ESL Module Timeline
The ESL materials prepared
for this Negotiation Module, take about 16 hours of classroom time. The actual
negotiation occurs outside of the class as part of homework assignments and
takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Below is a map of activities
that gives a general sense of how much time each activity may take. Please note
that at the beginning of each class in Part B & C the students should read
their negotiation journal in small groups. The objective of this activity is
twofold:
- practice of oral communication
skills,
- sharing of negotiation
experiences and bringing to the teacher's attention any problems that may
occur.
