Course Overview

The Open Source Basic Communication Skills course is designed to build foundational competencies in verbal and non-verbal communication, with a strong emphasis on English language proficiency for academic and professional success. This course serves students and early-career professionals aiming to strengthen core skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. It is particularly beneficial for roles such as customer service representatives, administrative assistants, and entry-level corporate executives who rely on clear and effective interaction. According to industry reports, over 75% of employers rank communication skills as the most critical factor in hiring decisions across sectors, underscoring the demand for structured training in this domain.

Participants engage with key components including phonetic pronunciation using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), active listening strategies, job interview techniques, and formal writing practices such as drafting emails, resumes, and meeting minutes. The curriculum integrates hands-on practice through role-playing exercises, group discussions, and presentation simulations conducted in classroom-based and digital learning environments. A key project involves preparing and delivering a professional job interview presentation, complete with a tailored CV, cover letter, and PowerPoint slides, simulating real-world hiring scenarios. These activities are supported by structured modules covering grammar, vocabulary building, reading comprehension, and business correspondence, ensuring a comprehensive skill development experience.
