This assignment, designed for an Access to Nursing and Health Science program at Level 3, focuses on developing crucial speaking and listening skills essential for academic and professional success. The assignment comprises four main tasks: a paired interview role-play to practice university interview techniques, a group discussion to assess participation and communication, an individual presentation on a nursing-related topic, and a listening skills exercise involving the analysis of peers' presentations. Students are required to prepare questions, provide detailed answers, actively participate in discussions, deliver a PowerPoint presentation, and evaluate their own and their peers' performance. The assessment includes peer and self-evaluation sheets for each task, allowing students to identify strengths and areas for improvement in areas such as clarity, confidence, active listening, and the ability to construct arguments and provide supporting evidence. The assignment aims to enhance students' ability to speak clearly and confidently, listen with understanding, respond to questions effectively, engage in discussions, and understand the strengths and weaknesses of oral presentations, preparing them for further studies in nursing. The document has been contributed by a student for publication on Desklib, a platform which provides AI-based study tools for students, including access to past papers and solved assignments to aid in their learning.
