L2 UK Media Oral presentations
Here are your dates.
Note that your date will not change. If for any reason I am absent one week (ill, for example), the people who were supposed to give a presentation that week will do it at the end of the semester (probably on zoom as an oral outside class). The people on the calendar in the following weeks will not change their date.
Your talk will last eight minutes (seven is acceptable). I will stop you after eight minutes
(I will be generous with the people in the first two weeks who have little time to prepare).
The aim of your exposé is to say everything which is interesting about your subject. Just explain what kind of magazine/podcats/show it is, who reads or listens to it and why, in your opinion? What do they talk about? What are its strong points? How successful is it? Is it typically British? Is anything surprising about it? etc etc Give some typical examples of front pages, of articles, of letters, of illustrations, of adverts etc.
If your talk is before 15 March, send me now by email your subject proposal (I will tell you if someone has already chosen your favourite subject).
The people who go first have first choice of subject. I will add more subjects so that even people at the end have a little choice.
Any questions - email me at john dot mullen at univ hyphen rouen dot fr
