Speaking Assessment - Presentation
Notes:
Content
All presentations were well researched and the speakers well prepared.
Organisation
Work still needed here - learn your signposting language and use it. Some problems with the formulas e.g. that brings me to the end of my presentation or first conditional for questions. 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.
Presentation Skills
Eye communication, don't look at the floor - maintain eye contact with the whole audience. Often there was too much information on the power point slides - these should just feature key phrases - don't be tempted to read from the screen.
Many of you speak very quickly when you are nervous - breathe - slow down.
Pronunciation
3 areas to work on:
Intonation & chunking - turn hesitations into pauses.
Vowel sounds: crisis, luxury, minor, analysis,
Silent Letters: debt
Grammar and Vocabulary
High Numbers:
Structure:
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?
