Course Outline and Method

This course aims to develop students’ communication and language skills in order to plan and deliver an effective presentation. Students will be taken systematically through the key stages of giving presentations, from planning and introducing to concluding and handling questions. Presentations will be based on topics found in the readings of English 7 (Media Skills) and research for the presentations will put into practice internet research skills acquired in English 4 (Computer-based Learning Skills). Additionally, students will experience not only how to give an effective presentation, but also how to become an effective listener. Feedback will be provided in class and/or manaba+R. The +R Class will be assigned in Meeting 1 to be completed before Meeting 2.
