The title of this course, "Presentation" gives a clear sign of its main content format: you will analyze content, prepare for and do presentations weekly in front of the class.
The contents of the presentations will be various but they will all be based on common communication scenarios, for example, meeting people, storytelling, asking for help,
offering suggestions, and so on. Although the presentations will mostly be solo, you will do most of your preparation and practice for them in groups or pairs.
In fact, much of the content of your presentations will be summarizing and reporting on the content of pair or group interaction that happened in class or outside of school.
Thus, as part of getting ready for your presentations, you will also have many opportunities to practice communication. In short, this course aims to benefit two important
skill areas at the same time.

1. You will gain much experience and acquire confidence in speaking English in front of an audience.
2. You will improve your ability to combine your current English speaking ability with brief written prompts, in order to express yourself publicly.
3. You will acquire knowledge of communicative patterns to increase your confidence and ability in face-to-face communication.

Participation 70%*     (*you cannot receive participation points for classes which you do not attend, with the exception of excused absences.)
In order to obtain a full participation score for each class, you must make a sincere attempt at any tasks given and must complete your weekly presentation. Note: repeated lateness without good reason will result in participation points being reduced.

Semester review 30%
Towards the end of each semester, you will have to do your weekly presentations again. You will receive up to 30% of your final grade for successfully completing
this review session.

Where class time is insufficient for you to complete your preparation, you will be required to complete it for homework
When no specific homework is given, I still encourage you to review each class in your own time, if possible.
