This curriculum guide aims to provide practical assistance for the teaching of communication skills at all levels of secondary school instruction. Material is organized under four main headings--listening, reading, speaking, and writing. Objectives to be attained in each area are listed along with appropriate activities arranged in increasing difficulty from beginning skills, through intermediate, to advanced. The appendix includes lesson plans, special units (e.g., a "teletrainer" unit, a newspaper unit, an advertising unit), tips for spelling and oral drills, games for developing communication skills, an introductory test, a bibliography, and a list of equipment and materials needed for the learning activities.
