Wiki - Target event table

LESSON 6

Collaborate: Target event table

If it is not the case, assume that the institutional language at your university is English. Identify and analyse what you think are the six most important target events for an English language lecturer who has to communicate with students and other staff in English.

Collaborate to produce a target event table, mirroring the example in the course:

1. Brainstorm six target events.
2. Draft a table for this English language lecturer.
3. Analyze each target event and complete the table.
4. Prioritize your choice of target events.
5. Contribute at least one target event in your order of priority. If your first choice already appears in the table, add your second choice and so on.There is no limit to the number of target events!
