in an improved mode and also to take appropriate action for enhancing the communication. In
simple terms, the term communication refer to a spreading of knowledge and information among
people which viewed as a foundation for healthy human relationship, In regard of professional
context, each students is in desire of acquiring high achievements in their life. Hence, for
attaining the same they make an initiative to acquire deeper understanding of particular topics,
improved level of knowledge with an intent to accomplish impressive level of career
development ( Dilek and Keskingöz, 2016). However, by conducting such report, I was able to
analyse my own strength and weakness which help me to developed as a best learner in my
academic ground. However, as per my personal analysis I have been identified that I have poor
communication skill, lack of confidence, weak in social ground. Due to which, I came across
through various problems that directly impact over my educational course. Hence, there are

various ways which I discover within my academics premises in order to tackle over m,y
weakness in an improved manner. Some of them are group discussion, presentation, attending
seminars, taking part in management games, attending workshops or conferences and many
more. However, with the proper usage of these activities it lead me to enhance my drawbacks

Hence, by the proper utilisation of different methods, it assist not only to improve my
skills but also benefited me to acquire impressive level of success and achievement for future.
Some of the componnets which is discussed below that signifies about the reason behind
practising different ways of improving my shortcomings like presentation, group discussion and
so on. Some of them are mentioned below:
Helps in learn from teachers: For achieving higher growth and development, students
need practical and deeper knowledge about their subjects which they are learning in schools or
universities. However, for better learning form teacher, a students should be able ton ask queries
related to subjects so that they can explore the information in an effective way. Most of the
pupils just limits themselves from asking because of fear, hesitation, lack of confidence and
many more. However, an effective communication skill assist pupils to understand the point if
view of teachers in the class and also empower them to impose questions with full confidence in
order to gain knowledge.

students is that it drive them to develop their career growth. However, clear conversation about
skill, knowledge, objective vocabulary in words while interacting during interviews, confident
physical expressions aid students to acquire better job which enrich their personality in a positive
style (Forbes and et.al., 2014).
Enhancement in teamwork and collaborative attitude: In an academic performance,
collaborative work requires for completing certain project or task for which there is a
requirement of transparent communication ability. However, in order to obtain better outcome,
impressive and clear conversation empower student to put their full contribution in a high level
of cooperative and collaborative manner.
