3: Delivering the Message

One of the most useful aspects of having a real audience in presentational communication is that the audience will provide gaps that students can investigate, understand, explore, and then write about or talk about.

- Paul Kei Matsuda, Assistant Professor of English, University of New Hampshire

help students develop a repertoire of strategies for completing presentational tasks; and
spiral writing tasks as students develop proficiency in the language.
