Abstract

Recently, a growing number of young people, especially college students, are encountering the term ‘communication skill’. Most of the students who start participating in recruiting activities tend to be instructed to develop their communication skills by various kinds of media such as newspaper or magazine articles. At the same time, they seem to be inclined to be preoccupied with the image or illusion the phrase could create. This paper deals with a discourse of ‘communication skill’ instead of pursuing any effective method to have students acquire the ability.We attempt to articulate a diversity of utterances or discourse practices which would help construct a dominant discourse. This preliminary survey of a particular discourse is one step towards deconstructing powerful discourses that could force us to think or act against our own will.
