Topic/Skill: Speaking
Teacher: Olivia James
I observed one of Professor James classes about two weeks ago and the students were preparing for a classwide oral presentation on a topic of their choice. Students were supposed to draft a powerpoint and presentation on a topic they found particularly interesting. During this session, I got a chance to see some of the students prepare. One student had a whole presentation on human rights in her native country. I went over the powerpoint with the professor and her and we both helped her polish her work. Another student needed help with the speech portion of their presentation and so I was paired with them to hone their point home.
I wanted to observe this class again because I found the presentation project and its format interesting. I thought it was similar to what I would do in speech classes and so a good fit for students learning skills they'll when using English.
