- Abstract
This paper attempts to explore the possibilities of developing communication skill of engineering students through reading and audio-visuals materials. In the present paper, the students of an Engineering institution were taken as subjects to help them develop communication skills through cognition. Two kinds of activities were used to develop their communication skills. In the first type of activity, the students were asked to watch a documentary clipping and to answer two important questions. This exercise enabled the students to use the English language without worrying about the errors they might commit. In the second type of activity, the students were asked to read from a selected piece of material and interpret the material they read. The results show that these two materials helped them to enhance communication skills of the engineering students.
