Course: 典範與恆毅力：寫作簡報表達力 [Role Models × Grit:
Writing & Presentation Skills 101]
Course Description:
This course aims to
enhance students' English expository writing proficiency and oral presentation
skills while cultivating students' characters, grit in particular. The
philosophy behind the course design is that through repeated practices and
specific feedback on the content, students are able to improve their
fundamental writing and presentation skills, inductively (i.e., learning by doing). Besides, student-centered
and cooperative learning approaches are adopted.
Students will first
do the guided reading of the book, Grit: The Power of
Passion and Perseverance, by Angela Duckworth and explore deeper into the character of grit in
class activities. Then, students in groups choose role models that
display grit, and analyze the chosen paragons' four elements of grit proposed
by Angela Duckworth in her study of grit. Then, throughout the course, they
give presentations based on the given presentation structure. Students are expected to
connect and combine what they learn from the chosen role models with the
book/grit. Starting from analyzing the paragons' characters in terms of the
four grit elements, students ultimately achieve their own success by exercising
grit.
