【Course Objectives】

This course is designed primarily to improve students’ presentation skills and thereby their speaking, reading, and listening skills as well. Students will learn basic presentation skills.

【Course Contents】

The following list provides the minimum requirements for students in Presentation Classes. The degree and sophistication of each skill taught will depend on the class, class level and teacher, but the elements listed in 3 below, and the number and type of presentations listed in 1 and 2 should be covered in class.
1. Number of Presentations
1) At least one individual mini presentation (approximately 2 min) or one group presentation (2 min per speaker)
2) A final individual presentation (level 2: 6 min, level 3: 5 min, level 4: 4 min)
*Please note: Reading presentation drafts is not allowed for any presentations. Students are allowed only to look at cue cards or PowerPoint slides / notes.

2. Contents of the Final Presentation
1) Level 2: persuasive speech with at least some research
2) Levels 3 & 4: informative or persuasive speech (depending on ability)

3. Teaching Elements
1) Structural elements
a. Organization of a presentation (introduction/body/conclusion)
b. The elements of each part: introduction/body/conclusion
c. Transitions and sequencers
d. Making outlines/cue cards
It is most important that students have a clear grasp of these aspects of making a presentation.
2) Physical elements
a. Posture
b. Voice – volume, clarity, inflection
c. Eye contact
d. Gestures
3) Visual elements
a. How to make effective visuals
i. Content-visual relationship
ii. Level 2: making concise, audience-friendly visuals (including graphs and tables) – use of PowerPoint recommended (Please note the Media Center provides lessons on and help with PowerPoint. Therefore, teachers do not have to teach the basics of PowerPoint in class)
Levels 3 & 4: making concise, audience friendly visuals (graphs and tables not required)
b. Using visuals effectively
i. Level 2: How to use visuals and how to explain graphs and tables
ii. Levels 3 & 4: How to use visuals

The textbooks cover most of these elements and should be used extensively to develop the mechanics and skills of speech making.


Final Presentation
The topic of the final presentation may be one of the topics used in class, one assigned by the teacher, or one chosen by the student (with teacher approval). The presentation will focus on organizing information clearly and effectively. Level 2 students could also include material and information obtained through independent research on their topic and be encouraged to make a persuasive rather than a factual speech. Levels 3 & 4 may limit themselves to informative or persuasive speeches at the discretion of the instructor. This must be an individual presentation.
Instructors should evaluate students based on clearly defined criteria such as eye contact, clarity, use of specific examples/data to support their opinions, effort, enthusiasm for their topics, clear structure, etc.
