Collaborative Action Research -- A Tool to Enrich Presentation Skills of the Professional Students.

The ability to present one's own thoughts to the other is one of the keys to success in this age of communication. With the advent of globalization, the present era has got an unprecedented significance for presentation skills. Professional students are required to communicate clearly and confidently to succeed in their academic and professional careers. Most of the professional students are struggling to communicate as they feel less confident to voice their views in any public speaking activities like addressing people, participating in debates, group discussions and interviews. It is because there is a lacuna between the academic curricula and industry requirements. The present paper aspires to exude confidence levels and to develop presentation skills employing tailor made activities. It aims at exploring some of the common problems students have during their presentations and intends to suggest solutions and improve their presentation skills. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
