◇ 授業目的：
The aim of this course is to provide you with the skills and confidence
required to speak effectively, in English, at international scientific
meetings.
◇ 授業内容：
The course is intended for M2 and doctoral students, as well as for
postdoctoral staff and junior faculty members. M1 students who wish to
study English should take the ‘Methods of English Communication’
course, which is described elsewhere.
We will look in more depth at the topics covered in 'Methods of English
Communication II': clarity and smoothness of speech, and the relation
between what the audience sees on the screen and hears as you speak.
Additional topics will be the importance of constructing a presentation
that can be delivered in a fixed time period, and how to deal
comfortably with questions from the audience.
You will be asked to prepare an oral presentation, of 10-15 minutes'
duration, based on your own research. This will be a gradual process -
each week you will prepare some new slides to present during the
classes, so that in the final lass you will be able to present a
completed talk. The classes will therefore be a mixture of presentation
and discussion, and you will be encouraged to comment constructively
about one another's work.
