Day 5 Session 1(Tuesday, 14 October 2014, 9 – 10.30 am)
ENGLISH LANGUAGE CLASS EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS: PRESENTATIONS
A presentation is the process of presenting a topic to an
audience. It is typically a demonstration, lecture, or speech meant to inform,
persuade, or build good will. For professionals today, presentation and
public-speaking skills are more important than ever. Strong presentation skills
and the ability to engage and connect can truly set you apart from the crowd.
In classroom, we, teachers, spend most
of the time helping our students for the middle part of a presentation and
possibly will overlook the opening and the end of the presentation. Throughout
the session conducted by Mr. Chris, we discovered the KISS principle which
stands for Keep It Short and Simple. A quick research on the internet, the KISS
principle was coined by a U.S Navy engineer. It states that most systems work best if they are kept simple
rather than made complicated.
Personally,
I feel this session is not just meaningful for the students and it also can
help me to do better in my presentation or when I am teaching in the classroom.
So, here are the tips for giving presentation:
·
