Course Information

Intended learning outcomes

Students in this course will improve their skills and increase their comfort level with presenting and communicating in English. Short to long presentations, both prepared and spontaneous, will be given individually, with a partner, or in a small group to a larger group audience. To accomplish this, students will also increase their understanding of text types. In all cases, the goal is to raise the quality of spoken and written expression through control and accuracy.

Teaching methodology including the use of eLearning tools

The main emphasis is on spoken interaction in the classroom. Students are given broad tasks to complete, and they are responsible for knowing and managing the content of what they are saying. 

Weekly written submissions (e.g., Job application +CV, Abstract, Translation, Program Description, Academic Essay) are read and returned by the teacher. The student corrects and collects the texts and puts them into their portfolio, a formal demonstration of their writing skills in English. 

Course content

The presentations and the portfolio texts should be on topics or issues of Computer Science or Technical Mathematics. The teacher will give more information about the structure or style of the different text types.

The course will be conducted entirely in English.

Prior knowledge expected

Strong English language ability (B1+ to B2 level).

Literature

Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English; Longman Language Activator (available in the Self-Access Centre);
