=Communication Applications - Main Page=

The curriculum framework provided by the Texas Education Agency describes the State's goal for the Communication Applications course as: "For successful participation in professional and social life, students must develop effective communication skills. Rapidly expanding technologies and changing social and corporate systems demand that students send clear verbal messages, choose effective nonverbal behaviors, listen for desired results, and apply valid critical-thinking and problem solving processes. Students enrolled in Communication Applications will be expected to identify, analyze, develop, and evaluate communication skills needed for professional and social success in interpersonal situations, group interactions, and personal and professional presentations. For high school students whose first language is not English, the students' native language serves as a foundation for English language acquisition and language learning."
