Communication
ENGLISH – A/B/C
Course Objectives
Effective communication is an essential skill for success in any sphere of activity, from
leadership responsibilities, teamwork, interviews, presentations, and inter-personal
relations. This is a skill that needs to be taught in a systematic manner so that students
imbibe the fundamentals of communication. The art of persuasive speaking and writing
depends crucially on clarity of thought and contextual understanding expressed through
appropriate vocabulary.
The ability to think critically is crucial for a good communicator and involves an
understanding of the communicative process. Therefore, we need to study every stage of
this process systematically in order to be much more effective at communicating
successfully – in interviews, public speaking, letter writing, report writing, presentations,
and inter-personal debates and conversations.
Learning Outcomes
o Students will master the art of persuasive speech and writing.
o Students will master the art of listening, reading, and analyzing. Students will
spend the bulk of their time in class in practical exercises of reading and
writing.
o Students will develop critical thinking skills.
o They will be introduced to established principles of academic reading and
writing.
