A blessed morning to everyone!

Welcome to the first day of the 3-day webinar-workshop on

improving oral and written communication skills in English.

I am Edward, and it’s my pleasure to be your online moderator for today.

Effective communication is a vital component for an individual, groups, organizations or
institutions to perform their endeavors.

In this 3-day webinar-workshop, we are so blessed that we are joined by expert

communicators and dynamic educators who will help us improve our oral and written
communication skills.

Before we get started, may I request all the participants to check the chatbox. I placed there a
link to a pretest which you need to accomplish. Please follow or open the link in a separate
window. We will give you at least 10 minutes to finish the test. If possible, kindly stay
connected on our zoom meeting or if not, please join again after accomplishing the said test.
Take note that the result of the pretest will inform us about your entry knowledge on oral and
written communication.

There is also a request that if possible you join the webinar individually so that it will be easier
for us to monitor your attendance. Also, please take the test individually.

The time starts now

Hello, dear participants!

Please follow the link and accomplish the pretest for today. Thank you!

The topics to be discussed in this webinar-workshop are very important. These are something
that we all need, myself included, English and Communication. Why? It is because English is
the language of international communication in all areas such as business, religion, politics,
science and technology, media, and art. Having a good command of the language is a clear
advantage as it helps us to communicate more clearly and as a result, we have more
opportunities in life. Having said this, it follows that if we are proficient in English, then we can
communicate more clearly. Let me say that importance of clear communication in our lives
today regardless of the field you are involved cannot be over emphasized. It plays a vital role in
any organization more so in an academic community. It improves efficiency in all activities. It
reduces the frustration which arises from misunderstanding, It promotes clearer and more
structured thinking. It leads to enhance understanding of other people as clear communication
involves putting oneself in another person’s place and it leads to a more effective management
of the business and affairs of an organization. The end of clear of effective communication and
for that matter clear English communication is to build rapport and boost the spirit of
productivity. It builds the discipline of transparency which in turn generates trust among co-
workers. This is the value we all hope to achieve in this webinar workshop.
