The ability to deliver academic presentations with impact and persuasiveness is imperative. Impactful academic presentations help project professional image to audiences and achieve academic and career successes. Non-native speakers often find academic presentations in English challenging because they are required to respond to questions raised by audiences in academic conferences, viva voce, or coursework in higher education.

To speak and write natural English, the use of collocations plays an important part. A collocation refers to two or more words that often go together.
 

For example, we say 'fast food' instead of 'quick food' and 'quick shower' but not 'fast shower'.  Mastering collocations will make your language more natural and more easily understood and thus have alternative and richer ways of expressing yourself.
