    Communication is a vital part of our everyday life, personal as well as professional. At the work place especially, a person's communication skills can make the difference between successfully leading a team or closing a business deal, and failing to achieve an objective because of lack of clarity in conveying the goal to team members or clients. Hence, lessons in communication skills have come to form an integral part of our education programme. Contemporary Communicative English for Technical Communication has been designed specifically for BE and BTech students of the WBUT, and provides a comprehensive coverage of the basic grammar rules of the English language as well as plenty of samples of organizational communication. Beginning with strategies on how to enhance listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, it goes on to provide examples and exercises on vocabulary acquisition, reading comprehension, organizational communication and making presentations.
