community development studies regarding the development of their students’ communication skills for
<span class="text_exposed_show">study and work in these industries. We will discuss some implications of these lecturers’ beliefs about their students’ capabilities and potential with regard to teaching methods and workforce development. We will also examine
some common communication practices in Timorese tertiary classrooms such as mixing languages, translating technical terms into Tetun, and using multimodal communication. The seminar will include recommendations for faculty and institutional leaders to consider
and discuss, such as increased collaboration between language support programs and faculties.</span></span></span></p>
