Written communication: Written communication mean sending someone messages, guidance,
information, orders and something important by the using various ways like letters, reports,

Why is this core skill important? Why did I select this skill to reflect on? (use relevant
theories and concepts to support your answer)
This skill also helps me for defining clear goals, for solving problems and solutions. A good and
smart written skill can improve my performance and work style. I can use this skill for influencing
people in my organization. It will also help me for improving my quality of work life.
Theory of communication: Shannon and Weaver theory of communication is a basic theory. This
theory is based on three main aspects i.e. sender, medium, receiver. In this sender is person who
spoke on phone he converts the code into understandable language, medium itself phone and the
receiver is a person who listen other side on phone and decode the message into his brain. By this
theory I can improve my written communication. I can use this theory for read, speak and write.
(Valkenburg, 2017).
Reflect on your current competence regarding this skill. How did you assess your
competence? (use your self-assessment findings, feedback from peers and your tutor, plus
your own reflections on your thoughts, feelings and behaviours to answer this question)
Self-assessment:I found some problems in written communication. Actually I do not explain exact
things and message by the written communication. Messages, written by me not clear to the
receivers, they always have some doubts in it.
Peers Feedback: My peer also analysed that my written communication has grammatical errors.
Peer also told me that I don't form sentences right. My written information are very difficult to
understand because they are unclear and irrelevant. So I tell my peer to help me for improving my
written communication by providing some writing sessions.
Tutor Feedback: My tutor also let me know about my written communication problem. He tells
me to work upon that and improve my grammatical problems. He also tells to more write and read
new books and articles for improving my written skills.
