You will also learn ways to find the words to make a strong case for why you are a great match for the program(s) you are applying to.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ELI Academic English Workshops - Tips for Effective Public Speaking
DESCRIPTION:Public speaking is a challenge for almost everyone. When you give a presentation\, does your voice express confidence? Is it loud enough? Do your listeners easily understand you? Is your audience engaged? Do you know how to manage the ”Q&A” time after the presentation? In this workshop\, you will learn techniques to gain confidence and comfort when speaking in front of small and large groups. You will leave with tips and resources to use in future presentations. Everyone will practice giving a (very!) short informal presentation on a topic of your choice: a self-introduction\, an overview of your field of study\, or a quick story of an interesting experience. Registration is required. Please use the provided link.
