  • Abstract

    Communication plays an important role nowadays. The transmission and interchange of ideas, facts, and feelings of action are known as communication. It is done through words, actions, signs, objects or combination of all these. Communication skills are needed in each and every field of life. Everyone uses a language to communicate and to express oneself to get ideas and to connect with persons for a purpose. There are four basic skills of learning English language such as speaking, listening, reading and writing. The difficulties in speaking and writing can be found and then improved by some classroom activities by the way of giving task to the students for listening. Teachers give assignments to the learners to develop their writing skills. Cognition refers to the mental activities like thinking, remembering, memory, learning, comprehension, perception, motivation and using a language. The understanding and learning of information and concept is known as the cognitive approach. It is an approach that maintains how a person feels and behaves. Cognitive learning is about developing true understanding and is a way of learning that helps the learners to use their brains more effectively. The configuration of thought processes and psychological activities like problem solving and decision making from early childhood to adulthood is called as the cognitive development.  This article deals with the ways and means of enhancing the speaking skills by intensive practise, writing through different activities and improving the receptive skills of the learners through cognitive approach.
