Speaking AE2 – Effective presentation (Course code: EN012IU) is a compulsory course at International University which aims to provide students with the knowledge and skills needed to deliver effective presentations.

These attitude-related issues are discussed in Unit 4 – The right kind of language, Unit 6 – Body Language, and Unit 8 – Question …show more content…
