Course contents
Communication skills in English
Effective Communication Skills in Englishbrings to the fore each and every
grammatical aspect needed for English language usage. In this Endeavour, this topic
makes elaborate discussion on diction, discourse, words, sentences, syntax, writing
skills, paragraph and research paper writing, exactness, appropriateness, fallacies,
vocabulary, mechanics, clarity and numerous related topics. In addition, presents ideas
of learning English language through practical experience of vocabulary development,
dramatic interpretation and mass media.
