The existence of the human beings mostly depends on language. Most of the activities of the people need the use of language. The English Language communication has become an influential factor for the majority of the people in the present globalized world. So, all most all the educational institutes are giving much importance to train their students in English Language Communication Skills (ELCS). Training is always learner-centered instruction. The role of a teacher in ELCS is a mere facilitator. As English is not mother tongue for the learners who learn English as a second language, effective environment should be created in order to make them participate actively in learning English language and possessing communication skills. Criticism and very strict learning environment can never make the learner learn English language skills. Using humour makes him feel good and instills confidence to learn and communicate in English. This paper exposes the need of humour in ELCS training.
