MEETING 7

REVIEW ON PRACTICE 2 (HOW TO DELIVER PRESENTATION)

Opening
Practice 2 has been completed. I say thank you for all hard works. I know there are a lot of difficulties
and problems during this pandemic situation. Believe me, I do so. The ideal system of our campus is
getting in touch with the students by online lectures, but I saw some of you got the problem with
expenses for data and signal. I do solidarity by stepping away the system in order I can reach you
comfortly. Yeach... this is not ideal and perfect way of my speaking class. Let us do our best. In one
hand, you drill yourself on speaking at home and spend your time to practice. A lot. On the other
hand, I try hard to find an idea how to complete my lecture without direct meeting. So, This is me
and this is you doing meeting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. The show must go on. Let us show our best quality as a
student and a lecture.
In this meeting, I will show you my notes during practice 2. I have called it a review. It contains my
comments as you were presenting your article. It functions to give you reflection and suggestion to
what you have been done and what you are going to do. In short, I take a note critics on your
performance of practice2. Learn my notes and fix it. That is my expectation. It will give you better
performance for practice 3. DO NOT MISS THE INFORMATION THAT THE FOLLOWING REVIEW IS
BASED ON YOUR PERFORMANCE IN PRACTICE 2.
I will write my review in three colors to have you noticed parts of presentation. First, the beginning is
in yellow. It contains review on practice 1, how to start presentation. Second, the middle is in green
to discuss practice 2, how to deliver presentation. Third, the ending is in blue to show the next
practice 3 will be, how to end presentation. These colors represent parts of the whole presentation.
Review
How to start presentation consists of 4 elements: greetings, saying thank you, identity, and review.
Those elements might say in order (greetings, saying thank you, identity, and review) or it might
depend on your creativity (greetings, identity, review, saying thank you, and other formations).
Most of you have been delivered 3 elements, but few of you have given all 4 elements successfuly.
Please, see my review. For those who completed 4 elements, I am happy for that. For those who give
me 3 elements, I say sorry. Alright, I should show you a clearer explaination about WHAT REVIEW IS
in the beginning of the presentation followed by HOW THE BODY LANGUAGE SHOULD BE.
Review is the most important part in opening presentation (notes: how to start, how to begin, and
how to open are in the similar meaning). It is introducing the core of the discussion. It may say
review is an attack, or a bang, or a strong start (part two in the video), or an impressive statement,
or a promotion, or a trailer, or a teaser, or whatever it might call. It functions to give a good
impression to the audience and make them think that this presentation will give benefits, or give
them hope something new will happen, or make them sure that they will not waste their time to
come, or to make them engaged with you along the presentation. I myself will think of what’s next
spontanously after hearing review (a good one, of course).
Imagine that I will give presentation on the article I found in English Teaching Journal. The article is
written by Palupi Purnaningrum. The title of her article is “The 100 Best Mottos of Established
Universities around the World: A Critical Discourse Analysis”. I open my presentation, now.
Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen
I had strong willing to study abroad when I was a senior high school student. I often sent emails
to the universities around the world just to have their prospectus. Believe me those prospectus
 amazed me. Oh My God the book (prospectus) is so luxury, I thought. What I found the most
interesting figure was its logo and the motto below. Why some universities have similar sounds
of mottos, some are different? Do they reflect their culture? Well, I would like to give you a
discussion on mottos from the best 100 universities around the world.
Well, I am Lusia Kristiasih Dwi Purnomosasi, a reseacher of UNIPMA. Thank you for giving me
the opportunity and thank you for spending time joining my presentation.

This is the opening containing 4 elements. You can make your own creativity in composing elements
and sentences as well. My review is a little story to make a BANG. It will make the audience sitting
and willing to listen to you “what’s next”, “give me some more..”. You can create a review by
picture, short video, a song, a little story, a well-wrought line, a question, questioning something, a
statement, and many more things.
The more creative the more interesting. Let it challenge you.
That is my explaination of how to start presentation. Make a reflection of what you have done in
practice 2 (see my time table file, too) and make progression soon.
The following is whatever matters about body language. You have to be relax. It means too much
(hands) movements are not good. It seems that you are so nervous. Too much stay stiff is not good,
too, because it will show you are under-pressured and try hard to memorize your script. It is weird.
You are talking in front of the audience, but your eyes and face are far away from the audience.
Keep smiling even one big smile is good to make connection between you, as the presenter, and me,
as the audience. By smiling in your lips, your eyes will see straight to the audience not to other
direction. By your smiling eyes and lips, you ask attention from the audience.
The way you are talking will up and down, slow and fast, stressed and unstressed voice, high and
low. In short, it is intonation. Be natural, because you are explaining. You are NOT in the situation of
reading news in TV, sound like robot. No feeling no soul except finishing mission (practice) in hurry.
If so, you will loose your audience because they get no benefits in your presentation. Getting
beneficial is the very first consideration for the audience to join your presentation.
By the way, the audience will enjoy your attractive presentation if you have good ponunciation. Drill
anytime. This pronunciation is not included in my discussion because I assume that it is a must.
Besides, the content of the article whether it is correct or not is not my speciality. It belongs to
reading class, but I can say that students who spent presentation in minimum 10’ had
comprehended what they have read.
This is the end of how to start presentation.

Before I get you review on practice 2, let me say thank you for your presentation and say
congratulation for those who did it well. Whatever the score is I appreciate your efforts.
The very beginning of practice 2 review is the focus I intended to score, namely how to deliver
presentation. This is the middle part of a presentation. Delivering presentation needs slides. Your
power points will be important supporting a successful presentation. It should contains pointers. The
pointers are clues from which you will go with explaination in verbal. The pointers are like passwords
to go through inside. Some of you made it good, some are beautiful, some are complicated. For
those which were inappropriate, I had given you a second chance to revise. Once more statement
from me: the content of the article in slides is not my speciality. The reason I suggested you to do
revision was to help you make a good presentation. The point I pay attention is speaking.
You have slides and need to explain one be one. To keep moving from one slide/point to the next, it
needs sentences. The sentences are called shifting sentences. The video says signposting language in
part 3. You can see the examples. It functions as the guidance for the audience to follow where you
will go next, what topic you will talk, what has been beforeand next. In my case, your shifting
sentences will guide me which slide I should read.
In spite of guiding audiences by shifting sentences, practice 2 also intended to solve what if the
presenter get stuck, forgetting, making mistakes, getting nerves. There would be sentences to say it
instead of saying sorry.
I found no shifting sentences for most of you. I am not happy. Even, I got nothing to be scored, to say
the truth, but in this emergency situation I still gave you score minimum 70 for your self-drilling
during staying at home season. You can reflect whether your shifting sentences are good, or need
improvement, or none. Be quick to solve the problems.
This is the end of reviewing how to deliver presentation.
The last part is how to end presentation. This would be practice 3. THIS PRACTICE 3 SCORING WILL
BE MID TERM TEST. It will be held along April 20-25. You will also choose your schedule. I will send
you a table. So, I AM GOING TO SCORE ON HOW TO START PRESENTATION, HOW TO DELIVER
PRESENTATION, AND HOW TO END PRESENTATION. All are in one.
The ways to end presentation, after delivering conclusion, are as follows.
1. Recalling the audience with what the problems are
2. Highlighting which is important
3. Stating the benefits (relating to point 1)
4. Saying thank you
5. Never say “it is enough”. It seems you are upset. Never say sorry because of mistakes. No
nothing wrong with the article.
This is the end of how to end presentation.
Closing
Well, the preparation of practice 3 (mid term test) will be heavier. I suggest you to work quick and
do not waste your time. Practice in front of the mirror dan hold stop watch to see how long your
presentation is. It functions to controll you not too short time-taking because it indicates that you
just read not explain. That is all.
Thank you

Practice makes perfect.
