Indicative Syllabus
|
Students will be provided with a list of discussion topics at the beginning of the course. In the early weeks, one topic per session will usually be dealt with. Participants will be encouraged to divide up into groups and the initial emphasis will be in promoting fluency. The emphasis will then shift to techniques of oral presentation, leading towards the preparation and delivery of a talk by each group. There will be a revaluation of oral presentation skills before the final assessment consisting of the oral presentation.
