Course content

We will briefly look at some necessary English grammar. From that we will go on to looking at presentation skills. We will look at how to perform well, as well as discussing common mistakes. All students are required to prepare and hold presentations, based on their own research. These presentations will be used for further discussion about the dos and don'ts of presentations. Some time will also be dedicated to non-verbal communication and visuals.
