The goal of this course is to help advanced English speakers develop the skills needed to participate in academic interactions at the American university. The course covers presentations, group presentations, seminar-style discussions, and informal exchanges. In this class, students learn to present themselves professionally and socially in academic settings in English with accuracy, variety, and flexibility. They learn to organize and outline academic presentations, present information clearly and effectively, explain concepts and processes from their academic field, involve audience members and respond to questions, and monitor and improve their spoken fluency, grammar, and pronunciation.
