Scientists’ speeches are a lively question of current events. In many circumstances you are called upon to speak out to communicate about their work. The objective is to allow students to identify the stakes of oral scientific communication and to know and conceive the principles and techniques of oral communication (in French). This work alternates between role-playing and theorising. It concludes on the third day with a recorded oral presentation in English.
6 themes are thus addressed:
– The objectives of oral communication
– Types of communication and listeners
– The nature of the content of a communication
