At BT we're committed to communication - surely life's most vital skill. Being an effective communicator is a critical part of being a winning employee, parent, citizen and student. That's why we're determined to make sure that young Britons have opportunities to acquire listening and speaking skills and get a start in life that's as strong as possible.

Many pieces of research have suggested that being able to express yourself clearly, and understand with equal clarity what those around you are saying is a crucially important thing to be able to do. Having an aptitude for interpersonal communication is strongly associated with positive social behaviour, mental and physical well-being, educational achievement, and ultimately employability. It means that this is an ideal place to further your exploration*.

Research also suggests, however, that the need to encourage the learning of communication skills is more vital now than it has ever been previously. A number of causes have been suggested; too much time watching TV and playing videogames for example; the absence of communication within many of today's busy families; a 21st century culture which may appear to undervalue dialogue; and an absence in society of positive role models. The BT Better World Campaign's website is a good opportunity to continue your study of the term active listening lesson plans.

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. Young people and children will discover games that unearth the secrets of better communication in a way that's fun and entertaining. Online animations and videos will show you everything from how you and your friends can get on better to how to come across well in an interview.

Teachers are catered for by support material for the speaking and listening part of the curriculum. You will also find a description of the financial awards which BT offers to schools. Last but by no means least, parents are catered for, with the section of the site called 'parent radio' devoted to advice for those faced with some of the trickier aspects of being a parent. In addition to those activities which can be enjoyed on the site itself, you'll find a wide range of literature and DVDs which can be yours at a cost of no more than the price of post and packing.
