How To Write And Deliver Talks

As ELT professionals, we may well be called upon to give talks at conferences, something which is way outside the comfort zone for many of us. In this practical book, experienced author and seasoned speaker Lewis Lansford has addressed the issues around preparing and delivering talks and webinars. For anyone thinking about giving a talk in any context, this book is a must-read.

This book provides:

  • a detailed overview of writing and structuring a talk, designing the slides and technical tips for embedding audio and video.
  • guidance on how to avoid typical pitfalls.
  • personal reflections and hard-learned lessons from seasoned ELT practitioners.
  • help with finding our own voice and delivering the best talk we can.
