📖 Presenting (+ Audio CD)

At some time or other most of us have to make a presentation of some sort. Speaking to an audience can be a very challenging experience in one's own language, let alone in a foreign one. Presenting addresses both the skills and the language required for giving effective presentations. The six units cover: - The first few minutes; - Using equipment; - Organising what you want to say; - Maintaining interest; - Dealing with problems and questions; - Summarising and concluding. Presenting provides six core units, each containing these sections: - "warmer" to raise awareness of the skills involved in effective communication and to introduce different strategies for developing these skills; - "presentation and practice" of core language connected to each skill; - "over to you", which allows students to apply what they have learned to their real-life work situation.
