Abstract | The nationwide problem of declining communication skills is evident in the large numbers of students entering college with deficiencies in reading, writing, and speaking skills. This paper discusses the operation of a communication skills program within a college communication skills center which functions as a supportive resource service and provides students with the basic communication tools for academic achievement and self-image improvement. The discussion focuses on reading, writing, and speech programs, as well as on the staffing of a center, on the selection of students for a skills program, and on the evaluation of a skills program. The paper concludes that the success of a communication skills center may be measured by the number of students completing the program, by the reduction in the college drop-out rate, and by the improvement in test scores of graduate students.
