C. Steps of an Introduction
An introduction of a presentation is a crucial part. A good introduction can help develop a
rapport with the audience. The introduction consists of a number of steps, as follows.
1. Getting the Audience’s Attention and Signaling the Start
The first step is to get the audience’s attention and signal the beginning of your presentation.
There are several ways which you may use including using humor, stories, quotations,
rhetorical questions, striking statements, illustrations, or statistics and facts. To signal the start,
here are several expressions that you may consider using. (Storz et al., 2002)

Right. Well. OK.


Let's begin.
Good. Fine. Great. Can we start?
Shall we start? Let's get the ball rolling.
Let's get down to business.

2. Greeting

To greet the audience, you may say one of the following Pronunciation Tips
expressions based on the context of your presentation. (Storz
et al., 2002) Word Stress & Sentence
Stress
https://www.youtube.com/watch
Speaking in a class:
?v=8m7wsCY1DKc
Good morning my fellow classmates and professor.
General:
Hello ladies and gentlemen.
As an invited speaker:
Good afternoon esteemed guests
Addressing members of a committee:
Good evening members of the board/committee
Fellow colleagues Mr. Chairman/Chairwoman
When you have been introduced before your talk:
Thank you for your kind introduction

5
3. Self-Introduction
Self-introduction is another important step to establish a rapport
with the audience. You need to establish your authority on the
subject and allow the audience to see your point of view on the
subject (you are a student, researcher, responsible for, director of,
neophyte, layman).
According to Storz et al. (2002:6), there are several things that you
need to say when introducing yourself including your name,
company’s name, company logo, title and date of the presentation www.quora.com
on all the transparencies or handouts.
The following are several expressions that you may use to
introduce yourself during the beginning of a presentation. (Storz et
al., 2002)

• Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce myself.


• Good morning everyone, I'd like to start by introducing myself. My name is...
• I am a student at Walailak University.
• I am an undergraduate student in the department of …..
• I am a researcher from … I've been working on the subject now for X
years...
• I've had wide experience in the field of ...
• Good morning, my name is Sasitorn Namoungon. I am a student at
Walailak University and I am going to talk to you today about some of
my findings in a study I did on…
http://letterexample.site

4. Subject Introduction
What exactly are you going to speak about? Situate the subject in time and place, in relation to the
audience and/or its importance. There are several expressions that may assist you to introduce the
subject to your audience, as follows. (Storz et al., 2002)

6
Have you ever heard of...?
You may already know…
I feel sure that some of you…
Every day you encounter...
To get the audience's attention and perhaps to gauge
their interest in the topic you could introduce the
subject by saying:

Have you ever heard of/seen X?


You've probably seen countless times...
You may have wondered...
http://www.thepinsta.com

5. Stating objectives
Informing the audience of the objectives of your presentation is another significant step. To do
so, you may use the following expressions. (Storz et al., 2002)
What I would like to do today is to explain
to illustrate...
to give you the essential background information on...
to outline...
to have a look at...
What I want my listeners to get out of my speech is...
www.gleeclub.fr
If there is one thing I'd like to get across to you today it is that…

6. Announcing the Outline.


To make your presentation clear, you need to outline the topics that you will deliver. Usually having
2 or 3 main points is enough, yet it does not mean that you may not have more. The following are
expressions you may use to announce your outline. (Storz et al., 2002)

7
I have broken my speech down/up into X parts.
I have divided my presentation (up) into Y parts.
In the first part I will give a few basic definitions.
In the next section I will explain
In part three, I am going to show...
In the last part I would like/want to give a practical example...
http://nomadity.be/

7. Questions and comments


Interacting with the audience is another key to a successful presentation. However, you should
clearly state when and whether the audience is able to give comments or ask questions at some
point in your introduction. The following are expressions you may use. (Storz et al., 2002)
I would ask you to save your questions for the end.
There will be plenty of time at the end of my presentation for a
discussion.
You may interrupt me at any moment to ask questions or make
comments.
Please stop me if you don't understand anything I say but could
you keep any specific questions until after I've finished.

http://nomadity.be/

8. Make a transition between the introduction and the


body.
A transition leads to a smooth presentation. A transition connects one step to another step of
your presentation. It may connect the introduction to the body and the body to the conclusion.
You should refer to your transparency or outline. Here are some expressions you may use.
(Storz et al., 2002)
Now let us turn to point one.
Let us now move on to the second part, which is, as I said
earlier….

"When you know better you do


better." -- Maya Angelou

How to Give A Successful Presentation

UNIT 2
Objective: In this unit you will learn how to
BODY OF A deliver the content of a presentation effectively.

PRESENTATION

www.speakeasy.team

Ask yourself the following questions before class starts.

1. What is the body of a presentation? …………………………………


2. What do you need to present? ……………………………………….
3. How do you present the body? ………………………………………
4. What is the best way to organize the body of your presentation?
………………………………………………………………………..

14
A. Warm up

1. Watch and learn

Watch the video and answer the following questions.

https://www.yo
utube.com/wat
ch?v=V8eLdb
KXGzk

1. Did the presenter introduce himself and the topic in the first presentation?
2. Why do you think the audience is not paying attention?
3. What comments or constructive feedback did the audience give to the presenter?
4. What do you think of using personal experiences in presentations?
5. Do you think the second presentation is better than the first one? Why?

B. Effective Content

Work in groups of 3 or 4. Read and summarize the following text in your own words.
Present your summary to the class. You may add your point of view on effective content.

15
Five Elements of Effective Content

1. Content.

Your content includes all information you want to give in your speech. The information
has to relate strongly to your objectives. In most cases, less is more. Therefore, you
may want to carefully sort and limit the information you want to present.

2. Quantity

The quantity of your content needs to be enough to clearly elaborate your ideas. As
long as it meets the objective, you are fine. Also, remember to utilize illustrations or
provide clear examples.

3. Sequencing your ideas.

There are several ways to sequence your ideas. Here are a number of options for
organizing the information: logical; chronological order; from general to specific; from
known to unknown; from accepted to controversial; cause/effect; problem/solution.

4. Keeping the audience's attention

The first and last parts of a presentation are what an audience will remember best. You
need to be creative and keep your listeners’ attention throughout your presentation.

5. Signposting or signaling where you are.

To help the audience keep track of your presentation, you need to occasionally signal
where you are in the presentation. You may want to point out what you have just finished
and what you will present next.

“It is redundant in text but very useful in oral presentations. Experienced presenters will
also clearly pause, change their stance and the pitch of their voice as they move from one
part of a presentation to another.”

C. Steps in Closing a Presentation
Pronunciation Tips
1. Signaling the end of the talk
The end of a talk should never come as a surprise to an Introduction to Intonation
audience; it needs special consideration. You need to help the https://www.youtube.com/watch
audience to know that it is the end by using several signals. You ?v=tzh3Owutf5Y

may use the following expressions. (Storz et al., 2002)


And on that point, I will bring my presentation to a close.
If no one else has any questions I will leave it there.
Let’s leave it there/ stop there.
That brings me to the end of my presentation.
That is the end of my presentation.
That’s about it.

2. Making a Summary
It is crucial to restate the main points of your presentation at the end.
Nonetheless, you need to point them out clearly and briefly. The
following are expressions that you may use. (Storz et al., 2002)
I'd like to summarize/sum up
At this stage I would like to run through/over the main points...
So, as we have seen today....
I hope I have convinced you that…
I’ve talked about three main areas.
If there is one thing, I’d like you to take away from today’s
www.lms.org
presentation, it is…
To restate my main point, …
To sum up… / To summarize…

3. Giving Recommendations (Optional)


At particular times, you may want to give several recommendations to your audience. In that
case, you may use the following expressions. (Storz et al., 2002)

As a result, we suggest that…


In the light of what we have seen today I suggest that...
My first proposal is...

32
3. Giving Further Information (Optional)
At particular times, you may want to give further information to your audience. In that case, you
may use the following expressions. (Storz et al., 2002)
Here is a link for access to today’s PowerPoint slides.
Here is a list of possible further reading on the topic.
You can read more about it via the links on this last slide.
There is a list of original sources on the last page.

4. Making an Invitation for Questions and Handling Them


Your audience may have some issues or concerns they need to address. Therefore, it is vital to
invite the audience to ask questions or merely give their opinions. When handling the questions,
you need to talk to the audience, not just the person who asks. Also, you need to be respectful and
answer briefly and directly. Moreover, you need to use your answers to reinforce your main
points. When you have no idea what to answer, do not be afraid to say you do not know. During
making an invitation for questions, you may use the following expressions. (Storz et al., 2002)

We’ll now move on to the Q&A stage.


And now, if anyone has any questions, I’d be happy to answer them.
I will now answer any questions you may have.
I’d now be interested to hear your views on what I have said.
I’d now like to invite questions and discussion.
I’ll be around all day if you’d like to chat about this more.
I’m sure you have plenty of questions, so please fire away.
If anyone still has any questions, I’ll be happy to answer them individually.
If you have any further questions, please come up and talk to me (individually/
afterwards).
Please email me at this address.

5. Stating a Conclusion
A good presentation must have a strong conclusion. Your conclusion must be short, but
memorable. Think about some proverbs. (Storz et al., 2002)
I think all this proves that…
In conclusion,…
It is quite difficult to draw conclusions, but…
The conclusion I would draw from that would be…
What conclusions can we draw from all the information we have seen today? Well,… In
conclusion I would like to say that...
My final comments concern...
I would like to finish by reminding everyone that...

6. Thanking at the End
You may want to thank your audience before fully closing your presentation. To do so, you may
use these expressions. (Storz et al., 2002)
Thank you for listening.
Thank you for your kind attention.
Thank you very much for your attention.
Thanks again for…
Thanks for your time.
I really appreciate having had this opportunity to share my ideas with you.

D. Effective Visuals
5 Tips on Creating Effective Visual Presentations Like a Pro

Read the following passage and make 4 questions. After that, swap your book with a friend and
answer each other’s questions.

1. Use a single, powerful image per slide


Refrain from placing too many images on one slide. Similar to text, having too many images on one
slide will just look cluttered to your audience. Focus on one great image that is relevant to the item
being discussed and add a word or phrase to emphasize your point. Avoid copying pictures off the
internet and instead, get high resolution images from a good resource. Compfight.com contains
thousands of free high-quality photos for almost any topic.
2. Choose the right font and size
Typography is also visual. Contrary to popular belief, Helvetica is not a standard font for
presentations. Neither is Times New Roman. There are several other creative fonts available that will
give your slides a polished look like they were made by a professional designer. FontSquirrel.com
offers a wide array of free fonts you can use. Try to experiment and combine fonts. Avoid being too
frivolous though, and make sure that you limit your font styles to just 2 to 3 per slide. There is no
standard font size, but a safe size would be 40. Remember to consider the size of the room you will
be presenting in. Your content should be read by the farthest person from the screen.
3. Pick the appropriate color combination
It is important to create a theme for your presentation, and have all the slides consistent to this theme.
Unlike the old presentations, you do not have to follow a standard background for your slides. Instead,
think of a particular theme and make sure that all the slides fit into that theme. If in doubt with your
artistic skills, COLOURlovers.com can help you pick the right colors and theme for your
presentation.
4. Present numbers with pictures
Incorporating images in your graphs not only makes them more aesthetically pleasing to the eye but
doing so makes your audience more receptive to the data being presented. Conversely, writing
numbers and percentages on images has the same effect.

34
5. Movement
While images make data more digestible, dynamic visuals make data even more interesting for your
audience, helping them to understand the data better and retain the information. One great example
of how statistical data was creatively presented was Dr. Hans Rosling’s presentation on world
development.
By focusing on the message rather than the literature, you can create presentations that will attract
your audience’s attention and consequently enable them to remember the points you discussed.
Always remember to use visuals that will help you get your message across. A successful presentation
is not only defined by how well the speaker discussed the topic, but also by how much the audience
understood and remembers all the points raised.

Work in groups of five. Make rows in front of the white board. Each group is given a board
marker. The lecturer will say one random word and the groups must write as many sentences as
possible with the word added with modal verbs of deduction or speculation. The group with the
most correct sentences wins.
