  During this course, you will write a brief recommendation report, and plan and deliver an oral presentation on the topic of your report.  You'll learn to apply the principles of successful communication and strategies that enhance the readability of texts as well as the effectiveness of an oral presentation.  In addition, you will give and receive constructive feedback and revise your work accordingly.

  
  

  The work leading to the final version of the recommendation report and the oral presentation includes four online modules on principles of readability in addition to seven preparatory assignments. Throughout the course, you will work individually, in pairs and in small groups, developing your text and your presentation as well as consolidating your ability to use English in interactive situations.
  
  

  
  

  This one-period version of Communicating technology is a very intensive version of the course. So - to make it fun, feasible and useful for yourself -  it is essential that you make a good effort from the very beginning to commit yourself to regular course work, completing the assignment on schedule and participating actively in the shared sessions in Zoom.
