At BT we're passionate about communication - surely life's most vital skill. Having the ability to be a good communicator lies at the very centre of being a successful student, employee, parent and citizen. This is the reason we are determined to make certain that the young people of Britain have the chance to develop as expert speakers and listeners, and receive a secure start in life.

A great deal of research has indicated that having the aptitude to convey your meaning clearly, and to comprehend with equal clarity what other people are saying to you is a key life skill. Having good interpersonal communication skills 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 further your exploration*.

However, research also indicates that the need to encourage the learning of communication skills is more important today than at any other time in history. A number of causes have been suggested; such as lengthy periods playing videogames and watching TV; the absence of communication within many of today's busy families; the short-attention-span culture we live in today; and the lack of role models for people to look up to. The BT Better World Campaign website is an appropriate place to further your search for information about the term communication skills for teachers.
