HOW TO GIVE A PRESENTATION
TIPS ON HOW TO GIVE A PRESENTATION
a)
Watch this video from youtube:
You should realize that the two key
issues in the preparation of a talk are:
- The message: What do I want the audience to know when I am finished?
- The audience: How do I present my
talk so that the audience will understand and remember what I have said?
1.
Introduction: In the opening,
i.e. the first few sentences, you catch the attention, for example by means of
a question, or a catchy or maybe even provocative statement. Try to speak
slowly, with emphasis, and look at the audience.
2.
Body: Develop the main
ideas you introduced, using adequate connectors to show coherence and cohesion.
3.
Conclusions and Ending: Conclusions
should be properly announced to regain full audience attention. Present your
conclusions in relation to the questions you raised in the introduction. Avoid
all irrelevant details and do not introduce new information. Then you may end
with a final sentence that repeats the message of your talk.
4.
Visual Aids: Recently the use
of computer projection with a beamer has become popular. No doubt, this offers
wonderful opportunities for spectacular effects. Also, the usual presentation
software offers so many inviting opportunities that speakers often use
ineffective colour combinations and disturbing background patterns. Try to
avoid these widespread mistakes.
