The ability to share your message and communicate clearly with others meaningfully, is valuable in life.

This course is designed to give you the opportunity to develop your listening and speaking skills through a focus on podcasting. We will listen to, and critique, the podcasts of others, as well as create our own. You will have the opportunity to choose an area of personal interest and create a regular podcast series around this.

This is a 10 week course run over both 2.1 and 2.2. The first few weeks will have a focus around listening and the second part of the work will focus on speaking. Students who are not signed up for both of these blocks may not be able to have all learning outcomes assessed. This course is designed for students who might reasonably expect to be working at a year 8 or 9 level.
