A2I Video Clip 7: Preparing for weather emergencies

When asked about how people might prepare for weather emergencies, the student’s ideas are expressed with little grammatical structure or cohesion, requiring the listener to work to understand the student’s meaning. You may want to watch the video several times and note your observations about the student’s oral communication skills.
