Academic Presenting and Presentations is a new university-level training
course suitable for all students who have to give presentations during
their studies or in their later careers. The course is designed for a
global audience and can be used in a wide range of contexts. The
instructional and practice material included not only helps students to
develop their presentation skills but also provides insights into key
topics of interest such as research methods and the dangers of
plagiarism. In addition to covering specific aspects of English as the
language of presentation in an international environment, this learning
program emphasises higher level task achievement, since experience shows
that this is the area most students find especially difficult. Each unit
of the course focuses on a different presentation genre, building
students' awareness of how to present effectively whilst at the same
time focusing attention on the specific requirements of addressing an
audience in an academic context.
