Reviews / Votes
'Overall, this book covers virtually all the essentials ofgiving presentations and it is a 'must have' companion for
undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as tutors who teach presentation skills.' (Journal of the IATEFL English for Specific Purposes Special Interest Group, Issue 44)
'This is not just another book about how to deliver a presentation! This book provides a comprehensive yet simplistic overview of pragmatic considerations within an academic context.' Debbie Mann, Coordinator of In-sessional Courses, INTO Newcastle (full review published by BEBC Review Panel http://www.bebc.co.uk/bookreviewpresent)
'The book provides an excellent bridge from General English to EAP by keeping to a format familiar to EFL students. It's easy to use and extremely thorough in its approach. Students can pick and choose not only which units to study but also select sub-sections within each, making it extremely practical. (...) The material is ideal for a Student Access Centre or for self-study. It would also provide teachers with an excellent framework for planning a series of lessons - a quick look at the contents page is a fool proof guide to teaching presentations.' Sharon Chalmers, Director of Studies, Live Language, Glasgow (full review published by BEBC Review Panel http://www.bebc.co.uk/bookreviewpresent)
