By the end of this course, the students should be able to prepare 3 to 4-minute English presentations, and they should understand the cultural norms of giving presentations in an English speaking context.
To this end, the students will be required to work on improving their English communication and presentation skills in the following areas as described in the textbook:
1) Creating a confident presentation delivery which utilizes good posture, eye contact, gestures, and voice inflection.
2) Displaying useful visual aids with well prepared slides to support their speech.
3) Writing a well structured speech with a good introduction, body, and conclusion.
概要:
The objective of this course is to develop the oral English communication skills necessary for making academic and professional presentations in English. The course will focus on strategies for creating and delivering presentations, and plenty of English language support will be provided by the textbook and the teacher as needed.
授業の進め方・方法:
Each semester, teams of 3 or 4 students will prepare and perform English presentations. All team members will be graded for preparing the presentations. However, only one team member has to speak for each of these 3-4 minute "Solo Presentations." And, every presentation must be performed by a different team member each time, so that everyone performs a "Solo Presentation" once by the end of each semester (twice in the academic year). For teams of 4, the 3rd and 7th presentations should be performed in pairs, but the same members cannot perform both presentations. That is, Student A and B can perform the Unit 3 presentation, but then, Students C and D from the same group would have to do the Unit 7 presentation. Then, in lessons 14 and 29, all 3 or 4 team members together must perform presentations for Unit 4 and Unit 8, respectively.
注意点:
Active participation in English is essential for completing this course successfully. During this class, being more than 15 minutes late, doing coursework for other professors, sleeping, talking out-of-turn at length, playing smart phone games, and any similar actions that distract one's focus away from class will result in a recorded absence or a required make-up class. Class participation will be graded in combination with each individuals contribution to helping the solo presenters to prepare for their solo presentations.
