Authors

Abstract

Abstract. In the modern world of communication, presentation skills are required daily. We are all aware that giving any presentation at work is actually a chance for personal promotion, proving your own value and introducing some new ideas. As such, it has to be taken very seriously. Doing needs analysis is where we should start. The only safe way is to practice, using the authentic material, record the performance, keep track of time, and polish the language skills. Teaching English language skills is what a teacher is supposed to do in any class. What stands as a huge challenge is getting approximately the same level of knowledge in the field of your client’s expertise. The ultimate question of the exact role of the teacher in the teaching process is inevitable here. You need to be an English teacher, a professional life coach, and to have an insight into the field of expertise of your student.
