This workshop provides an introduction to the three Communicative Modes (Interpersonal, Interpretive and Presentational).  Participants will reflect on how this definition differs from current practice. Classroom activities on the management of interpersonal communication (negotiation of meaning), interpretive communication (strategies for the teaching of listening and reading), and presentational communication (speaking and writing) will be demonstrated. Participants will identify a personal plan of action for integrating the Communication Standards into their instructional program.
