Report a greater level of confidence about speaking English as a second language in public. The assignments in this class are designed to achieve these goals. Textbook readings, class lectures, in class activities, web related activities, and speeches will not only provide you with information about major concepts but will also allow you the opportunity to experience the concepts. Therefore, your attendance and participation in class are of utmost importance. You will give four major public speeches in this course, each requiring a typewritten outline to be turned in.
ALL speeches are to be delivered from outlines or note cards.
Students will be assigned a speaking order prior to the delivery dates. Speeches will be taped. To do so, bring an audio cassette tape to class on the day of your speeches. There will be one mid term examination and a final exam. Format for the tests will be discussed later, but both exams will include multiple choice and short answers questions.
