Case Study reflection

this isn't about the content of case study, but what needs to be done in presenting.


I'm now sophomore, who survived Fr. ELP, but I felt that I still have a lot of problems in presenting in English.
I first thought 10 mins were too long and 5 is enough, but I was totally wrong. (I was the last speaker and had only 5 mins, but I could barely finish by speaking very fast)


To be honest, It was hard to catch what others of my group was speaking.
It was good to know, in advance, what is important to be understood.
In a worst case, I couldn't catch the whole situation (I should have stopped and asked), then I could only have really vague idea of the whole case study.

What kind of company is this case study about?
Who is the main character and what status is he/she in?
What happened?

I tried to emphasize and repeat these things as premises of understanding the whole case study.



Also, the thing I must be serious about is that I'm forgetting to use pure English.
That is, I haven't spoken to non-Japanese who cannot speak Japanese, so I'm starting to have a bad habit to use English and Japanese at the same time, like
e-tto....
ano-..
a-...nani

all of which mean "like...", so I need to be sensible not to speak any Japanese when I speak in English class.
I'll try that on the final presentation :)



by the way......
I wonder why nobody questioned Ken's suggestion, to make "case study reflection" and "final presentation reflection" optional...

If they weren't optional but one choice of requirements, we didn't have to read chp.16 but just listen to final presentation and reflect to some that were interesting to us.
but now we have no choice but to read chp.16 ^^;
I wanted to FINISH the book and need to be pushed, so that was good for me though.
(but I found chp.17...)
