Tips to Have Good English Skills

So many call center agents still lack English skills and that's why some callers could not understand what the agent is saying albeit he or she wants to help out. Here are some tips so call center employees can have good English speaking skills.

1. Talk to all sorts of people - it will enrich one's mind by getting lots of different knowledge and learning new words every time. Talk to some who has a different job than yours and you will be surprised as to how much fresh information you are getting from other people, things that you are not aware of.

2. Read magazines and books - broaden your mind by reading books of other topics like philosophy, history, science, travel, religion finance and others that you can find in bookstores and libraries. You can ask a salesperson or a librarian to help you get a good book with lots of information to feed your mind with. The wider of topics you read, the bigger your vocabulary of words get, and the better it gets, the greater chances of you talking to your callers in a much comfortable manner.

3. Use the dictionary - the one-all and the be-all of word source because not only it gives you meaning to a specific word, it also tells you its origin or etymology, and it tells you how to pronounce it and it also tell you other synonyms of that particular word.

4. Track down new words - whether you read a newspaper or an article, if you see a word you're not familiar with, write it down, get to know the description and use it yourself. There is always the dictionary to help you out.

5. Listen to good speakers - listen and see how they say words that you have never heard of before. Gather information on how they interact with their audience and how audiences respond to them. Do they use effective words or not? Write down tips on how they say things concisely and what appropriate words to use.
