TEXTS IN EDUCATION CONFERENCING AND PRESENTAT...

This book discusses and demonstrates the types of English discourse used at academic
conferences and offers guidance to prospective conference participants from multiple
perspectives. It is a combination of research taken from numerous academic conferences attended
and observations made by the author  based on well-established research methods in applied
linguistics  as well as a guidebook aimed at students  ESP teachers  and young academics and
professionals wishing to upgrade their skills to participate fruitfully in  and contribute to 
academic conferences. It offers academic novices and non-native speakers of English in
particular much that is new and practical  far beyond the realm of simple 'presentation tips'.
It addresses various topics  such as chairing discussions  poster management  discussion
sessions  the TED phenomenon  workshops  and the emerging field of English as a lingua franca.
The style alternates between the accessible and practical  and the analysis of the linguistic
categories underpinning the discourse: genre analysis  the nature of the specialist discourse
community  features of academic spoken discourse  and the presentation as multimodal narrative
are all explored. The book includes authentic samples of model speech discourse throughout 
along with questions and exercises for deliberation or practice in each chapter.
