At BT we're committed to communication - a skill that's probably the most vital of all. The ability to communicate well lies at the heart of being a great student, parent, employee 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 build a solid foundation for their future.

Many pieces of research have suggested that being able to convey your meaning clearly, and comprehend equally clearly what other people are saying to you is a crucially important thing to be able to do. Being skilled at interpersonal communication is strongly linked to positive social behaviour, mental and physical well-being, educational achievement, and ultimately employability. It means that this is an ideal place to further your exploration*.

But research also suggests that the need to encourage the learning of communication skills is greater today than ever before. Several possible reasons have been suggested; too much time watching TV and playing videogames for example; the absence of proper conversation within busy modern families; the culture of 21st century media built around the sound-bite; 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 communication skills.

You'll find that the BT Better World Campaign web site holds a wide range of material assembled so you'll discover how to get more from communication. Children and young people will find games that unearth the secrets of better communication in an entertaining way. Online animations and videos will show you everything from how you can get the most from your friendships to how to perform effectively in an interview situation.

Teachers will find material to support the speaking and listening part of the curriculum. You'll also find details of the monetary awards that are available to schools from BT. Parents are included too, with the 'parent radio' section of the website devoted to tips and hints about handling some of the more challenging angles of parenting. As well as online activities that are immediately accessible, you'll find an extensive catalogue of literature and DVDs which can be yours for the cost of post and packaging alone.
