Preface

The goal of this book is to provide ESL students with specialized language for presentations. Work through all the parts in order and complete the exercises, but later when you are working on an actual presentation, you can go to the table of contents look up the exact situation for which you are in need of a phrase, and find an example. In the example sentences you will notice words in bold. These are the key words that you can transfer to your own presentation.

Many of the exercises require preparation before class, such as reading or even answering questions in the exercises. Your teacher will let you know when this is especially important. As a general rule however, you should always familiarize yourself with all the material before class begins. Look up unfamiliar vocabulary, and make notes about any questions you have.

The course content is concerned primarily with speaking skills. There are many opportunities for discussion and actual presentation making in the exercises. Take full advantage of these opportunities! When an opportunity to speak to the class as a whole arises, stand up and project your voice, make eye-contact and connect with the audience. These experiences will enhance your presentation making ability tremendously.

There is a wealth of information on the Internet about presentation making. The language skills gained from this book are a good start, but you can really take your ability to the next level by checking out the Web sites listed below:
