What
Coursework 2:
The coursework for Academic English Skills is comprised of three parts.
In Part 2, you will:
- present and answer questions on your research. This will be in the form of a Powerpoint presentation. Your tutor
will tell you how to do this and how long you will be speaking for.
Why
CW 2 tests your ability to deliver a well-structured, detailed academic presentation by:
- communicating the results of your research accurately and reliably
- using useful, relevant academic sources to support your ideas
- explaining how data / information presented visually is relevant to your topic and supports your arguments.
*You must include a table, chart or image to meet point b) of the Presentation Content criteria.
Your presentation is also an opportunity for you to get further feedback on your research before you submit your
essay.
This assessment counts for 50% of your final mark for speaking.
When
[WEEK 18: w/c 29th May] Your tutor will allocate you a time during the week to deliver your presentation and
answer questions on your research.
How
You will need to produce a Powerpoint presentation.
You will BRIEFLY present your research and answer questions from the audience.
In your initial presentation you should:
- Introduce your topic.
- Summarise the key findings and main arguments related to your essay question. Start with your
conclusion (the ‘answer’ to your question), and then explain how you got there. Remember to refer to the
sources you have read, and cite evidence (data or examples) to support your points.
In the Q & A, you should also refer to your evidence and examples when you respond to questions.
Your tutor will tell you how long you need to present for, and how long your Q & A session will be.
It is important that you ask other students clear and concise questions which allow them to explain more about
their research. Use the suggested questions below as a starting point.
