Course Learning Outcomes

Course Learning Outcome 1: Identify, describe and critically evaluate current theoretical assumptions regarding the teaching of oral communication nationally and internationally.

Course Learning Outcome 2: Demonstrate a sound understanding of key theoretical and practical approaches in learning and teaching of oral communication through critical inquiry of professional contexts.

Detailed Assessment Description

Drawing on the theoretical and pedagogical principles you have learned during this course, present a plan for embedding the teaching of oral communication in your subject area and context. If you are not a teacher and do not plan to be a teacher, the plan can be for an intervention in a professional context. Please get in touch with Troy if unsure.

Your assignment should follow the general structure below. Further division in terms of headings and sub-headings is at your discretion.

Part 1: Introducing the context: Needs and challenges (1200-1500 words)

The assignment should include a description of the teaching context and discussion of the importance of teaching oral communication in your subject area and the local context. It should also discuss some of the major challenges to teaching oral communication in this area.

Part 2: The plan (1800-2000 words)

You should first set out the key theoretical concepts and/or principles for teaching oral communication that you believe are useful for grounding the teaching of oral communication in your context. You will then discuss at least three tasks that you think could be successfully and meaningfully implemented to improve students’ oral communication abilities. In discussing the tasks, you should explain what the oral communication focus of the task is, why it is important, and what procedures are involved in implementing it (i.e. what the teacher and students would do). At least one task should be designed with the intention of assessing student performance for the purpose of formative feedback (i.e. formative assessment).

Conclusion (300-500 words)

Please reflect briefly on the possible limitations of your proposal.

This assignment should incorporate a minimum of 10 references. Carefully adhere to APA 7. Please also note that use of generative AI is not allowed in this course. You are only allowed to use non-AI tools such as spell-checkers for ‘simple editing assistance’. Penalties apply to violations of this policy.
