Skill Enhancement Course-I & II (SEC-I & II)
SEC-I
COMMUNICATIVE ENGLISH
FULL MARKS: 100

The purpose of this course is twofold: to train students in communication skills and to
help develop in them a facility for communicative English.
Since language it is which binds society together and serves as a crucial medium of
interaction as well as interchange of ideas and thoughts, it is important that students
develop a capacity for clear and effective communication, spoken and written, at a
relatively young age. The need has become even more urgent in an era of
globalization and the increasing social and cultural diversity that comes with it.
English, being a global language par excellence, it is important that any course in
communication is tied to an English proficiency programme. The present course will
seek to create academic and social English competencies in speaking, listening,
arguing, enunciation, reading, writing and interpreting, grammar and usage,
vocabulary, syntax, and rhetorical patterns.
Students, at the end of the course, should be able to unlock the communicator in
them by using English appropriately and with confidence for further studies or in
professional spheres where English is the indispensable tool of communication.
