2.2.1 Language is a tool for communication. We communicate with others, to express
our ideas, and to know others’ ideas as well. Communication takes place, where there is
speech. Without speech we cannot communicate with one another. The importance of
speaking skills, hence is enormous for the learners of any language. Without speech, a
language is reduced to a mere script. The use of language is an activity which takes place
within the confines of our community. We use language in a variety of situations. People
at their work places, i.e. researchers working either in a medical laboratory or in a
language laboratory, are supposed to speak correctly and effectively in-order to
communicate well with one another. Any gap in commutation results in
misunderstandings and problems.
