At BT we're passionate about communication - the key enabling skill of life. The ability to communicate well lies at the very centre of being a winning employee, parent, citizen and student. This is the reason we are determined to make certain that young people in this country have the chance to develop as expert speakers and listeners, and receive a secure start in life.

A great deal of research has indicated that having the ability to express yourself properly, and understand with equal clarity what other people are saying to you is a key life skill. Being skilled at interpersonal communication is strongly associated with educational attainment, acceptable social behaviour, physical and mental well-being, and the ability of an individual to get employment. This is without doubt a good place to further your exploration*.

But research also suggests that the requirement to bolster the acquisition of communication skills is more vital now than it has ever been previously. A range of factors have been blamed; including too much time in front of the TV and games machine; the absence of communication within many of today's busy families; a 21st century culture which may appear to undervalue dialogue; and a scarcity of role models who young people can admire and respect. BT's website campaigning for a better world is a good place to further your search for information about the term active listening skill practice.

The BT Better World Campaign web site contains a wealth of material assembled so you'll discover how to get more from communication. Younger visitors to the site will discover games that unearth the secrets of better communication in an entertaining way. Online animations and videos will show you everything from how you and your friends can get on better to how to perform effectively in an interview situation.

Teachers will find material to support the teaching of the speaking and listening part of the national curriculum. You'll also find details of the financial awards which BT offers to schools. Parents are included too, with part of the site called 'parent radio' dedicated to advice about tackling some of the trickier angles of parenting. As well as immediately accessible online activities, there's an extensive range of DVDs and literature which can be obtained for the cost of post and packaging alone.
