| Description: |
Grammatical errors can hinder successful spoken communication. Speakers can communicate more effectively when they utilize the appropriate modal verbs (such as should, might, must) to convey obligations and suggestions. In this workshop, attendees will review and practice modal verbs in the context of giving instructions and corrective feedback. An optional assignment for extended practice will be available on Canvas.
Learning Outcomes: Participants will be able to...
1. Employ modal verbs (such as should and have to) in the feedback process, conveying constructive criticism and suggestions using appropriate modals.
2. Plan and communicate clear and unambiguous instructions using appropriate modal verbs to convey obligations, recommendations, and suggestions effectively. |
