Making an Oral Presentation
When making an oral presentation in class, you must know
your subject well and convince your audience that they
have something to gain from listening to you. Here are
some things you can do to make an effective oral
presentation.
Be
prepared.
Research your subject to ensure that you are
knowledgeable. Practice your presentation until you feel
comfortable. Make sure you can present your information
within whatever time limits you will have. Anticipate
questions you may be asked and prepare answers to these.
Know
your audience.
Tailor your presentation to your audience’s level of
knowledge about the subject of your presentation, what
they need to know, and their interests.
Be
positive.
Make it clear that you are knowledgeable and
enthusiastic about your subject.
Don’t
read your presentation.
Talk to your audience. Use your notes as prompts as
needed.
Provide
examples.
Try to make your presentation as concrete and “down to
earth” as possible. Add appropriate anecdotes and humor
to drive home a point.
Use
visual aids.
Supplement what you say with visual aids such as
handouts, charts, transparencies, and slides. Make sure
that everyone can easily see the visual aids. Don’t use
visual aids that are so complex that the audience will
spend its time trying to read them instead of listening
to you. Visual aids are supplements to what you say, not
replacements for what you say.
Maintain eye contact.
Shift
your eye contact around the room so that everyone feels
that you are talking to them.
Actively involve your audience.
People can only listen so long without their attention
wandering. Making your presentation interesting will
help you to capture and keep your audience’s attention
for a while, but you must do more. Build in some simple
and quick activities for your audience so that they are
actively involved in your presentation. Ask questions
that you are confident your audience will be able to
answer.
Use
your voice effectively.
Vary
the tone of your voice and be careful not to talk too
quickly.
End on
a high note.
Leave your audience feeling upbeat about what they have
just heard.
