- lecturing in English, e.g., English medium instruction (EMI)
- English for specific academic fields
- academic/professional writing, e.g., for job seeking or career advancement
- English pronunciation, especially for technical terminology and for academic contexts

You can find many examples of good speakers to learn from on Youtube and TED.com. For examples of academic lectures in your field or related fields, try OCW sites (OpenCourseWare) - these are sites where universities have made class lectures freely available to the public.

Many of these sites can be found via Google, but here are a few to start with.
