課程大綱
本課程旨在訓練學生公開表達之能力,內容包括語言表達基本原則與技巧、肢體語言與演講要領,備題演講及即席演講演練。 Course Description: This course aims to establish the foundation for English-major students to deliver public speeches in English. Students learn to select topics, collect essential information, analyze the audience, organize materials, improve delivery skills, distinguish different types of speeches, and further to evaluate their own and others’ speeches. Each student is expected to deliver at least 3-4 individual speeches, and 2-3 debates. Speech topics will be assigned to students. Any modifications of the speech topics will have to be approved by the instructor. All student speech sessions must be videotaped.(*1) Course Requirements: Students’ responsibilities in this class include: (1) Attending class regularly and to arrive on time: a sign-in sheet to record attendance / a grade reduction of 5% of the semester grade for each class session missed absence (2) All presentations assigned (3) Delivering speeches as scheduled: i. Students are required to present their speeches on the day scheduled; ii. Make-up speech will be allowed only when the failure to perform is due to an officially excused absence at the instructor’s discretion. iii. The ideal time duration for each speech is 4 to 6 minutes. The minimum length of speech time is 3 minutes, and the maximum 6 minutes. Violation of the time limit (less than 3 and more than 6) will create a 10-point deduction. The time length for debates will vary due to the different formats employed. (4) Submitting to the instructor a speaker’s dossier with inclusion of the outlined speech as well as its full-length version, the self-evaluating commentary of previous presentation(s) and also blank A-4 size lined sheets for notes and feedbacks (see Appendix 1) when presenting the speech. Failure to submit will generate a penalty of 20 points (out of 100) in each speech. Students who fail to comply with the outline format requirements (sampled and specified below) will forfeit the opportunity to deliver the current speech / debate. (5) Distributing the current speech outline(s) to fellow students at the beginning of each class session (6) Evaluating one’s own speech: all speeches have to be videotaped by the student speaker. Student speakers are required to watch their own videotaped performance, observe their own speeches, and later submit a self-evaluating commentary to the instructor a week after the speech presentation. Students are strongly advised to use their own videotaping devices. A complete portfolio needs to be established and submitted at the semester end. (7) Offering constructive opinions and feedbacks of the fellow students as speakers: Students are encouraged to give verbal / oral commentary of the fellow students’ speeches, and with the objectively constructed criticism, the student evaluators will earn 3% grade points to their semester grades.

Notes: *1) Student speakers need to videotape their speeches each time and submit the digital recordings at the end of the semester. * 2) Students are obligated to attend all class sessions. Each absence will generate 5% point deduction of the semester grades on the 100% scale. *3) All extemporaneous speeches allow speakers to deliver the speech with its outline / note card. Speech delivery with full-length script will result in the total loss of the component grade. *4) The implementation of the final debate match will likely to be subject to certain contingent occurrences as the class proceeds. Exact date, format and related matters will have to be discussed and determined later in the semester. * 5) Students are required to submit the speech assessment portfolio at the end of the semester. Failure to submit the portfolio will override the grades received in other grading components and thus results in a failing grade.
