Rationale: This curriculum was designed using a needs-based approach to address performance gaps identified through pre-assessment interviews and self-report data. Communicative Language Teaching and Task-Based Language Teaching were selected to emphasize authentic, high-stakes communication aligned with real-world interview performance. Assessment methods prioritize observable behaviors and applied skills rather than knowledge recall, ensuring alignment with workforce-readiness outcomes.
