課程概述

As anthropology and archaeology in Taiwan become increasingly internationalized, scholars need to learn how to effectively participate in global academic discourse. More and more, this typically means being able to present research results in English. Students in this course will learn how to prepare and present their research in a talk at an international meeting in English, including identifying relevant meetings in their field, seeking out sources of funding, preparing application materials and abstracts, planning their own conference sessions, making effective presentations with proper and powerful use of presentation software (e.g., MS PowerPoint or Apple Keynote), social interactions (“the Elevator Talk” and introducing yourself), and preparing and delivering a strong, concise, 15-minute talk on their research. We will also explore relevant digital library resources available to NTU researchers (such as electronic full-text and other databases) as well as how to submit your research to journals for publication. The orientation of this course is anthropological, stressing the production of research results of a high standard for an international audience of scholars: the course is not designed as instruction in English language usage, but students will be given opportunities to prepare, practice, and revise their presentations with constant feedback from their peers and teacher; we will also identify sources for students to seek help for English-language related issues.
