Communication Competencies in Student Activities
Abstract
This article examines the pivotal role of communication competencies in student activities, emphasizing how they influence academic success, social integration, and overall personal development. Drawing on theoretical perspectives from linguistics, communication studies, and education, the discussion highlights how competence encompasses knowledge, skills, and attitudes. It further explores the necessity of effective interpersonal, nonverbal, and digital communication skills in collaborative learning contexts, leadership roles, and broader community engagement. Critical thinking and reflection are shown to be closely tied to communication abilities, enhancing students’ capacity to articulate arguments, interpret diverse viewpoints, and adapt to multiple modalities. The article also underscores the importance of active listening, cultural sensitivity, and feedback mechanisms in fostering an inclusive learning environment. By illustrating how communication competence intersects with technological advancements and social expectations, the paper presents a comprehensive view of why these competencies must be deliberately nurtured through structured practice, self-assessment, and mentorship within educational settings.
