課程簡述 This course is designed to help students hone their English public speaking skills and overall English oral abilities on various occasions. The main focus will be mastering chunks and intonation. They will learn about what makes a speech/presentation stand out and common mistakes to avoid. Topics such as proper formats of Powerpoint slides, how to organize the contents of a speech, how to improve their intonation and sound more like native speakers (using an intonation drill I invented), how to maintain good eye contact and good body language, how to avoid using filler words excessively will also be touched upon. Lat but not least, they will have to identify chunks in English audio/video clips.


They will be exposed to Think on Your Feet speech plans so they can give organized responses to any topics right "on their feet." We will use engaging Reddit discussion threads as speaking activities.

A manual compiled by the instructor will be used and shared via Google Doc. Thus, no textbook purchase will be necessary. Speaking and weekly recording assignments will be given (They are called VR--video relays; recording assignments will be done on iLearning). Also, everyone will have opportunities to give a speech or presentation to apply what they've learned in this class.
