This is an online class, and all weeks will be taught on Zoom and using Google Classroom. In this class, you will work in pairs, small groups and individually. You will research and collect information for your topics outside of class. You will organize and arrange your ideas, and prepare visual materials (using PowerPoint or poster paper) to accompany your presentation. Preparation is vital to participate fully and get the most from class time. In class, you will explain your research and ideas. This will enable you to become familiar with your topic and less reliant on a script. Additionally, you will have chances to find the points of interest that need more development, and the places in your work that need further re-thinking and reorganisation. You will also practise a number of important academic skills through listening and note-taking of your own and classmates' topics. These include identifying the key points, re-organising ideas, summarising and reconstructing partner's talks from your notes as well as giving critical feedback. You may be asked to prepare discussion questions related to your topic, and of course, must be ready to answer questions from the audience about your own work. Please come to class ready to participate actively and positively.You may sometimes record your presentations using easy editing software on your phone or PC to share with the class.
