Oral Presentations in Academic English


This course is designed to meet the needs of students in diverse disciplines and provide them with the skills necessary to: (a) actively participate in seminar discussions, (b) present their arguments in a convincing manner, and (c) participate in international conferences and other events. In this course we will work with strategies to tie together different parts of a presentation, review organisational patterns and provide the students with communicative strategies needed in order to attract the audience’s attention and to convey the content of their presentation effectively.
