Miami Dade College Wolfson Campus- Room 2313
The Communication
Arts Center (CAC) provides assistance to SPC 1026 and SPC 2600,
as well as any MDC course requiring oral presentations.
State of the art video and audio equipment allow students and
faculty to make the most of their communication training.
In addition, the CAC is designed to enhance the College’s goals
of focusing on student needs in preparing for a multi-cultural
work environment.
Our CAC faculty is eager to assist you in the following areas:
1)
Public
Speaking Anxiety- the CAC offers an inviting resource for
practicing your speech in front of an audience or to tape
yourself in our new sound proof booth. Our staff can give
you tips on effective delivery and reducing speaking
apprehension.
2)
Speech
Preparation- the CAC offers numerous resources for speech
preparation and research, including a computer lab and speech
library. In addition, our staff is trained to evaluate and
offer insight to speech organization and content.
3)
Accent
Reduction- the CAC is equipped with Master Pronunciation
3.0, which is designed for all levels of English proficiency and
contains hundreds of hours of computer-based instruction.
Students can practice English sounds, advanced aspects of
pronunciation, and useful phrases. Bring your headphones!
4)
Faculty
Assistance- a referral process allows faculty to recommend
and receive feedback on students who would benefit most from our
services. Resources for faculty who wish to incorporate or
improve upon oral components within the classroom are also
available.
5)
Workshops-
the CAC hopes to soon offer workshops on topics such as
interviewing, power point presentations, conflict communication,
and effective argumentation.
