Oral presentation skills

Hi all, this morning was a great session on effective and ineffective oral presentation delivery. If you were unable to make the class today, please come and get the PP slides from the session. In addition to the factors affecting POSITIVE presentation delivery, the groups came up with the following points for discussion:

  • The subject
  • Being able to use PowerPoint effectively (and simply)
  • Having a plan
  • Using notes (but too many, and definitely NOT a whole script)
  • Being prepared for the question and answer session
  • Using language appropriate to the content of the talk
  • How you dress
  • Displaying and using statistics (where necessary) to enhance the information presented
  • WORDS!
  • Positive attitude
  • Honesty, being up front
  • Audience participation, integration, interaction
  • Fun for the audience (where possible)
  • Voice variation
  • Articulation
  • Hand outs for the audience
  • Humour (if appropriate)

Well done all, Mark

  1. I still believe that the earlier someone starts learning a second language, the faster or more likely it will be for them to master it. Will certainly visit your site more often now.
