Course Overview

In this practical course students will develop skills to help them make English academic presentations with clarity and confidence. Students will learn about and make three types of presentations: (1) Academic Introductions; (2) Describing and Comparing Objects; and (3) Explaining a Process. In class, students will analyse and discuss sample presentations and learn useful techniques and language. There will be a strong focus on developing clear diction – e.g. pronunciation, word stress, sentence stress and pausing. There will be plenty of opportunities for students to practice presentation skills and to evaluate their own and other’s work.
