"Want to be presenting in English." vs "Want to present in English."

HI All

I read a sentense on a website as follow : "There are three points that are crucial to reducing your accent if you want to be presenting in English."

Why should I use "Want to be presenting in English."? Counld I just use"Want to present in English."? What's the difference between these two sentenses?

Please help me get the answer. Thank you very much!!!

You could use want to present. The progressive form might suggest that this is a repeated activity, but it doesn't sound very natural to me.
