The recommendations of a group of 18 persons on the needs of speech-communication instructors in two-year colleges are presented in this paper. The recommendations of the group fall into two categories: problems which need solving to improve the ability of speech-communication teachers in community-junior colleges to better meet the needs of the community, and steps which the Central States Speech Association (CSSA) can take to promote this problem solution. Some of the problems identified in category 1 include: development of materials to aid remedial students of speech-communication as well as students who use English as a second language; development of ideas, methods, and promotions which will extend the speech-communication teacher into the community to create more student demand for courses at the two-year college; promotion of more forensics tournaments to draw high school students to community-junior college speech programs; and development of workshops to service specific needs of the community. Recommendations in category 2 include: CSSA and State association providing more leadership, promoting exchange between community-junior college instructors and four-year instructors, and publishing a journal oriented to practical concerns of teaching techniques.
