Welcome to Fall 2014!



                                 


Hello everyone!  My name is Denise and this semester I am teaching Communication Skills for the Workplace. This class is part of the Vocational Office Training Program (VOTP).   


In this class we will study about cultural diversity and socializing, using a telephone, presentations, meetings and negotiations.  We will concentrate on listening and speaking/pronunciation skills as well as reading, vocabulary and writing.  Every week or more, I will post things here to help you review what we have studied and also other things I think you will be interested in.


If you are taking this class to get the VOTP certificate, you will need to type 45 words per minutes (wpm) by May 2015.  You can take one of our ESL or business non-credit keyboarding classes or you can practice in our 12:15 CALL Lab class.  You can also study on your own time.  Here are a couple of sites:
