I teach communication skills to the students of Engineering, Applied Sciences and Pharmacy at Charotar University of Science & Technology<\/a> where it is possible to have ICT tools in every session for helping students be better learners.<\/p>\n

While teaching a course called Communication Skills – 1 to the students of Pharmacy in the academic year 2009-10, I made students sit in the computer laboratory of the institute for their practical session in Communication Skills.<\/p>\n

For teaching them Grammar, Vocabulary & Pronunciation, I utilized BBC Learning English web contents. I preferred to use those contents because of three reasons:<\/p>\n
