NUS does not know which aspects of oral communication skills should they prioritize to help their students.
Purpose
To identify aspects of oral communication which is crucial to NUS graduates and recommend curriculum changes for the university to improve on these aspects.
Questions
1) Which aspects of oral communication is the most important in the workplace?
2) What are the elements contributing to effective oral presentation?
3) What are the elements contributing to effective interaction among colleagues and clients?
4) What are employers looking out for in fresh graduates?
Hello!
ReplyDeleteFirstly, do write out your outline of your essay (:
Purpose could also be to recommend NUS to adopt "strategic moves"'s New programmes/implementation.
Your questions are very direct and concise (:

ReplyDeleteHi Liquan, below are some of my comments on your report outline. Hope it helps.
ReplyDeleteI find that you have uniquely identified your problem. Usually, according to the situation provided, I had my problem phrased differently from yours. Both ways should work depending on how you want to tackle the issue.
Next, good that you have a clear purpose. But, I would like to suggest you can be more specified in identifying which department/faculty of the university have the responsibility to improve the curriculum. In this case, your audience would be NUS CELC.
Also, you might want to scale down on some questions as points 1 and 4 seems to be duplicate.
The rest looks fine to me. Good to go!

Hello Liquan!
ReplyDeleteGood questions there. Good to zoom in to the elements that are crucial for effective communication with colleagues and employers, but at the same time it is also good to bring in a broader perspective on how the skills is relevant to life in general.
The problem also includes how to go about implementing the curriculum changes!
All the best for your report writing! :)
