DESCRIPTION
Here's a presentation given at Hirosaki University as a faculty development seminar on how professors should teach students to publish and give presentations in English. The video on the final slide comes from YouTube so it's not included here - search for "how to improve your presentations" by SpeakFirst to find the video I used. My notes for each slide are included in the notes section, so make sure to check them out.TRANSCRIPT
