  During the six weeks of this course, you will plan and 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 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 4 online modules on principles of readability in addition to six 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 assignments on time, and participating actively in each class session. 

  
  

  If you have any difficulty meeting the assignment deadlines, please always contact your teacher IN ADVANCE!
