PRESENTATION
& QUESTIONS - LESSON 2
This PowerPoint contains 10 slides (right click the link and select "Save
Target As...")
Students
can use this PowerPoint interactively on their own computers.
Again sound is used and VBA boxes to be used in View Show.
They can print their work for correction by the teacher when
exercises are completed.
Slides 1-2: Students
must be reminded not to go over 3 minutes during the presentation
and question time. The examiner will stop marking after this
time! If the teacher is carrying out the exam, it is important
that the student knows that they may be interrupted by the
teacher if the student is taking too long due to hesitation
or slow pace.
Slide 3: getting
the pace right is very important and requires practice. Being
too quick can be as damaging as being too slow. The students
must time themselves and get to know what a reasonable pace
is. Students can listen to the three examples on the slide
to get a better idea. They can follow the presentation thanks
to the script provided
Slide 4: from experience,
I have realised that the words on this slide seem to be regularly
mispronounced and therefore the students can practice them
by listening to the words first and then repeating them with
or without recording themselves.
Slides 5-6: the
cue card can be very useful but not essential. If the student
chooses to use a cue card, it is worth spending some time
making a ‘nice’ one. The clearer, the better.
Use as many colours, pictures, photos, drawings as you wish.
The cue card could be laminated in order to preserve it. You
can however only use 5 headings and no conjugated verbs!
Slide 7: the questions are as important as the presentation
and must last approx. the same time as the presentation. Students
can prepare possible questions and answers in advance.
Slide
8-9: I chose this gap filling exercise as it contains 3 tenses
and uses many verbs that can be applied to a variety of topics
and situations. (Revision of the past and the future is addressed
in the following PowerPoint). Also, students may like to reproduce
a similar gap filling exercise for their presentation in order
to help them learn it.
Slide 10: finally,
just a few ideas to help the students learn their presentation.
12 marks can easily be achieved by learning a few lines by
heart! I have found that recording the students’ presentation
on a tape was very successful as they learn it like they may
learn a song on the radio. By playing something over and over
again, they know it without realising it!
