Abstract | The study investigated the communication habits of Cantonese-speaking Form 3
adolescents (N = 200) studying in mainstream secondary schools; as well as their perceived
importance of 14 communication skills. Comparison was made with the targeting frequency
of the skills by practicing speech language pathologists (SLPs) (N = 22) who serve this group
of client. Two questionnaires were constructed with one in paper-and-pencil format for
adolescents and one in web-based format for SLPs. Results showed that the time spent on
face-to-face communication by adolescents was comparable to the time they spent on cyber
communication. Adolescents tended to perceive communication skills that are related to
empathy and addressee-focused as relatively more important to their daily communication;
while discourse management skills and basic language skills appeared to be the main focus of
the therapy by SLPs in their practice. Moderate agreement was found between adolescents’
perceived importance on the communication skills and the targeting frequency of the skills by
SLPs. Clinical implications on speech therapy for adolescents and further research directions
were discussed.
