Course Outline and Method

In this course, students are required to give presentations based on their research, using their English proficiency acquired through English Ⅰ, Ⅱ, and Ⅲ. Students are to develop their ability to convey information and their opinions precisely and effectively through learning, among others things, structuring presentations, frequently used expressions, effective delivery techniques, and the use of visual aids.
Feedback on quizzes and assignments will be given in-class and/or via manaba+R.

Student Attainment Objectives

- Can give a clear, prepared presentation, giving reasons in support of or against a particular point of view and giving the advantages and disadvantages of various options.
- Can follow extended speech and complex lines of argument provided the topic is reasonably familiar, and the direction of the talk is sign-posted by explicit markers.
- Can take a series of follow up questions with a degree of fluency and spontaneity which poses no strain for either him/herself or the audience.
