The program is open to undergraduates and graduates. This paper\ examines two activities from the ACT class taught in the academic year 2013: pechakucha\ and group discussions. There were two sections of the same class, with 18 students in one\ and 16 students in another. The majority were first year students, and their average TOEFL\ ITP score was 528. Feedback from the students concerning the activities was overwhelmingly\ positive; many students reported that they had become more confident through the ACT class.\ Furthermore in the paper, the author discusses several areas in the ACT class that could be\ addressed to further bolster the course in the future.}, pages = {1--5}, title = {Advanced Communication Training : Evaluation of Activities}, volume = {5}, year = {2014} }
