A New System to Learn public speaking:
Quick Presentations in English breaks a presentation into five main parts to make learning easy and fast. Hundreds of sample sentences are included for each stage of the presentation, making it easy to practice.
This book can help anyone overcome his/her fear of making professional presentations. Through a structured approach, presentations are easy to learn and teach with this guide. With many years of experience, Professor Warden makes this difficult skill seem easy. The English text is easy for students of English as a second language (ESL) to follow while each point is followed up with examples.
Four DVDs (sold separately) match the book with practice sentences all included in both audio and video. Example presentations include both one good example (how to do it right) and one bad example (things to be careful not to do). The presentations include an office meeting with staff, a consulting presentation to managers, a factory introduction to visitors, and an academic presentation.
For teachers, you can receive 4 DVDs for use in class as well as 3 audio CDs. The DVDs include eight presentations, four good and four bad, with English subtitles (that can be turned on or off). The sample presentations include business meetings, factory introduction, and conferences. Also on the DVDs are practices (ten practice sentences at a time, as well as quizzes and answers to quizzes). This is a great resource of the classroom if you want to give today's students more input as well as helping you add structure to your class
