SHORT-TERM GOALS :* Adopt the use of computer
technology in the Classroom especially in presenting key points of the lesson;
* Develop better questioning strategies that will motivate critical thinking among students especially in the listening and reading skills;
* Promote collaborative learning among students to develop work efficiency in each other to complete assigned tasks faster.
INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIESAND TASKS :
1. Assign students to make an 5 minute presentation on any topic relevant to their course major using a multimedia presentation to apply the lesson on the 4 basic
communication skills.
