7、y realize that they did it all by themselves.” Here he offers tips for successfully educating young people about presentation skills:Do your homework.“Carefully read the coordinators manual and take advantage of the resources offered by Toastmasters,” says Clark. “There are districts all over the wo

9、th change. I also emphasize being purposeful with your gestures; kids love that.”Encourage children to give as many speeches as they want.“Initially, many kids are a little shy, but once they start speaking, they often dont want to stop,” says Clark. “Have as many children as possible speak at each

10、session.”Limit participants.Clark likes to keep his class size to no more than 25 students so that he can cover all the important topics and give everyone a chance to speak.Minimize handouts and topics covered.Kids can only soak up so much information in each session. Dont pile a bunch of paperwork

11、on them, which can be overwhelming. Instead focus on one topic, such as gestures, speech openings or giving evaluations.Enjoy yourself.Have fun with the kids and theyll have fun, too, says Clark. “Relax, get a little silly, and use plenty of humor.”Examples: The points that a public speaker should t

Practical strategies to involve the audience are questions, comprehension checks, and tasks. Examples of questions are “Do

15、 you have any questions about this concept or this vocabulary that I just taught?” Always ask specific questions instead of general questions such as “Do you have any questions?” Comprehension checks are essential tools to involve your audience. Examples of comprehension checks are “Is everyone with

16、 me so far?”, “Is everyone on the same page?”, “Can you repeat the definition of X, in your own words?” Tasks are small exercise to check the audiences understanding. The presenter can throw a question to the audience and encourage them to discuss it with the person sitting next to him/her for appro

17、ximately thirty seconds to one minute. The audience will be asked to report their thoughts to the rest of the group.Response to the Audience InputIf the answer from the audience is incorrect, the presenter can say good try or good guess. Never say the word wrong or incorrect to embarrass those who t

18、ry hard enough to produce a response. If the answer from the audience is right, respond to them positively by saying very good, excellent, terrific. Many times, if your student presenters do not know the answer to the questions from the audience, your student presenter can say “I do not have an imme

19、diate answer to your question. I will look it up and get back to you, if you remind me.” Its normal that you do not know everything in this world.Non-verbal CommunicationGaze, facial expression, movement, and gesture are typical means of non-verbal communication. Most of my students lack movement du

Especially to the students who have soft voices, it is strongly encouraged that they come closer to the audience to talk from time to time.Use of Visual MaterialsNowadays, using powerpoint

21、is not uncommon in presentations. Still, it will be a good idea to supplement the talk with a handout containing key points of the presentation, pictures, or illustrations. Real objects are good tools to help your students present an idea efficiently.PacingPacing means balancing the amount of inform

22、ation with the speed of presentation and the time allotted. Always rehearse the presentations as many times as possible. Always time yourself in the rehearsals. In actual presentation, the number of the questions from the audience is often unpredictable. Sometimes, you just cannot present all the ma

23、terials you have prepared. Always present the more important information first. When you run out of time, you can cut those least important parts that follow.The preparation of Business presentations1Presentations are often a problematic area for Business English students.
