Goals 1. To develop oral proficiency in English and communication skills in various public speaking settings. 2. To develop skills to research and effectively organize arguments. 3. To develop critical thinking skills and attitude toward society. Non-native speakers of English must face various problems when they make a speech in English. Two major problems would be, 1) how to pronounce English, 2) how to continue speaking English without a speech script. Non-native speaker of English tend to maintain accents of their native language when they speak in English. Although these accents sometimes hinder communication, it is also very difficult to erase them completely and acquire native-like accent of English language. It would be an ideal if they could speak in English without any written speech text, but in fact, their command of English may not be as mature as that of native tongue. This course provides students with a chance to think about these problems to conceptualize what is a proper English pronunciation and articulation and how to‘survive’ in an English public speaking setting as a non-native speaker of English. This course also covers basic research methods and organization methods of ideas for those who have not taken any public speaking courses before. Course contents 1. Reading assignments and class discussion. We will discuss such issues as purpose of public speaking, how to survive in public speaking and other related topics in English for your better understanding of the issues. Reading materials are provided for the discussions. Students are expected to read them prior to attendance to class. 2. Speech practice Each student will have 3 chances to speak. Each speech will be followed by question and answer session. (１) Self-introduction (This speech will not be evaluated for your grade.) (２) Persuasive speech: A speech to persuade the audience to change their attitude and take a certain action. This speech will be carried out individually. (３) Informative speech: A speech to inform the audience so that they will have better understanding about an event, object, method, etc. This speech will be carried out as a group of two or three students. 3. Self evaluation Each speech will be video recorded. Students are supposed to watch their performance of persuasive speech on the video and write a critique about it. This activity will help you understand and improve your weak points about your speaking manner. Self Evaluation Sheet will be provided. |
