as in...
what color is black?
Maybe narrow the field a bit?
Business and presentations as in for:
marketing, economics, sales, purchasing, and management to name but a few of the fields with their own specialized "lingo".
What group? 20-somethings selling insurance and financial instruments or 50-somethings making presentations to foreign investors.

Thanks Tom...I guess I've got to get more information! I'll get back with that as soon as possible.
However, I believe the presentation course will be to help people lecture and teach in English. |

I developed a whole course on presentations - see the handouts/materials on EFL Classroom 2.0 under Resources - Public speaking . Also some cool videos there of my students presenting on topics. Great to have students critically watch presentation and discuss good/bad. Even in class, do peer evaluations.
I've used the framework or "cloze" there, a zillion times. Works wonders and so well....
I'd also highly recommend the above mentioned text. The important thing is to give the students maximum time actually practicing in class. This will give you the best evaluation and student satisfaction IMHO.
