3.5 Oral Presentation
This document provides guidance for students on creating and delivering an oral presentation. It outlines the following steps:
1) Choose a topic within your area of expertise and discuss it with your teacher.
2) Compile your ideas by listing thoughts on the topic and choosing the most interesting and important to structure into 4 or more subheadings.
3) Structure your ideas and choose oral language techniques to coherently develop, sustain and integrate your ideas when delivering the presentation. Consider the audience's prior knowledge and how to build on it.
Students are assessed based on how effectively they develop and link ideas in their structured presentation and employ oral language features in its delivery.
Developing speaking activities
The document discusses developing classroom speaking activities from theory to practice. It divides speaking into three main functions: talk as interaction, which is informal conversation; talk as transaction, which focuses on exchanging information; and talk as performance, such as giving speeches. For each function, the document outlines their main features, skills involved, and examples. It emphasizes the importance of considering these functions when designing speaking activities and assessments. Teachers should also determine students' needs and provide support through modeling, resources and feedback.
EFL to ESL: Helping learners bridge the communicative gap
This document discusses strategies for helping learners of English as a foreign language (EFL) prepare for studying abroad in an English-speaking country where English is used as a second language (ESL). It outlines three key strategies: 1) modeling communicative activities and analyzing them using Bloom's Taxonomy to develop higher-order thinking skills; 2) scaffolding academic oral presentations to build presentation skills through peer feedback; and 3) implementing peer mentoring programs where former study abroad students or native speakers provide guidance to EFL learners preparing to study abroad. The document argues that these approaches can help EFL learners develop important communication, cultural, and academic skills needed to successfully transition to an ESL environment abroad.
Beyond Linguistic Accuracy: What speaking tests must also evaluate
This document discusses the evaluation of speaking skills and proposes that tests must consider more than just linguistic accuracy. It notes that speaking involves different genres like conversations and presentations. While most tests evaluate skills like presentations, conversations require interactive abilities that are rarely tested. The document suggests teaching and testing a variety of speaking genres, including making conversations a priority and evaluating interactive communication skills in addition to linguistic proficiency.
Article presentation esl 501 developing classroom speaking activities
The document discusses different approaches to teaching oral language skills, identifying three main types of speaking - talk as interaction, transaction, and performance.

Teachers should identify students' needs, plan activities with clear objectives, and provide feedback to help learners improve their oral language abilities.
Challenges in the teaching and testing of speaking
This document discusses challenges in teaching and testing speaking skills. It is divided into four parts: 1) defining speaking and its genres, 2) how to teach conversation skills, 3) common evaluation methods, and 4) ideas to improve teaching and testing. The key points are that speaking encompasses different genres beyond presentations and interviews; conversation is the most important skill but often not taught or tested; and evaluations should match what is taught in the classroom.
Developing classroom speaking activities
The document discusses three main functions of speaking: talk as interaction, talk as transaction, and talk as performance. It outlines the key features and skills involved in each type of speaking. For talk as interaction, the focus is social and involves skills like small talk and turn-taking. Talk as transaction has an information focus and skills like explaining and confirming. Talk as performance transmits information to an audience and involves skills like sequencing information and engaging an audience. The document suggests teachers identify which speaking skills to focus on and design activities matched to developing each type of speaking function.
Teaching speaking 1
1) Many language learners view speaking ability as the most important skill and measure of knowing a language.
2) To develop students' communicative efficiency, instructors provide authentic speaking practice and feedback on mechanics, functions, and socio-cultural norms while balancing accuracy and fluency.
3) Instructors give students language input through various means and provide opportunities for structured and communicative output to help students produce grammatically correct language appropriate to contexts.

Reflective analysis helps you to make an evidence-based argument.docx
Reflective analysis
helps you to make an evidence-based argument about yourself, a skill that will benefit you not only here at Drexel, but also outside of Drexel. In your personal, academic, and professional life, it will be important to establish and reflect on goals, to periodically examine what you have accomplished, and to ask critical questions about your learning: What did I hope to accomplish in this class/project/ experience? How did I grow as a person, scholar, or professional? What evidence do I have for that growth? How does this growth prepare me for what is next? In many contexts, you will be asked to discuss, either in person or in writing, what kind of student or employee you will be. In these contexts,
it is reflective analysis that will allow you to examine your experience for the evidence you need to construct clear and honest answers for yourself and others.
Your Reflective Analysis should accomplish four tasks:
1.
It should make
an argument
about your writing development. Read the FWP Outcomes and choose
ONE
of the Outcomes as the focus for your argument. You have lots of options here.
2.
It should use pieces of your own writing as evidence for your argument. Specifically, you should integrate the following compositions as sources in your analysis:
a.
1 major project from 101
b.
1 major project from 102
c.
2 informal compositions from either 101 or 102
d.
Any other supporting compositions you would like to use
3.
It should do “meta-analysis” of those artifacts as it makes its argument. “Meta-analysis” is your examination of your own work, your writing-about-your-writing.
4.
It should be directed to a specific audience: Professional employer, friend, teacher, parent or guardian, future child, yourself…you choose.
Citing Your Own Writing
:
In your Reflective Analysis, you should, of course, provide proper in-text citation of your sources, just as you would with any other source in a composition. In this case, however, your sources are your own compositions; so, you’ll be citing yourself. Here is an example:
In my second project for English 101, I discuss the impact of drafting on my writing development: “I have always drafted because I have been required to. But I really wanted to reflect analytically on how the process of drafting actually impacted my overall writing development. Was I becoming a ‘better’ writer?” (“Drafting and Development” 1).
You can choose from one of the flowing outcome:
1) Students will learn
the terminology, rhetorical ideas, and practical approaches of writing
persuasively/argumentatively
.
Assessment/Deliverables:
•Students will demonstrate that knowledge and those skills in at least two major assignments and several minor writing assignments.
•Through assignments/class discussions, students will demonstrate an understanding of and fluency with rhetorical concepts and terms such as
argument, persuasion, visual literacy, logic, logical fallacy, inductive/deductive, and r.
