Abstract

Faculty in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at the University of Chile constantly seeks to improve the quality of undergraduate education. In this regard, as part of a curriculum innovation process, a new educational curriculum was designed that includes an academic path aimed at developing personal and professional verbal and nonCverbal communication skills both in spoken and written modes of communication. This paper presents the rationale behind the design and implementation of this new academic path. Furthermore, an analysis of the current status of the implementation, which includes an evaluation of this process, is presented.
