Title
Designing public speaking courses for second language learners.
This presentation will discuss the design and implementation of a public
speaking course at Mahidol University International College, Bangkok,
Thailand. The original design was based on the need to offer advanced
speaking skill courses and to teach debate at a university level. The course has
since evolved to incorporate the use of basic psychology and audience analysis
to increase the persuasiveness of speakers regarding questions of fact, policy
and value. This presentation also discusses some of the problems associated
with changes in course design and effectiveness of CD-ROM, DVD, video
cameras and internet technologies as tools to demonstrate strong/weak
presentation strategies.
