Course description
This course aims to improve each student’s ability to plan and deliver effective presentations in English. Students will also continue to develop their speaking fluency and communication skills in English.
Expected Learning
Objectives:
・Students should develop the ability to research, plan and organize effective presentations in English.
・Students should develop the ability to confidently deliver presentations in English, using clear speech, body language, and visuals.
・Students should improve their speaking and listening skills through interaction with classmates.
・Students should be engaged in student-to-student interaction for the majority of the lesson.
Course schedule
This class teaches basic presentation skills needed for any public speaking, including presentations in seminars and conferences. Students will write, memorize and present speeches to the class on a variety of topics relating to science and technology. Each assignment is longer and more complex as students build their skills and become more confident with speaking in front of a class in English. Emphasis in this class is on effective communication, not perfection.
- We will follow the textbook, focusing on creating the Physical, Visual and Story Message of a speech.
Prerequisites
Required Text(s) and Materials
Speaking of Speech, New Edition by David Harrington & Charles LeBeau, Macmillan Publishing

Please bring dictionaries to all classes.
Assessment/Grading
Grades will be based on student speeches given throughout the semester. Students must attend at least 2/3 of the course in order to receive credit. However, because all assignments are graded based on in-class presentations, missing the performance days or not adequately preparing may also cause students to fail this class.
Final grade will be an average of project and test grades plus 15% for attendance and participation.
