| dc.description.abstract | With the world of work changing at a rapid pace, professional accountants need to adapt their traditional role to ensure relevance in the future workplace. Communication skills are among the most important competencies for future professional accountants. However, recent accounting graduates' communication skills are lacking, indicating the need to develop communication skills at a higher education level. Despite this need having been researched and expressed for several years, limited research is available on the teaching interventions and assessment tools that are effective in developing accounting students' communication skills. While several interventions and assessment tools have been researched, no consolidated framework is available which identifies and assesses the most effective and useful teaching interventions and assessment tools, which could also be informed by research in fields similar to accounting, such as engineering. This study seeks to fill this gap. An extended, systematic literature review in both fields was performed to identify useful teaching interventions and assessment tools to develop students' communication skills. These studies were categorised and analysed to develop a framework of effective teaching interventions and assessment tools that accounting educators can use to develop their students' communication skills. | |
