and communication in professional situations such as interviews, group discussions and
office environments, important reading skills as well as writing skills such as report writing, note taking
etc.
While, to an extent, the art of communication is natural to all livings beings, in today‘s world of
complexities, it has also acquired some elements of science. It is hoped that after studying this course,
students will find a difference in their personal and professional interactions.
The recommend readings given at the end are only suggestive; the students and teachers have the
freedom to consult other materials on various units/topics given below. Similarly, the questions in the
examination will be aimed towards assessing the skills learnt by the students rather than the textual
content of the recommended books.
