Course • Develop in students the required knowledge, skills, and judgement
Objectives around human communication that facilitate their ability to work
collaboratively with others.
• Enable the students to understand and practise different techniques of
communication. Through this course, they will familiarise themselves
with different types of communication. Enhance the employability of
students by developing in them the required skills of communication in
English, so as to enable them to: 2 i. Speak correctly, intelligibly and
fluently as well as to listen and comprehend accurately when spoken to,
so as to be able to communicate effectively and with confidence in a
variety of social, academic and work-related situations; ii. Read and
comprehend accurately the various kinds of written texts which they
may be expected to deal with; iii. Write effectively in a number of
different genres (forms) of writing, relevant to social, academic and
work-related needs;
• Develop interpersonal skills and the attitudes required for effective
functioning in different social and work-related situations.
• Provide cognitive and cultural enrichment through exposure to a variety
of humanistic learning experiences. General Pedagogical Principles 1.
Instruction will essentially be activity-based. Each session will provide
a variety and range of activities, pitched at different levels of linguistic

8|Page
 competence. Group activities will be encouraged. The links between
theory and practice will constantly be exemplified and highlighted.
Theoretical inputs will be provided, as far as possible, in a non-technical
manner. 2. Periodical tests may be conducted to assess skills and
application of theoretical principles and not recalling information from
memory. The skills of Listening and Speaking may be tested through
oral examinations in the classes, depending on time and scope. 3. An
inventory of available software, including audio/ audio-visual materials
should be made, and the use of such materials be standardised across
all colleges. If necessary, software tailored to the requirements of the
program should be produced in collaboration with appropriate agencies.
4. Although portions of selected texts will be used to develop the skills,
a teacher is free to use material recommended by the experts. 5. The
course cannot be effectively implemented unless all instructors are
properly oriented. It should be ensured that orientation programs are
organised before the curriculum is implemented. Handbooks must be
produced and made available to all instructors. 3 6. Workshops for the
development of instructional materials by members of college faculties
should be organised periodically, as a part of on-going orientation.
Attention
The course drives away the myth that communicative competence in a
language is honed, built and effectively practiced by learning and
mastering the grammar, phonetics of a language or appropriating the
accent and structures of the native tongue. Rather it is an adaptation
with equal blend of the first language and the context in collaboration
with the foreign tongue achieved by suitable use of texts from
literature. So the teachers as well as students are advised to use as much
literary texts as possible from the texts prescribed and other sources
for providing an exposure to the students to be aware of the truth that
literature enables skilful communication. The examination questions
will be set according to the texts and topics prescribed.
