This goal is including one to one interaction, public speaking, making good power point presentations and possessing a command over voice modulation, eye contact, vocabulary and fluency. These all can be termed as the sub goals to be accomplished.

2- The goal can be accomplished in a planned manner with respect to a timely framework and by achieving objectives that are SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time bound). Time period for this should be one year fragmented into 15 days to one month for each sub goal depending upon the significance of the topic and nature of the activity.

The phenomenon will start with learning grammar, and proceed further with verbal communication, extempore, group discussions, debate, essay writing, letter writing, email and report writing etc. for written communication.
