CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
1. Background
In this day and age, many people are lazy to read or write directly in books.
So, critiquing books is one way that can be done to increase interest in
reading. Critical Book Review is an activity to review a book and its related
contents, which aims to make the reader know and understand the contents
or issues that are appropriate in the book. The description of the contents of
the book contains the scope of the problems discussed critically, the way the
author explains and the theory developed.
Thus book reports or book reviews are very useful to find out the contents of
books in addition to knowing the advantages and disadvantages of books that
have been read. Therefore, we expect readers to know and understand the
report or book review so that they can read the book well and not only read
the book but can understand what is in the book in depth. Therefore, we
reviewed the book on the On ELT seminar with a special topic, namely
"How to present paper in the On ELT seminar" to add insight into the On
ELT seminar as well as increase the ability to review books.
2. Purpose
The purpose of writing a critical book review is to fulfill the task of the
"Seminar On ELT" course and is expected to be a useful reference to add
insight for us as writers and readers in knowing the strengths and weaknesses
of a book, especially a book about Seminar On ELT.
3. Benefits
1. Knowing the strengths and weaknesses of the reviewed book
2. Test the quality of the book by critiquing the book to see its strengths
and weaknesses.
3. Provide input to the author of the book in the form of criticism and
suggestions for writing, content and substance of the book
4. Adding insight into the book being reviewed

SUMMARY OF BOOK AND JOURNAL
1. Summary Of Book
How To Present Paper In Seminar On ELT
When we want to present our paper in a seminar, the thing we can do is
make the material in our paper into a PowerPoint slide so that it looks clear
and directs to the point. Therefore in this book there are 18 Eighteen
principles of design for making slides when presenting our paper at the
seminar.
Eighteen Design Principles For Your Slides
There is a wealth of online material about slide design; some material is
good and some is questionable. Here are 18 fundamental principles to
consider:
Common mistakes:
Far too many slides, therefore running out of time; hurrying
through the remaining slides. If too few slides, the material
looks very thin.
2. Slides should not be overcrowded and cluttered with information.
4. Any text should be in the form of brief points, not full sentences.
5. The font size should be large enough for the audience to be able to
read it easily.
6. All your key points must be visible in brief form on your slides,
not just spoken. It is helpful to all members of the audience but is
also essential for two reasons: (1) you can readily get your prompts
by glancing at the screen or monitor; (2) it is helpful for the audi-
ence members who may not be able to readily understand spoken
English.
7. Make sure that at any point in the talk, you reinforce what you
are saying by showing the relevant text and illustrations on the
screen.
15.Make sure you are not speaking lots of critical detail while
showing only general points on the screen. Every slide should be
informative.
18. Show clearly where you are in the scheme of the talk. Suggestions:
a. Use an informative heading for each slide.
b. Use a bar at the bottom or side of each slide that highlights
where you are at any point in the scheme of the talk. This is
invaluable for the audience during a complex talk but pointless if
the bar just shows Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion.
Note: PowerPoint does not have an automatic function for doing
this. You’ll need to make a text box, insert one on each slide, and
manually highlight the specific words depending on the
individual slide.
1. CHOICE OF WORDS
a. Open and close the presentation in a
professional manner. Opening:
Be professional. This doesn’t mean being stiff and stilted; it means all
of the following points:
● When you introduce yourself, show your title slide, and try
to look straight at the audience, even if it scares you (see
Eye Contact, page 245).
● Don’t fluster, mutter or giggle.
● Say: Good morning/afternoon. I am (your name). I’m going
to present my results on…/ talk about (your topic).
● Then move smoothly into the next slide.
Common mistakes:
●
ar too much verbal description of the background and motivation to your study. These de
●
For example:
● Ineffective: just to say
There were three reasons why we modified the test rig in this
way. The first was we found that… etc., meanwhile counting
them off using hand-waving body language, with nothing on
the screen. Remember that many in the audience may not fully
understand what you are saying.
● Instead, prepare a visual aid that lists it in point form, and
expand on each one while you speak. Note: It’s important not
a. Remedy for wobbly voice: Don’t worry about it; it has to be very
bad before it is noticea- ble to the audience. If you don’t believe
this, ask your friends after your talk if they noticed anything. They
probably didn’t.
b. If English is an additional language: The problem of a quiet,
rapid voice is a common one because of either (1) nervousness
about making grammatical mistakes or (2) feeling that you are
fluent enough but forgetting that you may have a strong accent or
slur words together.
c. Slow down, and try to speak deliberately, positively and more loudly.
d. Remember, your audience has come to learn about your research;
it doesn’t matter about grammatical mistakes as long as they can
hear and understand it! It is better to say some- thing
ungrammatical in a strong voice – your audience will understand
and be sympathetic.
e. The way you stand
f. Try to stand and move naturally. Be aware of the audience
members and try not to block someone’s view.
3. YOUR HANDS
Beginners often comment that they suddenly become conscious of
their hands and don’t know what to do with them. You will probably
have a pointing device, which takes care of one hand. Make sure
you don’t make the usual mistakes with the other.
Useful tip: If you find that looking at people’s eyes is difficult, try
looking at the chin/neck region instead. No one will notice that
you’re not looking straight at them unless they are in the very front
of the audience. Don’t scan above the heads of the people in the
back row. This is sometimes given as advice, but you will look
spaced out.
6. USING A POINTER
You will probably have a laser pointer or – more rarely – a pointing
stick. Beginners often don’t like using a laser pointer because
shaking hands will be obvious. If it is the only pointer available,
which is probably the case at a conference, make sure that you don’t
cir- cle it continuously on the screen in an attempt to disguise the
shakes. Just find the item on the screen, and then keep the pointer
firmly in the right place for about only two seconds.
2. Summary Of Journal
4. Question Time
This is the last point, and we think we all knows about this point because
this is the basic thing, QnA sections. For this sections, every audience
have a chance to ask any questions related to our topic. After we got
several questions from the audience, we have to answer it one by one
and we should give the clear answer. But, don’t be afraid to answer “I
don’t know” to some questions that we don’t understand.

CHAPTER III
DISCUSSION
1. Conclusion
After we reviewed the books and journals, we found
some strengths and weaknesses of each book and journal. The
material provided in the book is very complete. But on the other
hand, good explanations from books and journals tend to be
few. We think that even though there are weaknesses, these
books and journals can still be used as references when looking
for material on how to present papers at seminars and others.
2. Suggestion
Our suggestion as a reviewer of this book and journal, we
suggest that the explanation material for each point be added so
that readers can understand it better and The advice we can give
regarding our material is that it is necessary to read many
sources, both books and journals for success in making,
preparing and presenting papers at seminars. As well as many
important things that must be considered especially in
presenting a paper, to minimize errors.
