English for Non-Native Professionals: Presenting in English (COM 23)

The ability to communicate ideas effectively continually ranks at the top of the list of skills needed by business people, engineers, and other professionals. This series of advanced English courses gives nonnative speakers the chance to identify and practice the essential speaking and writing skills needed in professional settings.

Designed for advanced non-native speakers working in professional contexts, this course focuses on the development of clear, effective presentation skills in English, with specific attention to the accurate use of American English sounds, stress, and intonation. Students will present to both small and large groups, learning how best to organize information in order to gain and keep audience attention. Goals are to develop confidence, fluency, and accuracy when presenting in English. Two presentations will be videotaped for analysis and personalized instructor feedback. Students may also complete individual audio recordings for further instructor feedback.

Please note: This is an advanced-level English as a Second Language course.
