Highlights

The ability to deliver academic presentations with impact and persuasiveness is imperative. Impactful academic presentations help project professional image to audiences and achieve academic and career successes. Non-native speakers often find academic presentations in English challenging because they are required to respond to questions raised by audiences in academic conferences, viva voce, or coursework in higher education.
