As the course progresses, students will learn how to prepare arguments for and against a position on a topic, listen to ideas critically, and to speak persuasively on a topic. Four aspects of speaking and debating will be emphasized: language, content, delivery, and critical thinking. This course will be of interest to students with good English oral communication skills who want to challenge their public speaking skills and wish to improve their critical thinking skills.
