Abstract:
This book is designed to help non-native English speakers to prepare and deliver effective presentations at international conferences. It will be the first book ever written on presentations specifically from the perspective of non-native English speakers. It will be written in an English that readers will be able to understand easily. This is not `simple` English as a native speaker would interpret it, but a particular way of writing with minimal redundancy in which key points are highlighted clearly. The book will cover not only the typical difficulties of all presenters (structure, gaining audience attention, graphics on slides etc), but will also focus above all on those issues that cause specific problems for the non-native. TOC:Part 1: Preparation and Practice.- Ten stages of preparing your slides.- Writing out your speech in English.- Pronunciation and intonation.- Practice and learning from other people`s presentations.- Handling your fear and anxiety.- Part 2: What to Write and Show on the Slides.- Titles.- Writing and editing the text of the slides.- Using bullets.- Visual elements and fonts.- Getting and keeping the audience`s attention.- Part 3: What to Do and Say at Each Stage of the Presentation.- Ten ways to begin a presentation.- Outline and Transitions.- Methodology.- Results and Discussion.- Conclusions.- Questions and answers.- Useful phrases.
