This book is designed to help non-native English speakers to prepare and
deliver effective presentations at international conferences. It will be
the first book ever written on presentations specifically from the
perspective of non-native English speakers. It will be written in an
English that readers will be able to understand easily. This is not
'simple' English as a native speaker would interpret it, but a particular
way of writing with minimal redundancy in which key points are highlighted
clearly. The book will cover not only the typical difficulties of all
presenters (structure, gaining audience attention, graphics on slides etc),
but will also focus above all on those issues that cause specific problems
for the non-native.Good presentation skills are key to a successful career
in academia. English for Presentations at International Conferences is an
essential title, as this is the first guide to giving presentations at
international conferences ever written specifically for researchers and
professors whose first language is not English. With easy-to-follow rules
and tips, and with examples taken from real presentations, the book covers:

* English usage
* gaining and maintaining audience attention
* handing questions and answers from the audience
* overcoming nerves
* preparing and practicing
* pronunciation and intonation
* slide preparation
* useful phrases for each stage of the presentation

Adrian Wallwork is the author of more than 20 ELT and EAP textbooks.
He has trained several thousand PhD students and researchers from 35
countries to prepare and give presentations. This guide is thus also
highly recommended for trainers in English for Academic Purposes.
