UNIT IV
PRESENTATIONS
Reading
1. Read through the article from a training manual about presentation.
Ten Steps towards a Successful Presentation
F. 1. Define who these people are. Define their essential features and motivations. What work do they do, what is their level of education, what kind of language do they use, what problems and opportunities might they have?
2. There must be something special about your expertise that is of interest to the audience. An audience can be disappointed if the speaker ignores the reason why he or she was chosen.
3. When you were invited, you were probably given a general idea. The best thing is to take only as much time as is necessary. The only thing worse than being long and boring is being too short and not fully understood.
4. Your knowledge of their problems is probably why you were invited to speak. They expect new insights, a different point of view, and ideas that they can take away and use so that they feel their time was well spent listening to you.
5. If your audience is from a particular industry, what terminology doеs it understand best? The audience dictates your choice of words, but remember, you should always make your language clear and concise, especially if the language is not your mother tongue.
6. Yes, but what is funny in one culture may not be in another. The subject of your presentation is probably serious and, for some people, humour may be out of place. A light touch here and there is all right but humour cannot replace good ideas.
7. If they make your speech easier to understand, yes. But make them clear and simple. Don't laboriously read out aloud what is written on your slides. Make sure that everyone can see them, even from the back of the room.
8. Speak loudly enough to make your voice carry to the furthest listener. No one wants to listen to someone who mumbles and who does not speak with conviction.
9. Make direct eye contact. Try to convince your audience you are talking to them personally. It also makes you feel that you have made contact with them as individuals.
10. Yes, make an outline, perhaps on small cards, and consult them as you speak. This forces you to organize your presentation in a logical, coherent way and not wander off the point.
