Findings
Weaknesses
For group communication group learning is important for each and every group member. It
refers to intercommunication with number of people to achieve a certain objectives. In group
communication skill lack of formality is one of weaknesses. Formality refers to how well one
can convey one’s point of views, follow standard communication language etc. Maintaining a
formality while communicating with superior or in an important team work plays a vital role.
As an example: “Due to poor condition of weather we are sorry to inform that the delivery
will be delayed.” This example is included with more formal tone. On the contrast, the
delivery will be late due to bad the weather is an example of informal tone which should be
avoided in practices. Sometimes we use too much formality in communication. By this, the
writer makes the conversation complex to understand for the readers .Thus create
misconducts among the number of member in a group or team works. Based in this, maintain
proper formality is a weakness of a group communication skills. (Popkova, 2019)
Another weakness in a group communication skills is E-mail writing. E-mail is a formal
channel of performing communication. An e-mail should include writings which are not
irrelevant to the topic and should be short and concise and rigidly defined. An e-mail contains
blaming or gossiping is not a formal e-mail .Because it has no place in e-mail. If the subject
of the e-mail remains unclear and the first sentence is not relevant to the main purpose of the
topic, it creates several problems among group members. Ignoring proper subject writing in
an e-mail is one of weakness in e-mail writing. Before sending e-mail ,the writer should think
about an accurate subject according to the topic which he or she want to convey .This will
help the receiver to get the exact point from the email . So from the above discussion e-mail
writing is a weakness of better communication skills in a team work. (Verma and Pande,
2014)
Strengths
The main strength of proper communicating in a group is language. There are about four
language skills in communication such as reading, listening, speaking and writing .These
skills allow us to understand and convey information for perfuming proper and effective
interpersonal communication. Language can be in form of oral-written or active-passive.
Using active form language always a good practice of language communication. Because
active sentence provide direct and straight information. Such as, “A poor woman won a
lottery.” A receiver can easily be able to understand the main purpose. In some cases passive,
passive voice could be an effective way of communication to avoid giving appraisal or
blame. Such as,” black kites are protected by law.” Language skills combine all the four skills
altogether not focusing on only one. Language skills not only improve multi-tasking in team
work but also improve decision making criteria Language enables us to entrance knowledge,
draw to conclusions, to set and obtain goals. By using language we also come to know about
the complexity and solve the problems of barriers. (Language Skills Development:
Developing Speaking Skills at Undergraduate Level using a Smart Phone, 2015)
One of the best strengths of a group communication skills are paragraph structuring. In a
group work are divided among all the group members. An effective communication indicates
mutually respect and positive understanding among team members. Paragraph is a group of
sentences that talks about a single or unique topic and describe the surroundings of that topic.
In an effective paragraph, there must be a beginning topic sentence that describes the main
idea of the topic and keep a consistent flow. Generally a paragraph contains three structure
such as topic sentence, supporting sentences and finishing sentences. Following this
structures the reader can easily take the positive attention of the readers. And the readers can
also understand the main idea which the writer want to make them know. The topic sentence
means topic and opinion of the idea. It doesn’t mandatory to be the first sentience of the
paragraph. As an example, “There are plenty of benefits to buy a hybrid car.” Secondly
supporting sentence is the midpoint of the paragraph containing explanation, proven and
enhancement of idea from the topic sentence. A conclusion sentence indicates is the finishing
piece of writing .It Considers such words that marks the end of your paragraph. It reminds the
reader the main idea of the paragraph. As an example, the low running expenses and
ecological advantages of buying a hybrid car meaning it is likely that people will follow
Alex’s example in the near future. As this is indicates the group communication skills in
writing and convey proper information following the above structure to work on a thesis or
report or in an article. (Index: Paragraph 39 (2016), 2016)

in a group. It contains formality-mail writing, language skill and paragraph structuring. By
explaining these example the report come to an end that in which part the group is performing
accurately and in which part that need improvement . Effective communication is vital to
achieve bot academic and career goals. Without proper skill it would be very difficult to
convey and share thoughts, ideas among persons to persons. The more we communicate
properly, the better we feel. Communication may break down as a result of many
communication barriers that may be attributed to the sender or receiver. Communication may
interrupt because of some barriers that should be proof read or fixed from senders to
receivers. So finding right channel and techniques of communication and use them properly
