For technocrats and professionals, it becomes all the more necessary to acquire good communication skills as they have to communicate effectively with all their business and professional colleagues. This book on Communication Skills for Professionals, now in its Second Edition, strives to equip the students of engineering and technology with the requisite knowledge of effective communication.

Divided into seven parts, this compact and student-friendly text discusses the various aspects of language such as vocabulary, grammar, verbs, phrasal verbs, voices, tenses, transformation and synthesis of sentences. Besides, the book gives a clear analysis of such skills as writing, reading, listening and public speaking.
