Presentation 프리젠테이션
At one time or another in our lives, haven’t we all had an excellent idea/concept that we were just not quite able to articulate clearly enough, or in the best way? This course provides learners with a concise step-by-step set of essential skills toward addressing this situation, to help them better navigate and succeed in today’s rapidly changing world. Through the key stages of presentation preparation, students will learn how to effectively research a topic, organize ideas into clear arguments, employ strong evidence to support claims, create and deliver a compelling speech, and answer questions from the audience. By the end of this course, students will have improved their listening, research, organizing, and writing and communication skills. They will be able to plan and deliver their own “Ideas Worth Spreading” TED-like talks in a compelling way.
Speeches & Debates 토론&웅변
The art of debate is a critical skill, as it facilitates the creation of clear arguments and convincing evidence based claims for the audience. Students will experience the power of deploying rational, reasoned arguments and compelling evidence in action. This course conveys important research, organizational, and presentation information in a engaging manner.
Grammar 문법
English grammar comprises one of the most essential elements in the study of the English language. Without a clear understanding of proper grammatical rules, students will have difficulties with writing strong academic essays, whereas employees will struggle to convey messages and deliver professionalism in the workplace. (Correct grammar usage is not only critical in education, but facilitates myriad aspects of leadership, social life, and workplace activities). Acquiring the skills required to convey concise grammatical rules enables clear and precise communication. For this class, students will learn the fundamental rules of English grammar, while tackling confusing grammar rules with ample exercises, which they will identify and correct to become astute writers. Students who successfully complete this course will have the capacity to grasp and effectively employ appropriate grammatical rules with confidence and clarity.
