So, do you think Matt did this?
Training • On the spur of the moment. Give a two-minute presentation about your partner to another class member. Make use of the ‘presentation advice’. Before you start, interview the person sitting next to you. You can use the following questions to help you. 16
Training - What is your name and what do you study? - Why have you chosen your current studies? - What are your plans after you finish your studies? - Could you describe what your English lessons up until now have been like? How did you like them? Were they helpful? Why (not)? - Has the English you learned in school helped you in your current studies so far? How? - What role does English play in your everyday-life? - What are the most important skills you think you need in order to function well in an English-speaking environment? - What are the skills that you feel you are good at? - What are the skills you think need improvement? - What are you hoping to learn during this course? - What are you hoping to avoid during this course? 17
Preparing Presentations
Preparing Presentations • There are of course many factors which influence the style of a presentation: – What is the purpose of the presentation? – How many people are in the audience? – How "formal" is the overall situation? etc. • Another significant factor is the country and culture where the presentation is being made.
Training (reader p.4) • When you give a presentation in your culture, which of the following do you do? Choose and put in sequence. If any steps are missing add them in yourself. [___] Tell a joke. [___] Make a general statement [___] Refer to visuals. [___] Ask the audience to introduce themselves. [___] Ask questions. [___] Summarise. [___] State your objectives. [___] Smile at the audience. [___] Take your jacket off. [___] Look serious to inspire confidence. [___] _____________________ [___] _____________________
Training (reader p.4) From your own experience of attending presentations, have you noticed any major differences in national styles?
Giving Presentations Openings, Signposting, and Survival Tactics
Effective Openings • The first three minutes of a presentation are the most important. • The speaker needs a ‘hook’, a simple technique for getting attention. • A good start makes the speaker feel confident.
Effective Openings • Three ways of ‘hooking’ your audience: – Give them a problem to think about. – Give them some amazing facts. – Give them a story or a personal anecdote.
Effective Openings • Problem Technique 1. Suppose …………………………………… How would you …………………………… 2. Have you ever wondered why it is that …..? You have? Well, if I could show you ……… ….. would you be interested? 3. How many people here this morning ……..? Well, imagine ……………………………… ….. Do you think that is possible?
Effective Openings • Amazing Facts Technique 1. Did you know that ………………………..? 2. According to the latest study, ………..…., 3. Statistics show that ……………………….. 4. I read somewhere the other day that ……
Effective Openings • Story/ Anecdote Technique 1. You know, ……………………………….. When I think about ………………………. I’m reminded of ………………………….. 2. Have you ever been in a situation where …………….? I remember when ………………………… It turned out ……………………………….
Signposting • What you say - the content - is more important than anything else. • Structure helps • When moving to the next point or when changing direction, tell the audience.
Signposting • Signposts to guide your audience through your presentation: To move on To expand on To digress To go back To recap To conclude To summarize To turn to To elaborate on
Signposting • Neat, short signposts are more effective. • Keep it simple OK. So ……………..
Survival Tactics • Common Problems – Getting your facts wrong – Getting the way you say something wrong – Getting the structure of your talk wrong
Survival Tactics WHAT YOU THINK WHAT YOU SAY I’ve got my facts wrong. Sorry, what I meant is this ... Too fast! Go back. So, lets just recap on that. I’ve forgotten to say Sorry, I should just something! mention one thing. Too complicated! Make it So, basically, what I’m simple saying is this …
Survival Tactics WHAT YOU THINK WHAT YOU SAY I’m talking nonsense. Sorry, perhaps I didn’t make that quite clear. How do I say this in Sorry, what’s the word/ English? expression? Wrong! Try again. Sorry, let me rephrase that. So, just to give you the I’m running out of main points here. time
Training You are going to watch a video called ‘Bill Gates: Mosquitos, Malaria and Education’ While watching, write down as many examples of signposting as you can find. Also, briefly comment on the ‘hook’ the presenter used in his presentation and whether it was effective. Discuss what you’ve found with a fellow student.
Training For your topic of your choice, prepare a ‘hook’ that will catch the interest of your audience. You will be asked to present your hook in front of the group. The length should be approximately 2 minutes.
