Students will be able to make effective presentations by demonstrating such important skills as structuring information, using an appropriate language style, using visual aids, adopting the right body language, using effective linkers, connectors, graphs and charts, emphasizing and minimizing information and the contrast between written and spoken language.
Students learn vocabulary, grammar in the context of the materials used for listening activities, speaking activities and student generated writing.
