It is imperativethat collegestudentscanspeakand write correctly. A college student should possess characteristics inspeakingand writing in order to maintain an adequate grade in college. College students are also held at a higher standard for many different reasons. If someone whocannotspeakor write adequately has a degree,thenthe importance ofspeakingand writing seems almostnon-existent.Speakingand writing is imperative to graduate college due to the importance ofspeakingand writing in everyday life.Most careers require adequatespeakingand writing skills for the job itself.Writing has been found to improvestudentperformance across a variety of disciplines (Herrington, 1981; Fulwiler, 1984). Writing often will improve every class a student takes and will also aid in speaking.Every jobtodayrequires some form of communication whether that be in person orthrough the internet.All business professions, even those that many would expect to require little writing, place a high premium on written communication skills, and many employers “specifically identify communications skills as a job requirement”; even when not explicitly listed, there is a “strong assumption that the requirement is implicit” (Krapels& Davis, 2003, p. 90).It is imperative to college students to learn how to speak and write adequately to progress in all career fields. When a college student speaks to their professor or classmates the student needs to be able to communicateadequatelyand without issue. Practicing speaking and writing skills will aid when a student begins reading as well.Allthese skills tie into different communication techniques to help college students thrive in college and with their career paths as well.
