INTRODUCTION:
Communication skills are an essential skill for students today, but some students still don't really
care about this issue. Many students still cannot clearly present an issue or their point of view in
front of the class. There are students who think that just focusing on expertise does not need
communication skills. Therefore, besides expertise, it is necessary to focus on developing
communication skills for students.

The problem of students being "afraid to speak" is also worth discussing. During class, when the
teacher gave a lecture, some students sat in the back to talk privately, but when discussing and
asking questions, only a few students were active while the rest sat quietly, not expressing their
opinions: "I'm not confident so I'm afraid to speak up, I still sit still even though I know", "I just want
to say that I'm afraid to speak in front of a crowd",.... Therefore, some students, when they have
questions or have some unclear points in the lesson, are "afraid" to express them to the lecturer,
and finally, "where they don't understand, they still don't understand". There are many friends,
when their name is called, they can't express themselves in a clear sentence, stammering "it's not
that I'm afraid of you, but when I come to this class, I'm worried that she will shake when I call my
name" and no have the habit of expressing opinions and expressing opinions. The lack of confidence
has made students fear that they say the wrong thing, say something wrong, etc. So how can those
students be successful when being interviewed without being able to articulate the questions in
front of the employer? How can you confidently present your creativity in your work, plans, and
projects in front of everyone? It shows that students are lacking both listening skills and expressing
opinions in front of people: not listening to collect information, understanding problems, not
expressing opinions in front of people, "afraid" to speak up.
In order to have good communication skills, students must master the knowledge in this field and
constantly practice and apply it in practice for better communication. It is students who must be
aware of the importance of communication for themselves, study, work and recognize their
weaknesses to always improve, not just "what the school teaches you to learn". Therefore, in daily
communication, students themselves must pay attention to practicing speaking, writing single
words, using appropriate language, knowing how to create and nurture relationships, and practicing
through observation. people, through accumulating experiences in the process of life for better
communication efficiency. Moreover, students also need to pay attention to choosing clothes that
are suitable for their body shape, communication environment, etc. to be more beautiful in the eyes
of people, and create sympathy when communicating with people.
In order to develop confidence, listening, and speaking skills, and to present their point of view in
front of people, students themselves must be aware of their own weaknesses by focusing their
attention while the teacher teaches them to understand the problem. problems, collect information
about the problem teachers are teaching, then they can be contacted to analyze and express
opinions when speaking. When listening, students will discover the problem they understand, the
problem that is still unclear in the lesson, from which they will respond and ask questions to
understand better. At the same time, in order to develop listening skills, students not only focus on
paying attention when teachers teach but also practice daily communication to collect information
and understand the thoughts, wishes, ... of other people. others and at the same time show respect

for those who are communicating with them, from which the communication process will be more
effective.
For speaking skills, students practice giving opinions and views when working in groups, and
discussing learning in class will help them a lot. At first, students can give their opinions and views in
small groups (a few people when discussing) and then gradually expand to present in front of more
people and then give speeches and presentations in front of the class. You also constantly practice
your communication skills through group activities. Students themselves also have to be proactive in
finding teachers when they need guidance to improve their own capacity, constantly exchanging and
asking for suggestions from lecturers to improve their abilities.
Lastly, when teaching, teachers also encourage and motivate students to practice their skills in
expressing their opinions in front of people by listening non-critically, not evaluating when students
express their opinions, instead of letting students express their opinions. Students volunteer to give
group presentations, then assign students to give presentations, and then in the synthesis, the
teachers skillfully let students realize what is right and what is wrong. Before giving presentations to
students in groups, the lecturer should also guide students on how to make a presentation and how
to present it. From there, students will know how to solve and coordinate with group members to
do well on assignments assigned by teachers.
CONCLUSION:
In short, communication is with each of us throughout our lives and has a positive influence on
relationships at work and in life. Therefore, having good communication skills is not only necessary
for students sitting in the lecture hall, but also helps them to be more confident when entering the
job later.
