2.1 COMMUNICATION SKILLS – II

L T P
3 - 2
RATIONALE

Interpersonal communication is a natural and necessary part of organizational life. Yet, communicating
effectively can be challenging because of our inherent nature to assume, overreact to and misperceive
what actually is happening. Poor communication or lack of communication is often cited as the cause of
conflict and poor teamwork. In today’s team-oriented workplace, managing communication and developing
strategies for creating shared meaning are crucial to achieve results and create successful organizations.
The goal of the Communicating Skills course is to produce civic-minded, competent communicators. To
that end, students must demonstrate oral as well as written communication proficiency. These include
organizational and interpersonal communication, public address and performance. The objectives of this
subject are understanding how communication works, gaining active listening and responding skills,
understanding the importance of body language, acquiring different strategies of reading texts and
increasing confidence by providing opportunities for oral and written expressions
