ISSUES TO BE CONSIDERED
• All the instructors think that there should be a
committee and this committee should be in
touch with the book publishers.
• If a new book or material is chosen, this
material must be tested by another university.
• The publisher should have a kind of workshop
which will explain the instructors how to
follow the book effectively.
ISSUES TO BE CONSIDERED
• Controversy: Skills
Integration vs. Skills
Isolation
• Can you really isolate
them?
