Suggestions for improvement Academic listening: economic growth and democracy TASK A You are going to listen to a talk by Yasheng Huang, Professor at MIT and Fudan University, about the relationship between economic growth and democracy. Before you listen, discuss these questions. What signs of China’s rapid economic growth and increasing political influence can you see? What do you think has enabled China’s economy to grow so quickly and impressively? Do you think the Chinese economy will be able to continue growing at such a fast rate? What challenges do you think China will face in the future? TASK B Check the meaning of these words and phrases, which are all used in the talk. 1. to hinder 11. to revert to 2. to facilitate 12. static 3. to converge 13. dynamic 4. to be constrained by sth 14. proprietor 5. infrastructure 15. entrepreneur 6. to accumulate 16. to undertake (political reforms) 7. to surpass 17. benchmark 8. authoritarian (government) 18. to accelerate 9. to draw a conclusion 19. to emerge 10. human capital 20. egalitarianism TASK C Listen to the talk and take detailed notes. Use these note-taking strategies: record only the key points and main examples note down your reactions (e.g. agreement, disagreement, criticisms, questions) to the information presented don’t write in complete sentences – use single words or short phrases use abbreviations and symbols wherever possible (e.g. bc, eg, =, ppl) use arrows to indicate the relationships between the points you record decide whether you want to take notes in list form or as a mind map (or a combination of both) http://www.ted.com/talks/yasheng_huang.html [18:48 mins] TASK D Discuss these questions. What were the key points made and examples given? Are you convinced by Professor Huang’s thesis? Did you record the same things as your partner? Did you use similar note-taking strategies? How would you evaluate Professor Huang’s talk using the ELC criteria? TASK E Discuss these questions. How can we measure the health of democratic systems? Why are some people put off by politics in democratic systems? What is the best way to engage people in politics in democratic systems? Should governments have the power to evict people from their homes? How can governments ensure that wealth is spread equally among citizens? To what extent should governments control the economy? TASK F Prepare and give a three-minute presentation on one of the questions in Task E. SCRIPT My topic is economic growth in China and India. And the question I want to explore with you is whether or not democracy has helped or has hindered economic growth. You may say this is not fair, because I'm selecting two countries to make a case against democracy. Actually, exactly the opposite is what I'm going to do. I'm going to use these two countries to make an economic argument for democracy, rather than against democracy. The first question there is why China has grown so much faster than India. Over the last 30 years, in terms of the GDP growth rates, China has grown at twice the rate of India. In the last five years, the two countries have begun to converge somewhat in economic growth. But over the last 30 years, China undoubtedly has done much better than India. One simple answer is China has Shanghai and India has Mumbai. Look at the skyline of Shanghai. This is the Pudong area. The picture on India is the Dharavi slum of Mumbai in India. The idea there behind these two pictures is that the Chinese government can act above rule of law. It can plan for the long-term benefits of the country and in the process, evict millions of people -- that's just a small technical issue. Whereas in India, you cannot do that, because you have to listen to the public. You're being constrained by the public's opinion. Even Prime Minister Manmohan Singh agrees with that view. In an interview printed in the financial press of India, He said that he wants to make Mumbai another Shanghai. This is an Oxford-trained economist steeped in humanistic values, and yet he agrees with the high-pressure tactics of Shanghai. So let me call it the Shanghai model of economic growth, that emphasizes the following features for promoting economic development: infrastructures, airports, highways, bridges, things like that. And you need a strong government to do that, because you cannot respect private property rights. You cannot be constrained by the public's opinion. You need also state ownership, especially of land assets, in order to build and roll out infrastructures very quickly. The implication of that model is that democracy is a hindrance for economic growth, rather than a facilitator of economic growth. Here's the key question. Just how important are infrastructures for economic growth? This is a key issue. If you believe that infrastructures are very important for economic growth, then you would argue a strong government is necessary to promote growth. If you believe that infrastructures are not as important as many people believe, then you will put less emphasis on strong government. So to illustrate that question, let me give you two countries. And for the sake of brevity, I'll call one country Country 1 and the other country Country 2. Country 1 has a systematic advantage over Country 2 in infrastructures. Country 1 has more telephones, and Country 1 has a longer system of railways. So if I were to ask you, "Which is China and which is India, and which country has grown faster?" if you believe in the infrastructure view, then you will say, "Country 1 must be China. They must have done better, in terms of economic growth. And Country 2 is possibly India." Actually the country with more telephones is the Soviet Union, and the data referred to 1989. After the country reported very impressive statistics on telephones, the country collapsed. That's not too good. The picture there is Khrushchev. I know that in 1989 he no longer ruled the Soviet Union, but that's the best picture that I can find. (Laughter) Telephones, infrastructures do not guarantee you economic growth. Country 2, that has fewer telephones, is China. Since 1989, the country has performed at a double-digit rate every year for the last 20 years. If you know nothing about China and the Soviet Union other than the fact about their telephones, you would have made a poor prediction about their economic growth in the next two decades. Country 1, that has a longer system of railways, is actually India. And Country 2 is China. This is a very little known fact about the two countries. Yes, today China has a huge infrastructure advantage over India. But for many years, until the late 1990s, China had an infrastructure disadvantage vis-a-vis India. In developing countries, the most common mode of transportation is the railways, and the British built a lot of railways in India. India is the smaller of the two countries, and yet it had a longer system of railways until the late 1990s. So clearly, infrastructure doesn't explain why China did better before the late 1990s, as compared with India. In fact, if you look at the evidence worldwide, the evidence is more supportive of the view that the infrastructure are actually the result of economic growth. The economy grows, government accumulates more resources, and the government can invest in infrastructure -- rather than infrastructure being a cause for economic growth. And this is clearly the story of the Chinese economic growth. Let me look at this question more directly. Is democracy bad for economic growth? Now let's turn to two countries, Country A and Country B. Country A, in 1990, had about $300 per capita GDP as compared with Country B, which had $460 in per capita GDP. By 2008, Country A has surpassed Country B with $700 per capita GDP as compared with $650 per capita GDP. Both countries are in Asia. If I were to ask you, "Which are the two Asian countries? And which one is a democracy?" you may argue, "Well, maybe Country A is China and Country B is India." In fact, Country A is democratic India, and Country B is Pakistan - the country that has a long period of military rule. And it's very common that we compare India with China. That's because the two countries have about the same population size. But the more natural comparison is actually between India and Pakistan. Those two countries are geographically similar. They have a complicated, but shared common history. By that comparison, democracy looks very, very good in terms of economic growth. So why do economists fall in love with authoritarian governments? One reason is the East Asian Model. In East Asia, we have had successful economic growth stories such as Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore. Some of these economies were ruled by authoritarian governments in the 60s and 70s and 1980s. The problem with that view is like asking all the winners of lotteries, "Have you won the lottery?" And they all tell you, "Yes, we have won the lottery." And then you draw the conclusion the odds of winning the lottery are 100 percent. The reason is you never go and bother to ask the losers who also purchased lottery tickets and didn't end up winning the prize. For each of these successful authoritarian governments in East Asia, there's a matched failure. Korea succeeded, North Korea didn't. Taiwan succeeded, China under Mao Zedong didn't. Burma didn't succeed. The Philippines didn't succeed. If you look at the statistical evidence worldwide, there's really no support for the idea that authoritarian governments hold a systematic edge over democracies in terms of economic growth. So the East Asian model has this massive selection bias -- it is known as selecting on a dependent variable, something we always tell our students to avoid. So exactly why did China grow so much faster? I will take you to the Cultural Revolution, when China went mad, and compare that country's performance with India under Indira Gandhi. The question there is: Which country did better, China or India? China was during the Cultural Revolution. It turns out even during the Cultural Revolution, China out-perfomed India in terms of GDP growth by an average of about 2.2 percent every year in terms of per capita GDP. So that's when China was mad. The whole country went mad. It must mean that the country had something so advantageous to itself in terms of economic growth to overcome the negative effects of the Cultural Revolution. The advantage the country had was human capital -- nothing else but human capital. This is the world development index indicator data in the early 1990s. And this is the earliest data that I can find. The adult literacy rate in China is 77 percent as compared with 48 percent in India. The contrast in literacy rates is especially sharp between Chinese women and Indian women. I haven't told you about the definition of literacy. In China, the definition of literacy is the ability to read and write 1,500 Chinese characters. In India, the definition of literacy, operating definition of literacy, is the ability, the grand ability, to write your own name in whatever language you happen to speak. The gap between the two countries in terms of literacy is much more substantial than the data here indicated. If you go to other sources of data such as Human Development Index, that data series, go back to the early 1970s, you see exactly the same contrast. China held a huge advantage in terms of human capital vis-a-vis India. Life expectancies: as early as 1965, China had a huge advantage in life expectancy. On average, as a Chinese in 1965, you lived 10 years more than an average Indian. So if you have a choice between being a Chinese and being an Indian, you would want to become a Chinese in order to live 10 years longer. If you made that decision in 1965, the down side of that is the next year we have the Cultural Revolution. So you have to always think carefully about these decisions. If you cannot chose your nationality, then you will want to become an Indian man. Because, as an Indian man, you have about two years of life expectancy advantage vis-a-vis Indian women. This is an extremely strange fact. It's very rare among countries to have this kind of pattern. It shows the systematic discrimination and biases in the Indian society against women. The good news is, by 2006, India has closed the gap between men and women in terms of life expectancy. Today, Indian women have a sizable life expectancy edge over Indian men. So India is reverting to the normal. But India still has a lot of work to do in terms of gender equality. These are the two pictures taken of garment factories in Guangdong Province and garment factories in India. In China, it's all women. 60 to 80 percent of the workforce in China is women in the coastal part of the country, whereas in India, it's all men. Financial Times printed this picture of an Indian textile factory with the title, "India Poised to Overtake China in Textile." By looking at these two pictures, I say no, it won't overtake China for a while. If you look at other East Asian countries, women there play a hugely important role in terms of economic take-off -- in terms of creating the manufacturing miracle associated with East Asia. India still has a long way to go to catch up with China. Then the issue is, what about the Chinese political system? You talk about human capital, you talk about education and public health. What about the political system? Isn't it true that the one-party political system has facilitated economic growth in China? Actually, the answer is more nuanced and subtle than that. It depends on a distinction that you draw between statics of the political system and the dynamics of the political system. Statically, China is a one-party system, authoritarian -- there's no question about it. Dynamically, it has changed over time to become less authoritarian and more democratic. When you explain change -- for example, economic growth; economic growth is about change -- when you explain change, you use other things that have changed to explain change, rather than using the constant to explain change. Sometimes a fixed effect can explain change, but a fixed effect only explains changes in interaction with the things that change. In terms of the political changes, they have introduced village elections. They have increased the security of proprietors. And they have increased the security with long-term land leases. There are also financial reforms in rural China. There is also a rural entrepreneurial revolution in China. To me, the pace of political changes is too slow, too gradual. And my own view is the country is going to face some substantial challenges, because they have not moved further and faster on political reforms. But nevertheless, the system has moved in a more liberal direction, moved in a more democratic direction. You can apply exactly the same dynamic perspective on India. In fact, when India was growing at a Hindu rate of growth -- about one percent, two percent a year -- that was when India was least democratic. Indira Gandhi declared emergency rule in 1975. The Indian government owned and operated all the TV stations. A little-known fact about India in the 1990s is that the country not only has undertaken economic reforms, the country has also undertaken political reforms by introducing village self-rule, privatization of media and introducing freedom of information acts. So the dynamic perspective fits both with China and in India in terms of the direction. Why do many people believe that India is still a growth disaster? One reason is they are always comparing India with China. But China is a superstar in terms of economic growth. If you are a NBA player and you are always being compared to Michael Jordan, you're going to look not so impressive. But that doesn't mean that you're a bad basketball player. Comparing with a superstar is the wrong benchmark. In fact, if you compare India with the average developing country, even before the more recent period of acceleration of Indian growth -- now India is growing between eight and nine percent -- even before this period, India was ranked fourth in terms of economic growth among emerging economies. This is a very impressive record indeed. Let's think about the future: the dragon vis-a-vis the elephant. Which country has the growth momentum? China, I believe, still has some of the excellent raw fundamentals -- mostly the social capital, the public health, the sense of egalitarianism that you don't find in India. But I believe that India has the momentum. It has the improving fundamentals. The government has invested in basic education, has invested in basic health. I believe the government should do more, but nevertheless, the direction it is moving in is the right direction. India has the right institutional conditions for economic growth, whereas China is still struggling with political reforms. I believe that the political reforms are a must for China to maintain its growth. And it's very important to have political reforms, to have widely shared benefits of economic growth. I don't know whether that's going to happen or not, but I'm an optimist. Hopefully, five years from now, I'm going to report to TEDGlobal that political reforms will happen in China. Thank you very much. Giving Presentations: Review of Structure and Argument (Signposting) Task 1 Reflect: What kind of information should be included in the introduction to an academic presentation? Now read the introductions from two presentations on the same topic, and discuss the questions below: Extract A Good morning everyone. As you know, my name’s Martin and I’m a geography student here at New College. In my presentation today I’m going to talk about cycling to university, rather than coming by car or using public transport. Basically my presentation will be in three parts. In the first part, I’ll talk about some environmental issues. Then I’ll look at the financial side of travelling this way and finally I’ll focus on personal safety. Extract B Good morning everyone. As you know, my name’s Steve and I’m a geography student here at New College. In my presentation today I’m going to focus on why I strongly believe that more people, especially students, should be cycling to university rather than coming by car or using public transport. My presentation is divided into three parts. In the first part I’ll show you the environmental benefits of using a bicycle rather than motorized transport. Next I’ll look at the economics and show you how much money you could save. To finish off I’ll demonstrate how travelling to university by bike can have a big impact on everybody’s personal safety. 1. Which extract: only presents information? presents an argument? 2. In the extract expressing an argument: underline/highlight the argument; identify the speaker’s position (the thesis statement). 3. How do the two extracts differ in: relating the subject to the audience? having a clear focus/objective for the presentation? 4. Underline/highlight any useful phrases for: giving the structure of a presentation; presenting an argument; providing support for different parts of the argument. Task 2 Reflect: What is the purpose of the conclusion to an academic presentation? Now look at the conclusions from the two presentations above, and consider the questions that follow: Extract X That brings us to the end of my presentation today. As I feel you’ll now probably agree based on the evidence, travelling to university by bike can offer you a number of distinct advantages, not only in terms of the environment, but also in terms of saving you money and raising your level of personal safety. Thank you very much for listening and if anybody has any questions about this, I would be happy to answer them now. Extract Y That brings us to the end of my presentation today. I have shown you three advantages of travelling by bike to university in the areas of environment, personal finance and safety. Thank you very much for listening and if anybody has any questions about this, I would be happy to answer them now. 1. Match the conclusions with the openings A and B you looked at in Task 1. 2. In the extract based on an argument highlight/underline any words or phrases which: refer to the original argument; summarise the main points of the argument; suggest that it is not just the speaker’s opinion; help to persuade the audience to agree with the speaker. Task 3 (Language for developing oral arguments) The purpose of the main body is to develop the themes referred to in the introduction in more detail, and to construct a convincing argument. Look at the list of expressions below and decide which you would use to: list the supporting points in a sequence (S); introduce a typical opposing argument (OA); explain why the typical opposing argument is not a good one (OX). Aside from the fact that….., there’s also the issue of… This position/approach would seem to be wrong. There are many reasons why… First of all…, second…, third… A common argument often used against this is… All the evidence shows that… It’s essential to point out that… On the one hand there’s the argument that… . On the other hand… But maybe some of you are thinking, what about…? Of course, the usual response is… What is more, … Serious doubts can be raised against this. Another point in favour of X is… Some (academics/critics) would say… But I’m not suggesting… All I’m saying is… In fact the opposite is true. In my experience… Another point is that… One of the main arguments against X is that… But these views are not necessarily true. One objection to this argument is… The first argument/point to be considered is… This is not always the case. It’s important to remember, however, that… They/he/she seem(s) to be mistaken. What other expressions can you think of for performing these functions? Giving Presentations: The Language of Presentations An effective oral presentation depends on the quality of the speaker’s language. Although visual aids and appropriate non-verbal communication are important, it is the skilled use of language by the presenter which may have the greatest impact on the audience. Speaker goals Useful expressions 1. welcoming the audience 2. introducing the topic 3. outlining the organisation of the talk 4. moving on to a new point 5. summarising 6. concluding 7. asking for questions 8. responding to questions 9. bringing the session to an end A.

Evaluating a Presentation The KCL marking criteria has 5 areas on which you will be assessed and given feedback on. Based on the marks you receive for each criterion you will be given a final mark. Therefore it is possible for a student with an A for language to still score a B overall, if their delivery is weak and so on. How many of the different areas on the criteria do you know? Do you know the weighting (the amount they contribute) to your final score? Delivery The first area that we will look at in the lesson is delivery. The specific areas that are covered by delivery are: audience engagement body language and gestures eye contact slides projection of voice use of notes With 2 other students discuss what you think can be done to: a) develop the skills needed for each of the criterion above b) show the marker and your audience that you have considered their needs during the presentation Now watch 2 previous students’ presentations (without sound!) and focus on the areas mentioned above. Make notes on the following areas: Student A audience engagement (use your own response to decide how engaged you feel while watching) body language and gestures eye contact slides use of notes Student B Discuss in pairs. In what ways is communication in a presentation much more than just the words that the person is saying? Discuss with reference to these presentations and experience of watching other academic talks. Grading Now take a look at the feedback given to the students on the delivery of their presentation. This feedback was given to help them develop before their next presentation. Match the comment to the students. What does the use of precluded mean in this context? What grade did each student receive for delivery? Student A or B? Higher grade (B+) precluded because More eye contact and engagement with the audience needed Too much information on slide outlining 3 articles. Reading of hand not appropriate use of notes. Student A or B? Higher grade (A+) precluded because More eye contact needed with the whole audience. Could have made better use of slides at times; e.g. used animation to introduce one by one. Task Fulfilment The next area we will focus on today will be task. How much does task fulfilment contribute to the final mark? Discuss in pairs What do you think the function of a presentation is? When you listen to other students presenting, what do they need to do to help you understand their presentation? On the KCL speaking criteria, the elements assessed for in task fulfilment are: task completion logical structure/organisation development of ideas sufficient explanation for a non-expert, but educated audience answers audience questions Now watch student B’s introduction. In what ways does the student meet the criteria above? Make notes in the relevant sections (watch till 1 min 20). task completion logical structure/ organisation development of ideas sufficient explanation for a non-expert, but educated audience Now watch the rest of the presentation and complete the notes for the section. task completion gives definition of palliative care logical structure/organisation explanation of research into the area development of ideas (How does one idea connect to the next?) sufficient explanation for a non-expert, but educated audience gives definition of palliative care What grade do you think the student received for task fulfilment? Can you give any suggestions for further improvement? ↘Think about your own presentation. What will you need to do in order to fulfil the criteria above? What words will need defining? What language will you need to use to explain complex issues? Critical Analysis The final section we will look at in today’s lesson is the criteria for critical analysis, which is 15% of your final score. How can you maximise the criticality in your presentation? Use the words below to help you to answer this question. understanding wider reading description counter argument reading sources position/stance evidence/examples Discuss your ideas in pairs. Task 1 Watch student B’s presentation again and focus on critical analysis. How have the following sources been used? Match the source to the function a) to give the name of the seminal piece of research the student is critiquing b) to explain how research in the field has been conducted c) to give support to a definition Source: (WHO, 2011; Ferris et al, 2009; Clark, 2009; von Gunten, 2009; King's College London) Function_______________________ Sources: (Bennett, 2007), (Addington-Hall, 2007), (Costantini and Higginson, 2007), (Payne, 2007) Function _______________________ Source: (Temel et al, 2010) Function___________________________ Task 2 Watch the final evaluation section again. Number the following in the sequence you hear them Evaluation of the significance the seminal research has The implications for early care Aims of the seminal paper that you have chosen 1 Method Helping patients to manage their time before death. Recommendations for improving palliative care How may negative points about the strengths of the research does the student mention? Are they supported by sources? What could the student have done to improve his critical analysis throughout this section? Your presentation ↘Using the information from this lesson and the KCL marking criteria think about how you can develop the required skills and work towards the grades you need. Think about each section one by one and give yourself specific tasks.
