Teaching methods
Students will prepare a 15-20 minute ppt presentation on the topic related to their doctoral thesis. The presentation can be based on a conference paper or a paper already published in conference proceedings / journals, or designed specifically for the purpose of the subject. The aim of the presentation is that students prove to be able to present their work to their colleagues and Language Centre teachers/testers clearly, bearing in mind the non-expert nature of the audience. A Q&A session will play an equal part in the final assessment of the performance.
Assessment methods
Language - C1-C2 CEFR level is expected. Students will be evaluated on aspects such as fluency, accuracy, organisation, range and complexity of language. Presentation skills - among others, students will be assessed on aspects such as ability to attract attention to their topic, structure the presentation, deal with questions from the audience or the visual aspect of their presentation.
