课程英文简介：
Academic Communication English is designed for individuals who may use English in academic settings. The course aims to enhance and expand students’ proficiency in academic communication by focusing on appropriate speaking styles, effective preparation procedures for academic presentations, strategies for various academic communication contexts, as well as on developing fluency and confidence in public speaking.
To achieve these objectives, the course employs a variety of instructional methods, including video lectures, follow-up exercises, online discussions, and other interactive activities. The content is organized into three thematic sections. The first section provides a general introduction to academic communication, addressing key topics such as the distinctions between everyday conversation and academic presentation, different types of academic presentations, and appropriate speaking styles for academic purposes. The second section concentrates on the development and delivery of effective academic presentations, offering systematic guidance on planning, structuring, rehearsing, and presenting. The third section explores specific academic contexts, such as seminars and international conferences, familiarizing students with common practices, preparatory steps, and relevant communication strategies for such occasions.
