Alternating Zoom classes with online materials on Moodle on weekly basis.
This one-semester course will enable you to penetrate the mysteries of the art of public speaking, work with the fear of public performance and discover both strong and weak points of your oral English skills. Even though the course is primarily designed for researchers and scientists who need to present at international conferences, professionals from all walks of life may profit from attending. The course focuses on three pillars of devising high-quality presentations: content and its structure, graphic design, and delivery. We will look at how to interact with the audience and how to overcome stage fright and stress. Participants will also master basic story-telling principles and learn how to best utilize their voice. Emphasis is further put on effective language usage especially in terms of correct pronunciation, intonation, and grammar thus boosting the participants’ overall stylistic and academic English proficiency. The course combines online lessons on Moodle with bi-weekly meetings (face-to-face or via Zoom). Students are immediately encouraged to practice their newly gained theoretical knowledge practically; they regularly receive in-depth and friendly feedback from both the instructor and their fellow colleagues. Upon completing the workshop, students will be able to develop and effectively deliver a (scientific) presentation in English either live or online and will improve their general communication and English speaking/argumentation skills.
