COMMUNICATION

At PIMS, continuous training is given to students to improve their content and communication skills, to build their self-confidence which we formalize as:

• Inter-disciplinary learning
• Learning from sharing respective experiences
• Gaining knowledge of diverse domains

During the training program, our team of professional trainers work on various aspects of each student's communication:

• Vocabulary (10 new words/day)
• Articulation
• Clarity of speech
• Speed
• Accent Training - Removing mother tongue influence

The RAS (Read-Analyze-Speak) technique is used at PIMS to develop the overall communication skills of students. As the acronym suggests, the students have to read a short article or passage, analyze it and then express it in their own words. The aim is to get the student to improve their vocabulary as they will use synonyms or antonyms to explain the passage/article. Levels of difficulty in comprehending depend on the article chosen from e.g. Economic Times, Times of India, Business Magazines, Creative articles form the Internet or even product or movie reviews. This technique also tests the analytic ability as well as the articulation of the students when they express it in front of an audience or during corporate presentations.
