Summary/Abstract: This endeavour is part of a broader project, which will materialize in a students’ book. It is designed in anattempt to help them improve their communication, presentation and public speaking skills on the onehand, and to enhance their self-esteem and confidence on the other, thus boosting their marketabilitywhen they leave school and enter the workforce. The present paper introduces the rationale and themethodology used in teaching the structure, rules and strategies of effective oral presentations to nonnativeESP students in general and Business English students in particular. Subsumed under the categoryof important professional skills, presentation skills are regarded as a prerequisite of the present-dayworking environment in addition to hard skills and formal qualifications. A good command of Englishand an excellent ability of expressing the desired message or presenting a view or an idea clearly,concisely and confidently increases considerably students’ chances for future employment.
