Welcome to the class. Today we will talk a little about the semester and practice presentation skills.
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.
