Presentation Skills

Material for our classes: assignments in our subject will be written and oral.

When you are giving a presentation, you usually talk in front of a group of people in a clear, structured way (about a certain topic). Presentations are a very useful tool for teachers to make students develop different skills and study strategies.

How to succeed in giving presentations?

Must-remember tips:

• Before the presentation, be sure you have all your materials ready.
• Introduce yourself and the topic of your presentation. The audience needs to know who is talking and what is he/she talking about.
• Be ready not to read all the time, people will get bored!
• Keep the presentation simple, giving new and significant content. Remember that your audience can read the full paper later, and look for information on the net.
• Show your knowledge of the topic: be ready to answer any question that may arise!
• Always remember that the end of the presentation is as important as the beginning!
