Cíle předmětu
The aim of the course is to give students the basic rules, training and experience to make semi-formal and formal presentations in order to be able to present their research at academic conferences and workshops and/or in their future jobs. Moreover, they will be able to acquire the experience at being an audience, e.g. by focusing on note-taking, asking for clarifications, and offering appropriate questions and comments (giving feedback). Together with written assignments, related or unrelated to their presentation, they will be able to practice all four academic skills, i.e. speaking, writing, listening and reading.
Course objectives:
1. Students will be acquainted with the process of making and delivering a successful presentation.
2. Practising the acquired skills in front of an audience, which will contribute to building students’ confidence.
3. Extending academic vocabulary.
4. Students will learn how to write an abstract, position paper/review and improve their writing skills.
5. Discussions on various academic and non-academic topics.
