Course description: When making a presentation of research, starting with a simple introduction is most important. The easier your presentation is, the easier the questions will be (if you research is good!). Also in this course, students will have a chance to review English necessary for creating a clear easy-to-understand presentation in English of their own research topic. The teachers will give instruction in basic technical writing (grammar and vocabulary) and structure of English technical writing. This will include: summarizing their research, and deciding how to explain the outline of their research. Students must make a powerpoint presentation during the course and answer questions from other students and teachers.
