Academic Discussion

Tags
In the interviews where academic assessment is orally done, giving spoken explanations is something most applicants are not accustomed to and needs practice with especially for international students; therefore:
"Discuss about your subject with friends and class teacher. Gradually, your academic subject discussion will improve.”
Structure
Goals
Express own opinions in a logical and persuasive manner
Tips
Don't rush/ speak slowly
Start with the basics
It is ok to say 'Would you like me to go further?' as interviewers wouldn't want you to spend 5 minutes on this basic question.
Materials
Sciences - New scientist, ILoveEngineering
Economics - The Economist
Politics - The Guardians
Recommended method
Film each meeting so that after several months, improvements in academic discussion can be noticed
