Prerequisite: Reading, comprehension, writing, speaking at an intermediate level

Overall Goals:
  1. This course aims to give students who speak English at minimum at the intermediate level the opportunity to acquire public speaking skills by learning writing techniques, delivery techniques, posture, pronunciation, and vocabulary to project ideas into speech.

  2. Through role-play and group discussions, students will be able to gain confidence as English speakers to deliver short and longer speeches in a variety of settings, including class and work presentations, speaking on camera (videos for personal or professional purposes), small and large gatherings of friends or family, religious functions, and whenever an occasion may call for public speaking.

  3. Emphasis will be placed on improving reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills, with particular attention to the process of transforming ideas into the written word that will then be delivered in spoken form, using correct grammar, enriched vocabulary, appropriate idiomatic expressions, and engaging posture.

  4. The topics and subjects chosen will be related to the classroom, the workplace, the environment, the news, education, culture, health, and various social situations. The course focuses on refining the skills already acquired.

Methodology:

A variety of learning techniques such as video review, role-play, discussion and presentations will be used to develop oral fluency.
