Metacognition
3.1 demonstrate insight into their strengths and
weaknesses as listeners and speakers, and
practise the strategies they found most helpful
before, during, and after listening and speaking
to improve their oral communication skills
(e.g., identify the environmental conditions that
help them listen effectively; explain how they
adjust their presentation strategies to reach a
culturally diverse audience; assess their timemanagement
and self-motivation strategies
when preparing for a presentation and adjust
as necessary)Teacher prompts: “How is your learning style
reflected in your presentation style?” “How
do you adapt your learning style when listening
to different kinds of presentations and
other oral texts?” “How do you plan your
presentation to anticipate the types of questions
the audience or teacher might ask?”
Interconnected Skills
3.2 identify a range of their skills in viewing,
representing, reading, and writing and explain
how the skills help them improve their oral
communication skills (e.g., identify the oral
communication skills they will require for postsecondary
education and write an action plan
that addresses their identified needs; explain how
deconstructing literary texts helps them create
oral texts)
Teacher prompts: “How does your ability to
read for subtext help you understand and
respond to audience needs?” “How can you
use your understanding of text construction
to create more effective oral presentations?”
