● アカデミック・プレゼンテーション演習（中級Ⅰ）Ｃ

This course will help students to improve their ability to make academic presentations in English. Students will increase their confidence in English communication through researching, talking, reading, writing and presenting about a variety of academic topics.

The above may change. Activities may change according to class size, students' interests and abilities. There is no textbook. Students will be expected to provide their own research materials and prepare visual materials including PowerPoint slides.

In this class, you will work in pairs, small groups and individually. You will research and collect information for your topics outside of class. You will organize and arrange your ideas, and prepare visual materials (using PowerPoint) to accompany your presentation. Preparation is vital to participate fully and get the most from class time.
In class, you will explain your research and ideas. This will enable you to become familiar with your topic and less reliant on a script. Additionally, you will have chances to find the points of interest that need more development, and the places in your work that need further re-thinking and reorganisation.
You will also practice a number of important academic skills through listening and note-taking of your own and classmates' topics. These include identifying the key points, re-organising ideas, summarising and reconstructing partner's talks from your notes as well as giving critical feedback.
You may be asked to prepare discussion questions related to your topic, and of course, must be ready to answer questions from the audience about your own work.
Please come to class ready to participate actively and positively.
