The agenda:
I. Importance of Oral Communication--
the seminar begins by underscoring the notion that oral comm skills are
important to educated citizens and that the UTC faculty was wise to
identify Oral Comm skills as a general education goal.
II. Oral Communication Competencies--
just what kinds of skills are we talking about when we use the term oral
communication competency?
III. Teaching or Developing Oral Communication Competencies--
identifying strategies, and, ultimately, providing some time for seminar
participants to apply the strategies -- helping students learn to be
better communicators.
IV. Evaluating Oral Communication Competency--
dealing with issues and concerns related to evaluating or grading student
oral presentations. In addition the facilitators will spend some time
giving seminar participants a chance to do some actual evaluating using a
standard form on videotaped samples.
