Module 7-8: Seminar Paper Presentation:

• Group presentation practice.
The following are several things that groups need to prepare when presenting seminar papers:
- Effective coordination, collaboration and communication between group members need to be
prepared when group presentations in seminar paper presentations.
- Make sure each member makes a meaningful contribution during the presentation.
Understanding the material is the basis for effective communication during presentations.
- Practice seamlessly incorporating visuals into your presentation and make sure they complement
the spoken content, so that your delivery style looks professional and more engaging.
- Take time to practice together so that everyone feels comfortable with their roles and the content
delivered flows smoothly.
- Arrange all technical aspects (such as audiovisual equipment) for clarity.

• Peer feedback and improvement.

An important component in improving group presentations is feedback and correction from
colleagues. This can be done using several things:
- Using feedback forms, conducting peer evaluations, or simply providing verbal feedback during
practice sessions. This targeted feedback helps group members identify areas that need to be
improved more effectively.
- Encourage group members to experiment with different approaches based on the feedback
received and evaluate the impact of these changes. Monitor areas where the group has shown
progress and areas that still need attention.

• Handling questions and discussions.:

The following important tips can help in handling questions and discussions in group seminar
exercises so that presentations can be successful:
- Show that you are responding by nodding, making eye contact (either in person or via video call).
- Provide verbal cues such as "I understand" or "That's interesting." However, if the conversation
starts to wander, move on to the main point.
- Respect the audience's other points of view even if you don't agree with them. This helps clarify
misunderstandings and keeps the discussion focused.

Module 9: Preparing for an International Seminar:

• Final preparations before the seminar.
Some of the final important preparations that need to be done before the seminar are:
- Focus on practicing presentations, checking technical equipment, reviewing presentation
materials, and preparing special notes to be delivered.
- Ensuring the functionality of technical equipment is critical to the success of seminar
presentations.
- Ensure presentation material accuracy, clarity, and alignment with seminar objectives.
- Specific notes to be delivered serve as a roadmap, guide when presenting and ensure coverage
of all topics and necessary transitions.
- Customizing speaker notes allows the presenter to strike a balance between preparedness and
spontaneity, while serving as a backup reference in case of unexpected interruptions during the
presentation.
- Custom notes can double as a valuable practice tool, allowing the presenter to familiarize
themselves with the flow and pacing of the presentation being conducted.

• Logistics and travel arrangements.

When we are going to attend an international seminar offline, preparing the right logistics and travel
equipment is very important to do. This includes booking flights, accommodation, transportation, and
obtaining the necessary visas or travel documents to ensure a smooth and hassle-free trip.
However, when attending an online seminar, make sure the internet network is available smoothly
and the network quality is good. Also prepare audio equipment well, so that the sound produced is
good during the presentation.

• Maintaining health and well-being.

The most important thing when going on international trips and attending seminars abroad is to
maintain health and well-being by:
- Get enough rest, get the right nutrition, don't get dehydrated, and be able to manage stress.
- Maintain optimal physical and mental well-being, so as to enable you to perform well during
seminars.
