This workshop addresses three problems that teachers face in online teaching: lack of authentic communication opportunities, boring topics for essays, and difficulty embedding a service-learning component. The first part of the workshop describes the syllabus of the course Purposive Communication: Communication with a Mission. The second part is hands-on practice with embedding SDGs, service learning, and an interdisciplinary approach in syllabus design. The last part summarizes lessons learned from re-envisioning college English.
