Oral presentation
You are required to give an oral presentation on a given topic during one of the course seminars (see dates below). You will present in pairs or groups of three. We will group students placed at the same practice school together for the oral presentations.
Aim: Each pair/group should give a presentation on one or two of the following questions related to the class you teach at your practice school:
(1) How would you like to teach this topic to your English class?
(2) How have you taught this topic to your English class?
(3) Why is this topic difficult to teach to your English class?
(4) Why would you choose not to teach this topic to your English class?
(5) Why would you be passionate about teaching this topic to your English class?
Criteria for the oral presentation
(a) Aim: Brief presentation of the topic and the aim of your presentation, (b) Literature: Refer to all texts on your reading list for the seminar in question (and, if applicable, you can also refer to assigned handouts), and explain how these are relevant to your presentation, (c) Topic: The answer to your topic.
Visual aids: The oral presentation should include visual aids.
Length of presentation: 15 minutes. The speaking time should be evenly distributed among the presenting students.
Peer feedback
Each student will be assigned one of the presentations and provide oral feedback to the students who give the oral presentation. The topic must be from one of the other topics than the one you present yourself. Please, base your feedback on criteria a–c above. The number of students offering feedback on each oral presentation will vary; students are welcome to co-operate in preparing their feedback if they would like to (but no requirement, though).
