INTRODUCTORY REMARKS

This electronic study support has been created in the frame of project From the
Beginner to the Mentor (Supporting Strategies of Education of Teachers in Zlin
Region) financially supported by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of
the Czech Republic, from Fund of Educational Policy.

The text should help learners acquire basic skills necessary for professional
presentations. It is divided into 7 chapters, each of them dealing with a specific
area of knowledge and skills. Some parts of the text are vocabularies for specific
purposes (e.g. signposts, graph description). The text is completed with links to
publicly available Internet sources, which will contribute to more complex
perception of the issue. The video sections are located on Youtube channel. In
brackets you´ll find the name of video and the time of duration. Youtube also
enables the viewer to get subtitles, which might help those on a lower
level of English understand better.

The danger for Internet sources is that they can be removed from the address
given here. However, search engines will help you find what you´re looking for.

Each chapter starts with warm-up and motivating questions, and also the
estimated time for study is given (for language level B2).

The text is practically oriented, largely based on the author´s experience. The
structure follows study text Communication Skills for International Conferences,
written by Lengálová in 2008 and is adapted to the target group of teachers. It
doesn´t contain many references to literature, instead the literature studied is
given as bibliography.
