In her speech, Sumithirai Penerant, who is a student wanting to achieve NVQ in business administration, talks about time management. Her main aim is to give some tips about how to organize time efficiently. Overall, this is not an effective presentation which does not have a proper introduction and conclusion part. In my report, I will analyze Penerant’s speech in depth in terms of organization and content, delivery and visual aids. Firstly, in the introduction part, the presenter greets the audiences, introduces herself and the topic she will be covering. However, she does not provide an overview of her speech and does not use any attention getting techniques. Without using any signposts or transitional phrases, she switches to the …show more content…
Moreover, her eye contact usually focuses on the middle part of the class, which leads other audiences to think that the presenter does not care about themselves. On the other hand, she uses appropriate facial expressions, maintains good posture and moves purposefully. In this way, the speech does not become monotonous and the audiences follow her with ease and without the need for further explanation. Her somewhat effective physical delivery is accompanied by a successful vocal delivery. The presenter speaks at an appropriate pace and uses pausing before switching to a new idea as a strategy to give audiences a chance to think about it. She also has a loud and clear tone of voice, uses correct intonation and does not fall into hesitations frequently. These factors contribute to the effectiveness of the presentation and make it less bothersome from the perspective of audiences. In sum, the presenter’s delivery counteracts the deficiencies of the organization and content, but not totally. Finally, although the presenter’s visual aids are relevant to the topic, of a reasonable number, visible and simple; they are not very effective. They contain a lot of information in the sentence form rather than single words, which leads audiences to read them instead of listening to the presenter and makes the presentation less interesting. She also reads directly from the slides and meanwhile she turns her back to the audiences. This is a kind of repetition of

After reading Brigham's article ''Talking to talk'', I would like to share with you what I understand. Brigham presented in the article how to make a good presentation and his purpose in writing this paper was to stimulate critical thinking about the mechanics of giving talks for different audiences. He classified his proposals into 3 categories: Purpose and Organization; Mechanics; and Slides. Brigham's stated that the main goal for any presenter is leaving the audience with a clear understanding of the presenter main massage. It is very important for any oral presentation is to respect and understand the audience. Moreover, he emphasized that the content is more important than the decoration. The presenter should deliver
The presentation of Kathleen Pena on How to Change a Disposable Diaper was actually pretty interesting. She included her thesis in her introduction which also had a great hook, in which she made a connection with the audience. The body paragraphs gave good explanation on the procedures on how to change a diaper, and on the tips. Which was explained clearly so that the audience could understand. Her conclusion ended with another connection with the audience, her whole speech had enough visual aids showing the procedures on changing a diaper. Overall she did a good job, but one thing that I noticed that she moved a

When I first evaluated myself in the study skill academic test, time management was my weakest skill overall. This was priority in terms of skill development because I would always leave things till the last minute and stress myself out trying to turn in things on time. In order to improve this I made a smart goal to carry out in the beginning of the year. Now after some time, the results of my progression are shown. My smart goal that I created for myself regarding my time management planned out very well, I was able to successfully accomplish a majority of my assignments on time. I would review the material of the week on Monday’s and compile all of the assignments due for the week. The monthly calendar was also a key factor in helping me keep up to date in the month so see what where upcoming tasks the following week. If I needed more clarification on certain tasks then I would login and check the syllabus.
I am one of those who suffer from butterflies, that uncomfortable feeling in my chest and stomach, before speaking in public. This is not only a problem for myself, but it is also a common fear and a concern for many people. My purpose is to denounce a few dynamics I feel have helped me to become a more effective speaker and to manage my butterflies. I will prove to you that strong body language makes ideas and feelings more clear, vigorous and engaging. First, I will show how eye contact unconsciously engages the audience. Second, I will prove that vocal emphasis is the key to a vigorous speech. Third, I will confirm that gestures reinforce the ideas of the speech, making the speech
I write this clear and concise reflection to identify and evaluate an academic problem that I feel is negatively impacting my studies which is time management; otherwise, I find lot of difficulty to manage my time.
Do you think you cannot give hundred percent when you are presenting something? If you have this kind of thinking, have you ever tried to make it better? Sometimes I really think that we always want to give the best while presenting my speech or talk. So I just wonder on how I can improve my present? I believe that not all of you can stand in front and talk with the high level of confidence. Speech is the one of the type of oral communication. What is oral communication?

Before we can manage our time we must know exactly what time is. The dictionary describes it as, the duration of one's life; the hours and days which a person has at his disposal. How we dispose of that time is time management. It's the way we spend our time to organize and execute around our priorities. Remember just because time is intangible doesn't mean that it is not valuable. I want to teach you about the background of time management, the different styles and how to use them, and how it will change your life.
Our presentation slides focuses more on pictures, charts and key-points for visual aid. By keeping the slides simple, audiences can focus more on the speaker. The videos uploaded by the Centre for English Language Communication department tell us our weaknesses which we do not realize by ourselves.
