Pages: 2241-2249
Abstract
Expressive skills are the use of words, sentences, gestures, and writing to convey meaning and messages to others through speaking and writing. These skills enable learners to be able to express their wants and needs, thoughts and ideas and be able argue a point of view. In this descriptive-quantitative study, this aimed to determine the expressive skills’ needs of the BSHRM Students in terms of Speaking and writing skills. The data reveal that the respondents often need to enhance their expressive skills as these are important skills which they should master as part of their career. More so, the result of this study could serve as baseline for an effective communication skills curriculum for children. Thus, there is a need to develop the expressive skills of students from their early childhood education. These skills are necessary to form thoughts and express them using appropriate word and grammar combinations. This may also include gesturing and facial expressions, especially in early childhood.
