The students who passed the T-110.5290 course last autumn do not have to participate in this English course since it is same as last autumn's course (note: last autumn's English course does not entitle students to Kie-98.1700 credits). But this English course is recommended for them, too. One credit is awarded if the students participate in the third English lecture (01.4.2011) and do the test during that lecture.

2. During that lecture, I'm going to ask every one of you to give that short spoken summary of your paper to a fellow student, i.e. pair-work.

3. Thus, you may need to make some notes, and you may want to bring slides with you, either on paper, or in your laptop.

** These summaries will NOT be given to the whole group!

4. We might have time for 1 or 2 short presentations to the whole group if any of you would like to do that. The presentation should be about 8 minutes in length, and you may present your paper or part of of your paper.

Alternatively, you may choose a different topic altogether.

But please let me know BEFORE the lecture. I'll give you some tips in advance if you wish.

Thank you, and I look forward to seeing you on 18th January.
