What is BT is passionate about? Communication - a skill that's probably the most vital of all. Possessing the ability to communicate effectively lies at the very centre of being a good parent, student, employee and citizen. This is the reason we are determined to make certain that young people in this country get the chance to become expert at speaking and listening and get the best possible start in life.

Many pieces of research have suggested that being able to convey your meaning clearly, and understand with equal clarity what other people are saying to you is a vital thing to be able to do. A proficiency at interpersonal communication is strongly associated with educational attainment, acceptable social behaviour, physical and mental well-being, and ultimately a person's employability. It means that this is an ideal place to continue your study*.

Research also suggests, however, that the requirement to ensure that communication skills are developed is greater these days than it has ever been before. A range of causes have been alluded to; including too much time in front of the TV and games machine; the lack of proper conversation within hectic modern families; a 21st century media culture centred on the sound-bite; and the lack of role models for people to look up to. The BT Better World Campaign's site is therefore an ideal place to carry out your investigation of the term effective communication skills.

BT's Better World Campaign web site is a treasure-chest of material assembled so you'll discover how to get more from communication. For young people and chidren there are games that unearth the secrets of better communication in a way which is fun and thought-provoking. Videos and animations explain everything from how to ensure your friendships are rewarding to how you can perform well in an interview.

As a teacher you're likely to be interested in material designed to support the speaking and listening element of the national curriculum. There are also details of how to apply for the financial awards which BT offers to schools. Last but by no means least, parents are catered for, with the 'parent radio' section of the website devoted to advice for those faced with some of the more demanding parts of being a parent. In addition to those activities which can be enjoyed on the site itself, you'll find a wide range of literature and DVDs that are obtainable at a cost of no more than the price of post and packing.
