Teacher background reading

Introduction

As the focus of this unit is interpersonal speaking, it is left to students to provide the context, ie their self-chosen research topic becomes the vehicle for skill development. However, a teacher may decide to be more prescriptive to ensure that the research is linked to a larger topic of study eg a literature, media or language study.

For guidance on how to build online Research Modules which will challenge your students to make up their own minds while supplying them with rich information to support such thinking, visit the Online Module Maker . For a video introduction to information literacy, see E Literate .

Assessment

assignment (RTF 32KB)

See the assessment (RTF 12KB) derived from the inter-personal speaking objectives, which need to be shared with and modelled for students prior to their seminar.

The key indicators can be used for peer assessment, teacher assessment or a combination of both. The most powerful assessment tool of all for this unit is to have individuals privately view a videotape of their seminar, checking their own performance against the key indicators for the task.
