functional English. Through successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

understand the importance of verbal and nonverbal communication;

identify the reasons for presenting;

3) know how to construct a speech or a presentation for a particular audience;

4) structure a speech or a presentation for clarity and conciseness;

5) use visual aids to improve presentation;

deliver engaging speeches and high-impact presentations;

demonstrate confidence and proficiency in giving a technical presentation.
