A great deal of research has indicated that being able to express yourself well, and to comprehend with equal clarity what others are expressing is a crucially important thing to be able to do. Having good interpersonal communication skills is certainly coupled with educational attainment, acceptable social behaviour, physical and mental well-being, and an individual's job prospects. It means that this is an ideal place to further your exploration*.

However, research also indicates that the need to support the development of communication skills is more important today than at any other time in history. Several possible reasons have been suggested; such as lengthy periods playing videogames and watching TV; the absence of proper conversation within busy modern families; the sound-bite culture of 21st century media; and an absence in society of positive role models.
