At BT we're committed to communication - a skill that's probably the most vital of all. Being an effective communicator is central to becoming a great student, parent, employee and citizen. That's the reason we are resolved to make absolutely sure that the UK's young people have the opportunity to develop their speaking and listening skills and get a start in life that's as strong as possible.

A substantial number of research projects have shown that being able to convey your meaning clearly, and comprehend equally clearly what others say to you is a crucial life skill. Being skilled at interpersonal communication is strongly associated with affirmative social behaviour, mental and physical well-being, educational progress, and ultimately employability. It makes the site an effective way to continue your study*.

Research, however, also shows that the requirement to bolster the acquisition of communication skills is more vital now than it has ever been previously. A range of factors have been blamed; including too much time in front of the TV and games machine; the absence of proper conversation within busy modern families; the short-attention-span culture we live in today; and the absence of positive role models. The BT Better World Campaign's site is therefore an ideal place to look further into the term educational sites.

As you're about to see, the BT Better World Campaign web site is home to a treasure-chest of material brought together to help you get the most out of every aspect of interpersonal communication. Younger visitors to the site will discover games which teach about better communication in a way that's fun and entertaining. Videos and animations show you everything from how to get on better with your friends to how to succeed at an interview.

As a teacher you're likely to be interested in material designed to support the teaching of the speaking and listening part of the national curriculum. You will also find a description of financial awards which schools can apply to receive from BT. Also included are parents, with part of the site's contents ('parent radio') focused on hints and tips about tackling a few of the trickier aspects of being a parent. In addition to those activities which can be enjoyed on the site itself, you'll find an extensive catalogue of literature and DVDs which can be yours for just the cost of post and packaging.
