TRENAK11 provides training in practical techniques and cultural
considerations of English Public Speaking as a prerequisite course for TRENS8 Advanced Interpreting and for other professional
tasks which require a foundation in public speaking. AK11 is an
"intermediate-level" course for which the completion of Basic Studies is
required. The course is intended for second-year (or higher)
native-Finnish-speaking English Translation major students.
AK11 is worth two ECTS credits. Evaluation via a number grade is based
on an averaging of performance exams on oral intepretations, short speeches
of introduction and thanks, microphone and other presentation-tool usage,
and the delivery of two short speeches, as well as class participation.
AK11 meets in the spring term with a recommended class size of six students
per group. Students should subscribe to the AK11-
L class e-mail list.
