Goals

Interpersonal speaking (group discussions)

Student goals
Through participating in group discussions, students should:
  • learn how to express their own point of view and perspectives
  • develop awareness of others' points of view and perspectives
  • develop their speaking and listening skills
  • develop strategies for achieving the purpose of the discussion.

Key question for teachers
When assessing students' speaking, the principal question that teachers must ask is "How has this student contributed to achieving the purpose of the discussion?"
