Fun Workshop on Communications
April 12, 2007 | Posted by Bun Yue
Readers of this blog probably know my constant emphasis on communications skills for our students. Quick, what is better than acquiring essential communications skill for enhancing your career? …doing so while having a ton of fun.
The NSF scholar organization is sponsoring another free English communications enhancement workshop in May. Here is the gang from the previous workshop last December.
A brief description of the workshop:
“Effective speech and communication are known to be among the most important skills in career advancement. UHCL NSF Scholar Organization has teamed with Dr. Christine M. Paul, the director of foreign language program of UHCL, to conduct a fun-filled workshop to enhance your English speech and communication skills easily through various games, group exercises, role playing, etc. The program is custom designed for students in computing, science, engineering and mathematics to prepare them for future career success.”
I have attended three sessions in the previous workshop myself. Unlike other workshops, this one is fun and not boring. Christine is a very devoted and dynamic instructor who obviously cares about student learning. The workshop appeared to be a sequence of games to me. I wished I had time to attend more sessions. I am not going to give away what games await you. Instead, here are some photos from a session I attended.
The student evaluation from the last session is uniformly excellent. Some comments include: “you are a great instructor,” “This class is good for me,” and “This workshop is really helpful to improve my English.”
The workshop this time will be even better. Students completing the workshop will receive a very useful and memorable gift!
The workshop will be held four days a week (Mon. to Thurs) on May 14th-17th, and May 21st-24th at UHCL Bayou Building 2504, 1;30-3:00PM. With a normal cost of $135, it is free to UHCL students and students from San Jacinto College. Seat is limited to 20 in a first come first serve manner.
Additional information on registration can be found in the workshop flyer.

I’ve been in business for 20 years and I wish someone would have told me how important it is to communicate. I used to think that doing a great job would get me noticed and would be enough. How wrong was I.
