● アカデミック・プレゼンテーション演習（中級Ⅰ）Ｂ

The aim of this course is for students to practice and develop ability in giving presentations on subjects they are studying in other classes. Students will prepare and give presentations three times during the semester, and while preparing presentations will learn essential skills that will increase effectiveness and confidence: how to differentiate between formal and informal presentation; how to organize your material and how to use your notes while speaking; how to begin well and how to conclude; how to retain the interest of listeners; how to relate to your audience; how to pace your presentation; how to ask good questions and answer them appropriately; how to be polite and at the same time express a strong point of view; and how to use voice, body language and facial expression to help your presentation work. From time to time we will watch video examples of successful presentations in various fields, discuss why they are effective, and learn from them.
Each student presentation will be about ７ minutes, and will be followed by time for questions and answers.

１	Introduction to the course. What is a good presentation? Outline and aims of first semester presentation projects.
２	“Why I Chose to Study［my subject］”：Students will begin to prepare presentations on their reasons for choosing to study a particular field, or topic. This will be an exercise in giving reasons, speaking with passion about a favourite subject and conveying enjoyment to listeners, and using visual materials such as books, graphs, photos, and physical objects to illustrate points. It is your opportunity to introduce your academic interests to the members of your class.
３	“Why I Chose to Study［my subject］”：preparation session.
４	“Why I Chose to Study［my subject］”：presentations.
５	Presentation follow-up session. Self-evaluation and feedback on presentations; re-presentation/improvement session; discussion of video examples.
６	Book report: beginning preparation. The aim of this presentation will be to encourage listeners to read a book you consider important, related to your subject: for example, an introduction to your subject, a book on a significant issue, a biography, etc. You may use the book itself, illustrations from the book, and/or a poster in your presentation.
７	Book report: preparation.
８	Book report: presentations.
９	Presentation follow-up session. Self-evaluation and feedback on presentations; how to improve.
10	Pair presentation: beginning preparation. Each student will find a partner whose academic interests overlap with his/her own, and they will prepare a joint presentation, deciding how to divide their subject matter for maximum effectiveness and deal with it as a team.
11	Pair presentation: preparation.
12	Pair presentations.
13	Pair presentation follow-up session. Partners' self-evaluation and feedback on presentations. Concluding discussion: problems in presentation, strengths and weaknesses. Final activity.

15	Independent study

The emphasis will be on active and vigorous student participation in the various types of presentations planned, and all related activities.

Assessment will be based on level of preparation and presentation, on participation in all in-class activities, and on attendance.

1. Attendance and active participation are essential. Three unexplained absences will result in failure. 2. Students are expected to evaluate their own efforts and achievement after each presentation.

There is no textbook. Students will be expected to supply their own materials for making posters.
