Communication Skills are essential for expressing ideas, sharing information, and building strong relationships. Through inquiry learning, students explore how to listen carefully, speak clearly, and understand both verbal and nonverbal messages. Instead of just practicing isolated activities, learners investigate real-life situations where effective communication makes a difference. This approach builds confidence, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities. Whether role-playing conversations, analyzing speeches, or creating group projects, inquiry learning makes communication interactive and meaningful. In this way, Communication Skills become not only a classroom subject but a foundation for lifelong success.
