At BT we're passionate about communication - the life skill that's more important than any other. Having the ability to be a good communicator lies at the heart of being a great student, parent, employee and citizen. That's the reason we are resolved to make absolutely sure that the UK's young people get the chance to become expert at speaking and listening and have the stongest possible beginning in life.

Countless research projects have shown that being able to express yourself clearly, and comprehend equally clearly what others are expressing is a vital thing to be able to do. Having good interpersonal communication skills is certainly coupled with educational achievement, positive social behaviour, physical and mental well-being, and at the end of the day, job prospects. This is without doubt a good place to carry out your investigation*.

Research also suggests, however, that the requirement to bolster the acquisition of communication skills is greater these days than it has ever been before. A range of causes have been alluded to; such as too much time in front of the TV and computer; the decline of conversation within the average busy family; the culture of 21st century media built around the sound-bite; and a scarcity of role models who young people can admire and respect. The BT Better World Campaign website is an appropriate place to continue your investigation into the term active listening for primary schools.

As you're about to see, the BT Better World Campaign web site is home to a treasure-chest of material brought together to help you get the most out of every aspect of interpersonal communication. Children and young people will find games which reveal some of the secrets of better communication in ways that are fun and rewarding. Animated presentations and videos explain everything from how you can get the most from your friendships to how to succeed at an interview.

Teachers will discover material designed to support the speaking and listening element of the national curriculum. 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's contents ('parent radio') focused on advice about tackling a few of the trickier aspects of being a parent. In addition to those activities which can be enjoyed on the site itself, there's an extensive range of DVDs and literature that are obtainable for just the cost of post and packaging.
