English Language Skills for Commerce and Management

English Language Skills for Commerce and Management is a course book designed for first-semester undergraduate students in the Commerce and Management streams at the University of Calicut. It helps students improve their English communication skills—listening, speaking, reading, and writing—with a focus on real-life situations in business and management. The book encourages active learning through practical tasks, group discussions, interviews, and soft skills development. It follows an outcome-based approach to build confidence, critical thinking, and professional etiquette. The course includes both theory and practicum components, with 30 hours each, and is part of the Ability Enhancement Course (AEC) under the Four Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUGP). This book aims to make students more effective communicators and better prepared for the workplace.
