Preferred term

communication skills theories  

Definition

  • At the very core, communication skill simply concerns the proficiency or quality of one's communicative performance. Just as people's dancing, driving, or chess playing reflects a certain level of proficiency, so too do their various communication activities, such as listening, public speaking, and making small talk.
