Abstract
Presentation skills belong to the general set of professional skills set forth by the National ELT Curriculum for Universities. Regardless of the specialization, the students will face the objective of preparing and conducting presentation in their professional domain. Therefore, the necessity arises to introduce the teaching module, an algorithm or a set of tasks that will satisfy the students' need to develop presentation skills in view of specific professional context. The article is aimed at determining the peculiarities of professionally oriented monologues of tourism experts, as well as developing the algorithm of enhancing presentation skills of the respective professionals in the English classroom within a separate teaching module. The suggested algorithm contains three stages: receptive-reproductive, reproductive-productive and productive. For each stage a set of tasks is developed, adjusted to the context of professional communication in the field of tourism. The teaching materials in the form of presentations are developed based on the actual slides posted online as a follow-up of specialized conferences and other events. The article elaborates on the most popular topics for presentations in the field. Since following the B1 level of English mastery teaching monologue for professional purposes is focused mainly on the composition and coherence of speech and mastering the specific functional exponents used in presentations, the tasks aim at building students' confidence and awareness of various presentation types, teaching them to collect materials for presentations, use PowerPoint presentation samples, compile facilitator notes to the slides, comment on the graphs, tables, diagrams, pictures and numerical data.
