This course is your opportunity to speak English on a regular basis even if we cannot meet face to face. Through various prepared and spontaneous activities, you will hone your powers of persuasion and argument and develop your formal speaking skills. These activities may include storytelling, passionate talks, debates and other group tasks suited to the online classroom. You will receive constructive feedback from your peers, from your instructor and even from yourselves when you review your recorded speeches and presentations. Beyond mere and mandatory participation, lively debate, creativity and humor are very welcome in this course.
