ED 3620-99 COMMUNICATION PRACTICES
This course covers both interpersonal and group communication skills necessary for adult learning. It teaches students to express thoughts and ideas in clear, well-defined terms in oral, print, and digital contexts. Emphasis is placed on developing skills in active listening, public speaking, and small group facilitation, as well as in understanding the variables that affect human communication. Participants are encouraged to identify their own communication challenges through study, research, presentation, and self-reflection.
This is a three semester-hour course offered in a hybrid format (including on campus classes) to students in the Certificate of Adult Education and Adult Education focus of the BEd program(s). This course is offered Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 4:00pm, from July 12 to July 16, 2021.

In all instances, qualified applicants on the UPEI Sessional Roster of the Faculty of Education will be given priority.
