The course consists of 5 lessons where students learn to apply the criteria for a successful debate (clear viewpoints, confident use of terminology, eye contact, engaging, funny at times, knowledgeable, good timing). You will present your views on different topics. All students are required to submit an opinionated writing piece beforehand where they can show off their terminology use and presentation structure (introduction - 3 viewpoints - conclusion). Students need to present these 3 points in the lesson and will need to be able to confidently answer questions on their presentation. For SMO students, the final lesson will give you the opportunity to get feedback on and practice your own exam presentation.
