Modul 2 - Wahlbaustein 2.2 oder Modul 3 - Wahlbaustein 3.3
This course provides you with training and practice in giving professional presentations and lectures in English. By the end of the course, you will know how to give a memorable presentation with a clear message. You will be given the linguistic tools in order to signal structure, build rapport with the audience, handle questions and close the presentation confidently. We will also discuss how to adapt your presentation to an audience of mixed English ability, and in the later sections of the course you will be given the opportunity to practise your English presenting skills and to receive individualized feedback.
On day two, participants will hold a presentation after lunchtime. For this reason, all participants will need to prepare a five to ten minute presentation in advance of the workshop, which they will then modify during the workshop to incorporate the techniques we have discussed. An email will be sent two weeks before the course begins with further guidelines on the presentations, and by the end of the workshop, participants will feel more confident in delivering content in English to heterogeneous audiences.
Goals:
- Use a variety of methods to open and close presentations and lectures
- Signal structure to give audience a sense of direction
- Build a rapport with the audience
- Handle difficult question and answer sessions
- Adapt presentations so that they are suitable for international audiences
Methods:

- Class discussion
- Practical exercises (synchronous and asynchronous)
- Presenting practice
- Individual and group feedback
Participants must have at least level B2 / upper intermediate to advanced English skills.
