As presentations have become a vital part of the academic and professional worlds, learners require effective guidance and training for skill development. Mark Yoshida answers these demands in his student-centred textbook which focuses on the basic to advanced skills, while providing interactive teaching methods for fun and enjoyable lessons. Presentation Essentials has been designed for students and teachers who want complete and comprehensive lessons. The textbook also provides effective ideas and exercises for teachers to supplement the materials they already have. Each complete and logically structured unit provides five key sections for fun warm-ups, to actively think & discuss, to carefully understand the key skill elements, to critically analyse & discuss and then to thoroughly practice presentations. It's perfect for planning and designing a complete presentation curriculum to help learners develop the essential presentation skills needed today.
