English
Communication in English takes
place in two ways; verbal and non-verbal. Verbal communication takes place with
the usage of words. Non-verbal communication means expression of ideas
through gestures, eye contact, postures and body movements.
Our Spoken English course is designed to help you achieve a
natural speaking style, as well as gain confidence in speaking
English. With our Spoken English modules, you will talk, practice and
improve your pronunciation and intonation and enable you to debate with fellow
students and make presentations in English.
English grammar is defined as
the body of rules that describe the structure of words, phrases, clauses, and
sentences in the English language. ... Developing a solid foundation in basic
English grammar helps you construct sentences correctly and makes it easier to
improve both your spoken and written communication skills.

Effective communication
Effective communication is about more than just exchanging
information. As well as being able to clearly convey a message, you need to
also listen in a way that gains the full meaning of what’s being said and makes
the other person feel heard and understood.
When we try to communicate with others, many a times, something
goes astray. We say one thing, the other person hears something else, and
misunderstandings, frustration, and conflicts ensue. This can cause problems in
your home, school, and work relationships.
For many of us, communicating more clearly and effectively
requires learning some important skills. Whether you’re trying to improve
communication with your spouse, kids, boss, or coworkers, learning these skills
can deepen your connections to others, build greater trust and respect, and
improve teamwork, problem solving, and your overall social and emotional
health.
Examples of communication
skills
Active listening. Active
listening means paying close attention to the person who is speaking to you.
Adapting your communication
style to your audience.
Friendliness.
Confidence
