2.1 Communicating Beyond the Verbal
（言葉を超えてコミュニケーションを図る）
I’m going to give a presentation on my research into British gardens tourism at an international conference. I’m really excited, but feeling anxious at the same time.
Oh, I see. Let us know if there’s anything we can do for you.
Yeah, I’ll be happy to help you out.
I was actually going to ask you. Can you please help me with a mock presentation?
No problem!
Sometimes, I find myself just reading from a script while presenting because the words don’t come out. Also, I’m afraid to look awkward.
Oh you can say that again! I’ll pay attention to your non-verbal delivery, and give you some comments on that.
That sounds great.
It’s always good to get feedback from your colleagues. Let’s start the practice now!
