Designed for advanced non-native speakers working
in professional contexts, this course focuses on
the development of clear, effective presentation skills
in English, with specific attention to the accurate use
of American English sounds, stress, and intonation.
Students will present to small and large groups, learning
how best to organize information to gain and keep
audience attention. The goals are to develop confidence,
fluency, and accuracy when presenting in English. Two
presentations per student will be recorded for analysis
and personalized instructor feedback. Students may
also complete individual audio recordings for further
instructor feedback.
