At BT we're passionate about communication - surely life's most vital skill. Having the ability to be a good communicator lies at the heart of being a successful student, employee, parent and citizen. That is why we're fully committed to making certain that the young people of Britain have the opportunity to develop their speaking and listening skills and get the best possible start in life.

A substantial number of research projects have shown that having the ability to express yourself properly, and comprehend equally clearly what the people surrounding you are saying is a fundamental enabling skill of life. Being skilled at interpersonal communication is strongly associated with positive social behaviour, mental and physical well-being, educational achievement, and ultimately employability. This is without doubt a good place to continue your study*.

But research also suggests that the need to support the development of communication skills is of more importance today than it has ever been before. A number of causes have been suggested; including long periods of time watching TV and playing videogames; the absence of proper conversation within busy modern families; the short-attention-span culture we live in today; and the shortage of positive role models in society. The BT Better World Campaign's site is therefore an ideal place to carry out your investigation of the term communicating and listening education.

You'll find that the BT Better World Campaign web site holds a wide range of material designed to enable you to get the most out of interpersonal communication. For young people and chidren there are games that reveal secrets about good communication in an entertaining way. Videos and animations explain everything from how to ensure your friendships are rewarding to how to come across well in an interview.

If you're a teacher you'll find information to support the teaching of the speaking and listening part of the national curriculum. There's also help for those interested in applying for the financial awards that BT offers to schools. Last but by no means least, parents are catered for, with part of the site called 'parent radio' dedicated to tips and hints about handling some of the more challenging angles of parenting. In addition to online activities, the site provides access to a range of DVDs and literature which can be yours for no more than the cost of post and packing.
