Book Description
As you present in the classroom, at department meetings, conferences, or workshops, do you ever wonder if the audience really cares what you're saying? If they truly "get" your topic or message? If your slides are clear? If you're doing it right?These are fair questions. In the end, what you really want is for students, colleagues, and peers to be moved. To be like, WOW, I've never thought about it that way! No matter if you're lecturing about postmodernism, persuading your department to start a new program, or presenting your latest research. What you need is a system to help you communicate persuasively. And one that takes your slides to the next level. "PRESENTING. The Professor's Guide to Powerful Communication" is that system. It focuses you on the most important part: the audience experience. In other words, what is the audience thinking about as they listen to you? What are they doing? Where might they be confused, bored, or disengaged? In this book, you will learn:-The best way to present (hint: think of the way documentaries do it)-How to create a focused one-sentence message takeaway audiences won't forget -A simple 3-step presentation structure that engages them every step of the way-The "user experience" way to design slides that makes it easier to process-How to redesign your "bad" slide-And much moreWritten by the author of "Teaching College: The Ultimate Guide to Lecturing, Presenting, and Engaging Audiences," this concise book helps educators turn their topic into a transformative learning experience through a step-by-step process.

Academic Presenting and Presentations

Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 81
Book Description
This Teacher’s Book is the companion to Academic Presenting and Presentations (ISBN 978-3-7347-8367-8), a training course designed to help students cultivate academic presentation skills and deal with the various presentation tasks they may be required to fulfil during the course of their university studies. The material is suitable for a global audience and can be used in a wide range of contexts in the fields of Communication Skills, English Language Teaching and English for Academic Purposes. In addition to providing valuable notes on each unit, the Teacher’s Book contains key information on the underlying principles, concept and structure of the course and sets out the rationale behind its design. Teachers, and through them their students, can benefit from the depth of the insights presented here, making the classroom experience a rewarding and enjoyable one. Academic presentations can be particularly challenging for non-native English speakers and consequently, the print material and the accompanying video recordings dovetail neatly to provide linguistic support and guidance as well as enhancing presentation skills and providing a forum for practice, feedback and ongoing improvement. However, broader topics of interest appropriate to a study-oriented context, such as research and plagiarism, are also dealt with in a unique balance of content that goes beyond the treatment of discrete language points and emphasises high-level task achievement whilst at the same time focusing attention on the specific requirements of addressing an audience in an academic environment.
