Communication skills become increasingly important with the birth of a child; the capacity to communicate, listen, question and write with clarity and conciseness are required for everyone at some point in their lives. The likelihood is that you will come into contact with a diverse range of organisations and institutions during your life, including shops, businesses and government offices, as well as schools. Good communication skills may make these conversations less stressful. They can ensure that you are able to convey your message calmly and clearly while also considering the reactions. On the other hand, poor communication skills can sour connections at all levels, from the professional to the personal, and make your life much more difficult. Therefore, to ensure that communication skills are learned and applied effectively in most disciplines, it is mandated that they be taught as part of the curriculum in most fields. However, the topic of how to teach communication skills in the classroom emerges in the reader's mind. The difference between the two is that we have only theory on one side and on the other side we have theory followed by practice. However, whether of these two is more beneficial to kids is debatable. This paper entitled Communication Skills: Theory and Practice seeks to determine the most effective method of teaching and acquiring communication skills in the classroom. It is divided into two parts: theory and practice.
