Project 1 : Public Speaking
Project 2 : Presentation (Conference)
This project provides students to explore their communicative competence dealing with English presentation. They will present what they have conducted from
their mini research interest in relation to nursing issues. The length of their presentation is 15 minutes including question and answer session. For
documentation purpose, each of the presentation must be recorded using appropriate electronic devices, smartphone or other video recorder which is then
submitted to the lecturer.

Speaking 2.0
To tailor presentation’s skill, students will engage in weekly online presentations with some different foci and topics. This encourages them to not just upload
their presentation skills, but also become a reflective learner as their performance are evaluated regularly by their peer. More importantly, a number of speaking
practices will provide them an online learning platform which builds their motivation to learn.
