In academia, oral presentation of a research is of great importance. Often, it is the aspect of the research process that determines whether the study will indeed have an impact in its field and the society in general, as it is the oral presentation that introduces it to them. A good research may not be brought to the fore successfully if not presented well. It may not be too much to say that the oral presentation of a research can make or break a researcher. The chapters in this book aim to enhance the researcher's ability to deliver a good presentation. Examples of language expressions, good organisation of information and effective delivery are provided. The guidelines provided will assist the presenter from the preparation stage right to the actual presentation, giving recommendations to ensure maximum impact on the audience. The book also provides criteria for evaluating presentations, which will help the presenter go a step beyond audience expectations.
