You'll find that at BT we're passionate about communication - surely life's most vital skill. Having the ability to be a good communicator lies at the heart of being a great student, parent, employee and citizen. That is why we're fully committed to making sure that young people in the UK get the chance to become expert at speaking and listening and get a start in life that's as strong as possible.

A great deal of research has indicated that having the aptitude to convey your meaning clearly, and comprehend equally clearly what other people are saying to you is a crucially important thing to be able to do. Being good at interpersonal communication is definitely linked with physical and mental health, socially desirable behaviour, educational attainment, and ultimately employability. The result is that this is a good place to conduct your research*.

Research, however, also shows that the requirement to ensure that communication skills are developed is greater these days than it has ever been before. A number of causes have been suggested; too much time watching TV and playing videogames for example; the decline of talk within the busy modern family; a 21st century culture which may appear to undervalue dialogue; and a scarcity of role models who young people can admire and respect. The BT Better World Campaign website is an appropriate place to carry out your investigation of the term active listening counselling.

As you're about to see, the BT Better World Campaign web site is home to a treasure-chest of material put together so you'll be able to get the most from communication. Younger visitors to the site will discover games that are designed to explain the principles of good communication in a way which is fun and thought-provoking. Videos and animations explain everything from how you and your friends can get on better to how to come across well in an interview.

As a teacher you're likely to be interested in material designed to support the part of the curriculum devoted to speaking and listening. There are also details of how to apply for the financial awards that BT offers to schools. Parents are included too, with part of the site called 'parent radio' dedicated to hints and tips about tackling a few of the more demanding parts of being a parent. As well as immediately accessible online activities, the site provides access to a range of DVDs and literature that are obtainable for the cost of post and packaging alone.
