teach and refine oral communicationskills of English language learners (ELL) at Skoltech, a Russian university. The objectivewas to develop disciplinary communication skills in English so that students could presenttheir engineering designs during a rapid prototyping project. A pre/post survey assessedchanges in self-efficacy as a measure of success in the instruction about, practice andperformance of oral presentations. The post-test survey showed a statistically significantincrease in self-efficacy for a majority of the students. Survey data combined with facultyobservation indicates that the communication pedagogy combined with practice waseffective in increasing self-efficacy and in facilitating and refining oral communication skillsfor the

in a real situation or problem that needs tobe addressed and solved,…”.Mourtos8 offered the following link between the learning framework and Student Outcome 3(i)"a recognition of the need for (affective - organization), and an ability to engage in lifelonglearning (cognitive - analysis)". Thus, the potential lifelong learner must at some point in theiracademic career develop value for information that pertains his or her discipline and has a strongenough sense of self-efficacy to be intrinsically motivation to independently learn.Concomitantly, in exploring his or her discipline, the student will face new, ill-defined andchallenging tasks which require concerted, systematic and extended efforts in order to succeedand subsequently graduate

occurring through theseexperiences. One potential solution to this problem is to use the reflections that we havecollected to date to identify what the participants have learned through each of their experiencesand what they would have liked to have learned but have not. These skills and concepts can beintegrated into a self-efficacy pre- and post-test survey instrument (see the work of McKennaand Hirsch10 for an example of a similar effort to measure learning of the design process byundergraduate engineering students). In addition to the summative reflections that we havecollected (i.e., reflections collected after the training has been completed), we shouldcomplement these with more frequent journaling of the experiences using prompts provided
