Communication skills, attitudes, ethnicity, university education

The purpose of this study was to ascertain if ethnicity and short English courses (less than two weeks) were related to undergraduate management students’ perceptions of communication abilities. It also attempted to ascertain if attitudes ought to be connected in any way to the results of communication skills assessments. 123 participants from two cohorts of management undergraduates—first-year (n = 53) and second year (n = 70) students-who completed the Communication Skills Attitude Scale in the Faculty of Management Studies and Commerce of the University of Sri Jayewardenepura in Sri Lanka in 2023 were included in a cross-section survey design. The participants were drawn from pre-tertiary education backgrounds with varying language media and belonged to the three major ethnic groups in Sri Lanka: Sinhalese, Tamils, and Muslims. The results were compared to the measurements of attitudes. The negative attitude differed significantly. There was no discernible variation in opinions regarding communication abilities based on ethnicity. When compared to other students, students from the Tamil medium education system had more negative attitudes, with a mean score of 14.7. Regarding the evaluation results, there was not meaningful prediction regarding the opinions of the students. Initial results from the modest sample size point to suggestive links that call for more research using a larger number of participants and backgrounds that are proportional to short English courses.
