Course
Description & Objectives
This course is designed primarily
to improve students’ presentation skills and thereby to develop their
integrative English language proficiency. In spring the goal is to acquire basic
presentations skills, including how to organize a presentation, supporting
arguments with evidence, effective use of visual aids, and aspects of delivery
such as eye contact or gesture. Students base their presentations on the
basic patterns taught and learn to speak from notes. More skilled students make
longer persuasive presentations as the term progresses. The class is
conducted in English.
