avoid errors in English by using short easy-to-say sentences
improve your English pronunciation and intonation
gain confidence, and overcome nerves and embarrassment
highlight the essential points you want your audience to remember
attract and retain audience attention

This new edition contains several additional features, including stimulating factoids and discussion points both for self-study and in-class use. New chapters also cover:
learning from talks on TED
networking with potential collaborators, professors, fellow researchers
