ELI Fall 2025 Workshop Series: English for Academic Purposes

Public speaking is a challenge for almost everyone. When you give a presentation, does your voice express confidence? Is it loud enough? Do your listeners easily understand you? Is your audience engaged? Do you know how to manage the”Q&A”time after the presentation? In this workshop you will learn techniques to gain confidence and comfort when speaking in front of small and large groups. You will leave with tips and resources to use in future presentations. Everyone will give a short presentation on a topic of your choice: a self-introduction, overview of your field of study, or a quick story of an interesting experience.
