課程概述 |
Students interested in further intermediate-to-advanced training in oral-aural skills may register for Oral Training IV, a one-semester course held exclusively in the spring by Professor Petersen. Professors Bagnell and Petersen have coordinated these two one-semester courses such that students finishing the fall semester may continue on to further advanced training in the spring semester. Both courses are held on Mondays, periods 7 and 8.
Oral Training III focuses on the presentational skills of public speaking and debate. Students must pass an oral examination on the first day of class in order to be allowed entry. The syllabus includes training in both the planning and presentation of speeches (descriptive, narrative, argumentative, show and tell) as well as practice in extemporaneous and impromptu speaking. The semester finishes with an introduction to standard and clash styles of debating. No textbook is used.
