Without a doubt, at BT we're totally passionate about communication - the life skill that's more important than any other. Having the skills needed to communicate well is central to becoming a good parent, student, employee and citizen. This is the reason we are determined to make sure that young Britons have the opportunity to develop their speaking and listening skills and get the best possible start in life.

Many pieces of research have suggested that having the aptitude to convey your meaning clearly, and to understand equally clearly what others are expressing is a crucially important thing to be able to do. Being skilled at interpersonal communication is definitely linked with positive social behaviour, mental and physical well-being, educational achievement, and an individual's job prospects. The result is that this is a good place to find out more*.

But research also suggests that the need to support the development of communication skills is greater these days than it has ever been before. Several possible reasons have been suggested; too much time watching TV and playing videogames for example; the lack of proper conversation within hectic modern families; a 21st century culture which may appear to undervalue dialogue; and a scarcity of role models who young people can admire and respect. The BT Better World Campaign website is an appropriate place to carry out your investigation of the term activities to improve listening skills.

You will soon see that the BT Better World Campaign web site includes a wealth of material designed to enable you to get the most out of interpersonal communication. For young people and chidren there are games which reveal some of the secrets of better communication in ways that are fun and rewarding. Online animations and videos will show you everything from how to get on better with your friends to how to do well in an interview situation.

Teachers are catered for by support material for the objectives of the national curriculum regarding speaking and listening. You will also find a description of monetary awards which BT makes available to schools. Last but by no means least, parents are catered for, with a section of the site called 'parent radio' dedicated to hints and tips about tackling a few of the trickier angles of parenting. As well as online activities that are immediately accessible, the site holds a catalogue of DVDs and literature which can be obtained for just the cost of post and packaging.
