Speech/Presentation Books
So, I'm in Busan now and just went into work yesterday. I found out that I'll be teaching a class on speaking/presentations. Any textbook recommendations?
It might be too late now as the semester has most likely started for you, but two recommendations:
First, at a basic level, "English for Presentations" by Marion Grussendorf (Oxford Business English) has some good material, but is, in my opinion, far from a great book, but still a good book.
Second, at a more advanced level, the gold standard is, "The Art of Public Speaking" by Stephan Lucas.
