General English - presentation skills 1.S3.EP.PP.14
Course objectives:
The aim of the course is to introduce and familiarize students with the appropriate English phraseology of presentations in a variety of genres. They will then be equipped to, in a learning-by-doing environment, collaborate with their peers to produce and conduct their own presentations under observation and constructive critical analysis during classes. A by-product of this process is familiarization with presentation IT technology, the ability to conduct research on a variety of unfamiliar topics and dealing with the fears and challenges of public speaking. The additional aim is to support them in preparation for self-study C1 exam.
