Speaking AE2 Assignment - Summer Semester - 2021
DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH
1. Each student is expected to give a 6-8 minute PERSUASIVE presentation with visual aids on a meaningful
activity that you and your friends should do when the pandemic is over, and RECORD your presentation.
The objective of the presentation is to persuade the audience (your friends) to get together and live your
life in a fulfilling manner (the activity may be for your own sake or for the sake of your community) . Students
MAY take the following into consideration: (1) reasons or problems (caused by the pandemic) leading to your
idea for the activity; (2) how to carry out the activity in practical steps; (3) benefits/meaning from that activity,
etc.
2. The purpose of this presentation is to persuade the audience, not just to give information. Therefore, students
are required to use relevant persuasive techniques, especially the ‘You-attitude’ (addressing the audience
directly), rather than presenting factual information.
3. The presentation should be well organized and include a good introduction, some main points, clear transitions,
and a conclusion which summarizes the main points.
4. Text should be limited on the slides, apart from the title of the presentation, key notes and technical words, data
and titles on graphs, tables, charts, and references.
5. A list of 4-5 references is required to prove the validity of the information. Google or Wikipedia are commonly
considered NOT reliable sources. Brief citations on specific slides - e.g. (Source: Tuoitre) – are recommended.
6. Examiners need to keep track of the time and deduct points if the presentations are too short or too long. If
students run over 8 minutes, examiners must stop them.
7. Due date: by 11:59:59 pm, 23/8/2021 (LATE SUBMISSION IS NOT ACCEPTED)=> ZERO
