● アカデミック・プレゼンテーション演習（中級Ⅰ）B

034-B-301

This course will provide students with the central techniques necessary for a successful academic presentation in English. There will be a comprehensive examination of the various elements that contribute to presenting a talk in public: background research, concise detailed writing, paragraphing and data inclusion, strength and tone of voice, how to ask and respond to questions skilfully, how to use appropriate body language throughout a presentation, and poster, PowerPoint, and handout creating techniques. All students will be expected to make shorter and longer presentations of around 5 and 10 minutes respectively.
Students are also required to read around and research their presentation materials in order to help them gain a wider understanding of their field.

The central objectives of this course are as follows: to increase a student's confidence in presenting an academic paper in English in public, to research and write in a more concise and informative way, to enable greater accuracy in pronunciation through better diction and voice projection, to demonstrate research results by using visual aids and bodily gestures more skilfully and with greater confidence. Students are also expected to hugely increase their English vocabulary.

Students will be given a wide range of different techniques, advice, and materials enabling their abilities in academic presentation on a weekly basis. Participants will be required to study these techniques closely and prepare for their speeches towards the end of the semester. Research, writing, and the creation of visual materials will all be discussed in detail with students given individual assistance by the instructor.
All students are expected to participate actively in the weekly question and answer interactions with the instructor, which are aimed at helping to clarify the overall purposes of academic presentations.

Students are expected to study closely the weekly texts provided by the instructor intended to improve their abilities as academic presenters. Out of class, private research into an individual subject area is expected for between approximately 40 - 60 minutes a week. As much new vocabulary as possible should be memorised in preparation for the in-class presentation sessions.
