In writing and speaking assignments, we specify an audience that is a person or group other than the teacher. For instance, in the final presentation for an ethics course in which students explain and take a position on an ethical issue of their choosing, they are asked to imagine a community or professional audience that would benefit from a better understanding of the ethical issue they are exploring. They design their presentation in a way that meets the interests and level of understanding of that audience. Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07990627431664282254noreply@blogger.com
