At BT we're passionate about communication - life's number one skill. Having the ability to be a good communicator is a vital contributor to being a good parent, student, employee and citizen. That's why we're determined to make certain that young people in this country have opportunities to acquire listening and speaking skills and build a solid foundation for their future.

A great deal of research has indicated that being able to express yourself clearly, and understand with equal clarity what others say to you is a fundamental enabling skill of life. Being good at interpersonal communication is strongly associated with educational attainment, acceptable social behaviour, physical and mental well-being, and at the end of the day, job prospects. It makes this a good source to carry out your investigation*.

But research also suggests that the need to encourage the learning of communication skills is of more importance today than it has ever been before. 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 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's site is therefore an ideal place to carry out your investigation of the term communicating and listening teachers resources.
