course description
The aim of this course is to develop and broaden academic presentation skills in English. The focus will not be on grammatically correct use of language, but rather, on coherence and cohesion, terminology, interaction with one’s audience and, to some extent, pronunciation. Participants will improve their fluency and will become more confident in public speaking in English. In short, you will be provided with the skills needed for successful presentations at conferences and effective lectures.
