Outline and Purpose of the Course	Course goals: Delivering an effective presentation of your ideas is often as important as the quality of the ideas themselves. There are many types of English presentations, but all successful ones share common features: clarity, precision, concision, and an engagement with and understanding of the audience. This course aims to enable non-native English speakers to understand these features and deliver more effective presentations of their own, with a particular focus on academic-style presentations. Half of the sessions will involve in-class presentations by students followed by teacher and peer feedback.
Course Goals	Students should become aware of the basic skills and "rules of thumb" in delivering an effective English presentation and will demonstrate these skills in a final 12-15 minute English presentation by the end of the class. They should also acquire know-how of how to practice and continue improving their skills outside of class.
