Outline and objectives

Being able to take command of a room and speak confidently in front of other people is a vital skill, but one many people have difficulty with. The primary aim of this course is to build confidence and competence in public speaking, with the main focus on the preparation and delivery of two kinds of speech: informative and persuasive. This course will not only have relevance in an academic sense, but the skills learned can also be applied in both business and social settings.

Goal

Upon completing this course, students will have gained:
•Competency in identifying and analysing basic communication theory
•The ability to put this theory into practice
•Confidence in presentation and public speaking on a variety of topics
•Key skills in both verbal and non-verbal aspects of public speaking
•The ability to be an active listener and ask meaningful questions.

Which item of the diploma policy will be obtained by taking this class?

Will be able to gain “DP 2” and “DP 4”.

Default language used in class

Method(s)(学期の途中で変更になる場合には、別途提示します。 /If the Method(s) is changed, we will announce the details of any changes. )

Although there is some theoretical analysis, Presentation and Public Speaking is primarily a practical, skills-based course, with students producing meaningful class content. Submission of assignments and feedback will either be in-person or via the Learning Management System. Students will prepare and deliver speeches and learn essential skills along the way: how to select, organize and use materials to support an idea, delivery techniques, and how to effectively utilise multimedia tools in presentations.
