Talked about Self study
Talked about launching oral communication this year.
Discussed attention level of the l.S. students  and need for simultaneous activities.
How do we address short attention span and develop / create speaking activiites to accommodate those students.
– need for speech therapy also an obstacle
– integration of skills, writing, speaking, listening.
Hopefully this year will give us an opportunity to develop strategies and curriculum.
How do we accommodate native speakers and the wide range of levels in our classes.
This year we will explore how we teach oral communication skills in our classes and throughout the divisions.

Future dates for department meetings will be shared.
