The emphasis in this investigation is to develop the communicative competencies especially listening and speaking competencies of first year engineering students through intervention strategies. The study presents a framework of Communicative Competencies developed by the investigator. The frame work will serve as a basis for training the engineering students� communicative competencies in order to achieve success in the modern highly competitive global work arena
