The language of instruction is English. Students are expected to participate actively during the classes and complete an oral presentation at the end of the semester. The presentation should include an element of persuasion. Students are also expected to write a one-page abstract for their talk in advance (due on June 18). The above course plan is tentative and subject to revision during the semester, depending on students’ progress and, to an extent, topics of their interest.
