The primary aim of this course is to allow students to further develop their presentation skills, which they begun in 1st year. They will be conducting academic presentations on a variety of topics, and in the process developing the skills necessary for successful and effective presentation, which they will be able to utilise later in their career.
The goal is for students to improve their basic presentation skills; voice, gesture, language usage and eye contact. Additionally, they will learn about making an effective argument, using sources and critical analysis of a topic.
＜授業の方法＞
