Workshop | Present like a Pro in English
Especially today, when you may be presenting your
work online and to an audience which includes listeners located anywhere
in the world, the ability to speak effectively to groups in English can
be essential. This workshop examines tools for presenting your topic
(and yourself) impressively in English and provides opportunities to
practice these tools actively. We’ll address both verbal aspects of
presenting (e.g., starting your talk strongly) and non-verbal ones
(e.g., body language). The overall goal is to explore methods and
principles which you can apply to a wide range of presentation
situations and to increase your confidence when delivering a talk in
English – whether face-to-face or online. The workshop is very
interactive and is held in English by a native speaker.
Topics
- What makes a good presentation good (and a bad one bad)?
- How can you start your talk impressively?
- What are some options for structuring content so as to keep listeners on track?
- How can your voice contribute to your message?
- What is your body language telling listeners?
- What phrases can you use to move from point to point smoothly – and grammatically correctly?
- What sort of questions can you expect from the audience, and how can you deal with them professionally?
