The objective of the course is to help students to become more confident and effective presenters in English. As such, the course will focus primarily on students' speaking and listening skills in both formal and less formal situations. The course will be broadly split into two areas: 1) Effective presentations 2) Additional communication skills Students will engage in a wide variety of individual, pair and group activities, in addition to focused listening activities, associated with each of these areas. At the end of the course, successful students will be able to confidently present on all manner of topics; field and respond to questions on their presentations; engage in small talk before and after presentations; and also have the negotiation skills required to follow up on their presentations' goals.
This class will follow a flipped classroom approach to learning whereby small groups of students will lead the teaching for one half of the class each week. This will allow the students to have a greater control over the content of the course and focus on skills which will improve their employability after graduation. The second half of each class will be lead by the teacher and will put an emphasis on student focused activities.

Students should be aware that attendance is mandatory for all parts of the course. Final grades will be calculated upon the following: Participation & Attendance (10%) Self study (10%) Teaching Activity (20%) Oral presentations (60%) As the main objective of the course is to improve English speaking and listening, great emphasis will be placed on the effective oral production of English. This is reflected in the weighting of grades given to oral performance.
