Communication 1
THIS COURSE is designed to meet the academic communication needs of students at the tertiary level. It is aimed directly at students entering the Community College. This course seeks to develop the student's ability to participate fully in academic discourse. Emphasis is placed on the development of language in both speech and writing in a variety of contexts. Additionally, the course will strengthen the student's ability to communicate effectively for different purposes.
Focus is also given to the Jamaican Language situation as this will assist students - many of whom are from Creole speaking backgrounds - to achieve greater proficiency in Standard English.
This course is of particular importance because it will expose the students to the principles of the APA referencing style, which are fundamental to the academic writing that will be required throughout their course of study.
