Communication skills have become one of the employability skills in current scenario. The communication skills of today’s engineering professionals are considered to be in the beginner level (in Tamilnadu, India) in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) that is to test the ability of individual’s language proficiency. This may be due to the lack of interest in enriching the listening and speaking skills.
