Presentations in English:
Yes, You Can!™

Build your power and confidence in English, to supplement the excellent technical knowledge of the language you already have.

This course focuses on giving participants the tools and skills they need to present with greater confidence in English, in front of international audiences.

The curriculum contains some fundamental material on presentation, but primarily involves exercising public speaking and presenting in English, incorporating material designed specifically to increase performance in that language.

The workshop is divided into modules concerned with presentation techniques and style, presentation exercises, and work on expressions and language typically used in presentations.

Practice is conducted in short, intensive sessions conducted by two trainers. All participants have considerable opportunities to practice their new skills—the group can also be divided by level of ability. Video recording of presentations and feedback sessions is used to reinforce new skills in a near-real presenting environment, and to show participants how they are improving.
