Participants' Comments

• It was great that the instructor pointed out points that I would not have noticed if I had checked with others in the same research field. I learned many expressions that I would have never thought of using otherwise. Also, the advice on the structure of the PowerPoint slides was very helpful.
• It was good that I had a chance to use a projector and a big screen so I could get a feel for the real presentation setting. I also liked that I could choose the parts I wanted to brush up on.
• I liked that I could practice and improve through one-on-one conversations and that the time and frequency of practice were flexible.
• It was beneficial to learn about poster presentations at international conferences. The instructors gave me various advice on pronunciation, speaking tendencies, and how to prepare myself and answer questions.
• The instructor always tried to fulfill my needs, and I was glad to receive feedback not only on the general content but also on the specific structure of the presentation itself.
• This support makes me more confident when I need to present my presentation. Sensei gave me a lot of suggestions, advice, and recommendations; therefore, I can improve my presentation skills.
