This paper presents 10 units in an introductory oral communication course which utilize instructional techniques necessary for student success in attaining 15 course objectives. Each unit consists of a goal statement and sections on objectives, content description, enabling activities, and instructional resources. The time frame for instruction suggested in the paper is the first day of the semester to a point prior to the first graded assignment. In the paper's presentation of the units, teaching strategies extend to Unit 10, just before demonstrative speeches are to be delivered by the students. The paper points out that by the time all non-graded presentations have been delivered, students have actively practiced goals and objectives necessary to be proficient in their graded speeches. The teaching tips suggested in the paper serve as a guide to ensure overall class improvement during the term. (NKA)
