Teach Business English presentation skills with this practical, ready-to-use ESL resource for learners who need to give presentations in English. Students learn essential presentation vocabulary and useful expressions for structuring a talk, guiding an audience through a presentation, moving between topics, giving examples, clarifying information, summarizing and inviting questions.
The activities combine vocabulary, reading, listening and writing practice, allowing students to recognize and use common language for giving a presentation in English.
Students begin by learning common presentation equipment, including a flip chart, projector, screen, speakers, microphone, handout and other useful vocabulary.
They then move on to the language of presentations, learning how to begin and structure a talk and how to use signpost language to help an audience follow their ideas.
Students practice useful expressions for:
- beginning a presentation;
- outlining the structure of a talk;
- moving on to another topic;
- ending a topic;
- giving examples;
- paraphrasing and clarifying;
- summarizing and concluding;
- inviting questions.
Listening activities give students the opportunity to hear presentation language in context, while guided exercises help reinforce useful vocabulary, phrases and sentence structure.
