'To effectively communicate we must realize we are different in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others.'
— Anthony Robbins —
We are not born with the ability to read and write. These skills are learned. Thriving in demanding work or learning environments requires great English communication skills. We are taught in high school that communication is the process of interchanging ideas in conversations of social interactions. In my case, I always try to add value to others by providing great feedback. If your listeners or readers understand your message clearly, it means you are an effective communicator.
When we think of the world's greatest influencers, the one thing they all have in common is the ability to communicate well.
Taking time to improve your communication skills can be highly rewarding. Being able to communicate more effectively will help you build stronger relationships with the people around you, and get your ideas across successfully.
Tips To Improve Your English Communication Skills
As an out-of-school youth, it's not easy for me to communicate well in English conversation, yet experts in English advised me to follow these basic tips to improve both my oral and written communication skills.
- Watch English Movies
- Read English Novels and Articles
- Practice Writing Journal in English Form
- Learn Sentences Instead of Words
- Listen to Others
- Ask Questions
Note: Your English does not define your intellect, but make sure to speak with clarity and in a neutral accent.
If you want to be a valuable communicator, then you have to develop your English communication skills by speaking in English in the sense that you can communicate well and you be able to take direction from others in the conversation process. I believe by speaking slower, you'll have more time to choose your words, think about your answers, and give the best possible response. Whoever you're trying to communicate with will appreciate that you've tried to select your words carefully.
Thus, improving your communication skills in English is a difficult task, but one that can be achieved with some hard work and by paying attention to how we come across in a conversation.
