An oral report also has the same three basic parts as a written report.
The introduction should "hook" your audience. Catch their interest with a question, a dramatic tale or
a personal experience that relates to your topic. The body is the main part of your report, and will use
most of your time. The conclusion is the time to summarize and get across your most important point.
What do you want the audience to remember? It's important to really know your subject and be well
organized. If you know your material well, you will be confident and able to answer questions. If your
report is well organized, the audience will find it informative and easy to follow. Think about your
audience. If you were listening to a report on your subject, what would you want to know? Too much
information can seem overwhelming, and too little can be confusing. Organize your outline around
your key points, and focus on getting them across.
Importance of oral report are: Save time and energy, to assess/evaluate experienced, knowledge,
skill etc. of a learner, also learner can request opinions, suggestions from the audience for effective
feedback from facilitators, and a better relationship between learner and facilitator to improvement for
future oral report.
