ENGLISH FOR ACADEMIC RESEARCH GIVING AN ACADE...

This book is for university students  with at least a mid-intermediate level of English. It can
be used as part of an English for Academic Purposes (EAP) course  either alone or with the
companion volume Writing an Academic Paper in English. The chapters are independent so that EAP
teachers and students can choose those sections that best fit their needs. This means that a
course could range from a minimum of 20 hours  up to 60 hours or more. There is an introductory
chapter that includes what role academics play in today's world  where success is not just
measured in terms of paper output and presentations at conferences  but also in involvement
interdisciplinary projects and supporting society at large. Each chapter covers either a
particular skill (e.g. preparing a script  pronunciation  visuals  how to begin and end a
presentation) or the particular purpose of a specific moment in a presentation. For example 
the final slide is designed not just to conclude and thank the audience  but is an opportunity
to reach out for collaborations and assistance. The aims of each part of a presentation are
also highlighted by comparisons with non-academic situations where similar skills are required.
The course is highly practical with screenshots from real presentations given by PhD students.
It is also designed to be fun to use. Other books in the series: Writing an Academic Paper in
