    TIPS FOR ORAL PRESENTATIONS


    By TP Teachers

    Printer-friendly version prepared by Ana Otto. Text put together by michelle taking some useful hints from
    the textbook Inside Out, Level V, by Ceri Jones and Tania Bastow (Heinemann)

    MONOLOGUES are a great way to practise new vocabulary in a lesson. Try to prepare a monologue on each
    topic you find interesting and RECORD yourself so as to listen to your mistakes afterwards. Remember you
    DO need the practice of speaking and listening to your own voice in order to improve in a significant way!

    GIVING A PRESENTATION/PREPARING A MONOLOGUE


    - Give your listeners a brief outline of your presentation at the beginning so they know what your main
    points will be.
    - Make brief notes on each section. Have the notes for each section on separate cards in front of you.
    Don’t try and read your presentation- use the notes to remind you about the main points only.
    - Don’t rush. Pause to think and gather your thoughts if you need to.
    - Let your listeners know when you’re moving on to a new point.
    - Explain what you will be allowing time for questions at the end (either at the end of each point, or at
    the end of the whole presentation) so that you don’t have to deal with interruptions.
    - Use the “playing for time” phrases from the toolbox if someone asks you a difficult question.
