This course concentrates on developing skills in effectively presenting yourself in English. From this course, you should learn how to organize ideas and use evidence in order to effectively communicate with others.
The course includes three major assignments: (1) evaluation of persuasive communication, (2) a speech to convince or change attitudes, and (3) a speech to motivate.
Class activities will also include lectures on how to prepare speeches, discussion of appropriate topics, presentation of speeches, and discussion of each speech given. Topics will be chosen according to individual interest.

評価方法: Since giving presentations and participating in presentations of others in class is essential, your grade will be based on attendance, active participation, and completion of all speeches and public presentations. There will be no written examinations.
Three unexcused absences will result in lowering your final course grade by 10%. Excessive tardiness (two times equals one absence) will also result in lowering your grade.

テキスト名: No textbook will be required. Lectures and activities will be supplemented by handouts and other material supplied by the instructor.
