This book is for university students, with at least a
mid-intermediate level of English. It can be used as part of an
English for Academic Purposes (EAP) course, either alone or with
the companion volume Writing an Academic Paper in English. The
chapters are independent so that EAP teachers and students can
choose those sections that best fit their needs. This means that a
course could range from a minimum of 20 hours, up to 60 hours or
more. There is an introductory chapter that includes what role
academics play in today's world, where success is not just measured
in terms of paper output and presentations at conferences, but also
in involvement interdisciplinary projects and supporting society at
large. Each chapter covers either a particular skill (e.g.
preparing a script, pronunciation, visuals, how to begin and end a
presentation) or the particular purpose of a specific moment in a
presentation. For example, the final slide is designed not just to
conclude and thank the audience, but is an opportunity to reach out
for collaborations and assistance. The aims of each part of a
presentation are also highlighted by comparisons with non-academic
situations where similar skills are required. The course is highly
practical with screenshots from real presentations given by PhD
students. It is also designed to be fun to use. Other books in the
