Sommario/riassunto

This book examines student presentations as a genre of English for Academic Purposes (EAP), and analyses the elements of speech and audience accommodation which make a successful presentation. Offering an antidote to the audience-centric approach to presentation design and delivery promoted by numerous books and manuals on the subject, each chapter tackles an under-researched aspect of student presentations, and presents data-based evidence for practical recommendations within the genre. The language analyses presented in the book are based on a real-life corpus of student presentations, providing clear examples of successful oral academic discourse. This



book will be of interest to students of applied linguistics, EAP, TESOL and language education. Alla Zareva is Professor and Graduate Program Director of the Applied Linguistics Program in the Department of English at Old Dominion University, USA.
