Making Instruction Relevant

Public

Discussion:

Hi Dixie,
You are on the right path with your planning and activities. I hear the same speech from my students. The more you can do to show application and relevancy the greater their appreciation of English skills will be. I collect as you do stories about what has happened as a result of poor communication both oral and written. I share these with my students at key points throughout the course. They like the stories and make the connection about the need for effective communication.
