Preface
Who is this book for? This book is part of the English for Research series of guides for academics of all disciplines who work in an international field. This volume focuses on preparing and giving presentations. Problems with language (both written and oral) are dealt with extensively, whereas the technical/graphical elements of creating slides are given less space. The book is designed to help both those who have never done presentations before and researchers whose English is already good (or who are native speakers) but who want to improve their presentation skills. Chapter 19 is specifically designed to help native speakers present to an audience of non-natives. The majority of the guidelines given are appropriate for any language, i.e. not just English. EAP trainers can use this book in conjunction
