Oral English 2: Week 11

6/18/2015

Hi everyone,

Can you believe we have only one more month of classes left? Time has gone by so quickly this semester.

Voice Inflection:
In today's lesson, we learned about voice inflection. We use inflection to emphasize important words/phrases in our presentation, and also to keep the interest of the audience. There are four types of inflection:
a. stress
b. stretch
c. pause

In your presentations next week, you'll need to use gestures and voice inflection.

Discussions:

We finished our last round of discussions in today's lesson. Overall, there has been a big improvement in conversational style. Your discussions are almost 20 minutes now! When we first started in April, your discussions were only 10 minutes!  Next semester, we'll continue with discussions skills.

Presentations:
We start our presentations in next week's lesson. Please remember these points:
  1. Groups 1, 2 and 3: arrive at 8:50am to prepare and set-up your poster.
  2. You can't read your notes. You can use them to help you remember.
  3. Before your presentation, please give me your corrected outline.
  4. Audience members:  arrive on time!

Homework:
