Examination: Individual oral exam
based on an outline of a communication situation that describes the
situation and presents a brief account of relevant strategic
considerations. At the oral exam the student should make the
presentation followed by an evaluation of the considerations and
choices behind the presentation. The description of the
communication situation must be handed in no later than three weeks
before the oral exam date.
Length of outline communication situation: 1 standard page
Language: English
The grade given is based on an overall assessment of the
communication situation outline and the student’s performance at
the oral exam.
Re-examination: If the student has already prepared and handed in
a written outline of a communication situation for the ordinary
exam, but has been ill at the oral exam, the oral exam takes place
based on a re-submission of the original communication situation.
If the student has not prepared and handed in the written
communication situation outline at the ordinary exam due to
illness, the oral exam follows the guidelines of the ordinary exam.
If the student has not passed after the oral exam, the student may
choose to submit a new, a revised or identical outline of a
communication situation as the basis for the oral
exam

Teaching and examination language: English
Our point of departure is theories on oral communication, rhetoric
and second language acquisition
A conceptual framework is provided giving the students an
understanding of how professional oral communication adds to the
student’s intercultural competence. The course should also enable
students to manage communication professionally when using the
English language as a lingua franca in international communication
contexts and should help students become aware of the pitfalls of
intercultural communication as well as raise awareness that may be
communicated to non-language professionals.
Summary of course content:
• Theoretical concepts and practical methods by means of which we
may understand, assess and improve oral communication
• Understanding, explaining and using a.o. rhetorical features,
speech acts, appeal forms, face and politeness, argumentation and
strategic communication to different target audiences
• The use of English as a lingua franca in business communication
The overall objectives of the course are to:
- provide students with theoretical as well as practical methods
to select tools that will improve the students’ professional oral
communicative competence in English
- raise students’ awareness of how to communicate effectively and
professionally in English with different target groups
- enable the student to identify genres that are commonly used in
the oral communication of business enterprises and other
organizations
- provide the student with a meta-language enabling them to
discuss and analyze oral texts and their impact on different target
audiences
