Many pieces of research have suggested that being able to convey your meaning clearly, and to comprehend with equal clarity what the people surrounding you are saying is a key life skill. Being skilled at interpersonal communication is strongly associated with educational achievement, positive social behaviour, physical and mental well-being, and ultimately employability. The result is that this is a good place to find out more*.

However, research also indicates 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 proper conversation within busy modern families; a 21st century media culture centred on the sound-bite; and the shortage of positive role models in society. The BT Better World Campaign's site is therefore an ideal place to continue your investigation into the term active listening skill.
