ECII B2+2 Group 1 Lesson 6

Lesson 6
Speaking Assessment - Presentation

Notes:
Content
With the exception of one pair who talked too generally about the problems facing the industry in general rather than a company in particular and suggesting appropriate solutions, the presentations were well researched and achieved their aim. Remember though to only go into the history of a company as an introduction if this is relevant to the aim of your talk.
Organisation
Work still needed here - learn your signposting language and use it. The more information you have, the more you need to signal each point to the audience. Some introductions did not include an overview and conclusions were often quite weak. Remember too to introduce your partner appropriately This is _____ and he/she will be talking to you about, Now I'll hand over to _____ who is going to discuss.
Presentation Skills
Try not to fold your arms or put your hands in your pockets. Check spelling on your visuals.
Pronunciation
3 areas to work on:
Vowel sounds: crisis, Boeing, financial, area, subscription, cover, immediate, services, Middle East.

Homework
For your self study write about your experience today. What went well, what could have gone better, if you had to do it again what would you do differently? What did you learn from your colleagues' presentations and what did you learn from doing your own?
