Public speaking is difficult for most people, even English speakers, but it can be especially daunting for immigrants whose first language is not English. Giving presentations has become an integral part of many jobs, especially in the fields of business and science. Many factors can affect a presentation: organization, preparation, comprehensibility, pronunciation, even non-verbal cues.
