Skills Presentation Skills from the LACS Centre is a set of materials designed for short presentation courses with students for whom English is a foreign language. The materials are of a general nature and are suitable for both business-related and technical presentations. The materials consist of four main lessons. Lesson 1 Organization and outlines Lesson 2 Presenting graphs and charts Lesson 3 Summarizing and reading data Lesson 4 Signals and linking In addition, there are three sample presentations, a language reference, and an appendix on delivery skills.
Student numbers have a bearing on the time required to complete a course.
The times suggested here are based around a class of six to eight students. This is quite a good size for this kind of course. If the Presentation Skills materials are to be the sole materials for the course, then this can probably be completed in four 3-hour sessions. However, it's common to plan a presentation skills course around individual presentations that each student has to make. These are often held on the final day of a course.
