Communication Skills

What are the English Language Conversation Skills?

English Language Conversation Skills includes language abilities, conversation skills, social skills, culture knowledge and non-verbal communication skills.

Non-verbal communication skills are classified as posture, body movements, gestures, facial expressions, proximity and eye contact.

In English speaking countries the non-verbal messages can represent from 25 to 75% of the meaning.

Social skills and culture knowledge can be generalized as "what to say, when to say it, where and why to say it, and most important how to say it".

When learning English Language Conversation Skills ESL students must learn: language abilities, conversation skills, social skills, culture knowledge and non-verbal communication skills. Students need everything if they actually want to converse with native English speakers.

ESL Students cannot just learn English vocabulary or English pronunciation as it represents less than 50% of most conversations. See the link to additional information on English conversation skills.
