Being concerned about how me as teacher, can help students (targeting in non-native speakers) to do a good oral presentation. I summarized some specific aspects to take into account. Also, I made some advice in how to reenforce certain moments, as starts, ends, or how to introduce a partner.

Start (How do you feel?) • Prepare what you are going to talk about before. Avoid reading as much as you can. • Control your speech volume. As necessary to be listened in a room, not too loud, not too weak. • Don’t feel nervous or uninterested. • If you are going to be in group, at least read about your partner’s section in case you need. • Move properly. Don’t watch the Wall, or facing yourself opposite to the audience. • Avoid to have your hands inside your pockets.
Start • Start with a salute as Good morning, good afternoon, good evening/good night. • If you are going to talk as group, the most simple ways you can start are: “Our group is going to talk about…”, “We want to talk about…”,or “We would like to refer about…”. • If you are going to start alone, then have in mind to say: “I’m going to talk about…”, or “I would like to start with…”
Introduce your partner Some simple examples to introduce a partner: • Well, now my partner “x” will talk about “x” • …and my classmate “x” is going to talk. • Now it’s the turn of “x”
Position in front • Don’t put your hands inside your pockets. • Don’t bite chewing gum when you’re in front the class. • Try to be in a place that should be perceived by everybody. • You can move over the place, but avoid to move fast or being in front a partner of your team. • Avoid to keep too much in hand things (you can sweat and misuse) Prevent using folders or small cards with pieces of information. • Ask people to turn down their phones or have them in silence, and you do the same.
End Some simple expressions to say you have finished your presentation. • That’s it. • That’s all. • Thank you.
Teacher’s intervention. Teacher can ask you or someone in the classroom about a specific thing. These are the most common things: • Talk aloud/ talk louder • Can you repeat that again? • Please, silence. • Time’s up. • Ok, enough.
Beware: • If you are a non-native speaker, learn how to pronounce before say a Word/phrase/ sentence. • Get the main idea of what you are saying if you can’t keep much information. • Use the specific information as a feedback. • Prepare your presentation by listening and repeat as much as you can. • Don’t drink too much water before start a presentation. • Be physically and mentally well-prepared to face a public presentation.
