ABSTRACT

This chapter explores how to enhance facilitators' own communication skills; increase their knowledge base with regard to communication skills theory and research; improve their communication teaching and facilitation skills; and maximise the status and reward of undertaking such teaching. Facilitators face three agendas in their training: enhancing their own personal communication skills; increasing their knowledge base about communication skills theory and research; and enhancing their communication teaching and facilitation skills. Communication skills teaching are labour intensive. Experiential group work, which is essential to this teaching, requires one facilitator for every four to eight learners. One-to-one teaching requires even more facilitators. Furthermore good communication skills teaching is an ongoing process - many inputs are required of the numerous facilitators involved. Before considering how to overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of establishing comprehensive facilitation training programmes, it is helpful to look at several different approaches to faculty development for communication skills teaching and learning.
