Communication Skills Questionnaire

Motivated students tend to be successful learners; it's therefore vital to determine which skills are most important to students and in which aspects of communication they believe they need the most help.

This questionnaire allows students to establish which skills they would like to focus most on in such categories as: Conflicts (e.g., handling misunderstandings), Conversational Skills (e.g., maintaining and effectively shifting eye contact), Dating (e.g., asking someone out), Practical Skills (e.g., ordering food in a restaurant), and Non-Verbal (e.g., understanding personal space). It allows educators, speech-language pathologists, and therapists to better understand which skills are higher priorities to individual learners and provides insight into skills their students feel they need the most assistance with. Simultaneously, the questionnaire helps increase students' self-awareness while providing them with contextual information regarding the options of skills on which they can focus.
