Chapter 1: Introduction: Why Look into Student Academic Presentations? -- Chapter 2: Survey of Books and Guides on Academic Presentations -- Chapter 3: Lexical Profiles of Student Academic Presentations -- Chapter 4: Collocations in Student Academic Presentations -- Chapter 5: Summary of Findings and Take-Aways.

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.

Sommario/riassunto

The book collects the latest research and thinking from international experts on green computing and the smart city. The financial and environmental costs of energy are a concern in smart cities due to the high usage of computing, technology, security, IoT, communications, traffic, and other technologies. This book tackles this problem with a focus on computing, reporting on various approaches being taken worldwide, illustrated by several international case studies demonstrating these approaches. Researchers use this book as an up-to-date reference and engineers use it as a guide for the design and implementation of real solutions.
