It is not uncommon in Japan to hold international conferences that require giving presentations in English and opportunities to present research contents in English are increasing in many fields of science. If we cannot make a presentation that conveys to the audience, we cannot obtain further feedback through questioning and answering. However, there are not many opportunities to learn about how to make the presentation in English.
　
　Therefore, we invited Mr. Jean Pierre Corbeil from ALC Press Inc. as a lecturer, and 2-day intensive seminar will be held to improve presentation skills in English.

Lecturer
