Oral Presentation

• An oral presentation is more than just reading a paper or set of slides to an


audience. How you deliver your presentation is at least as important in
effectively communicating your message as what you say. Use these guidelines
to learn simple tools that help you prepare and present an effective
presentation.
• DEFINITION
oral presentation can be defined as formal information describe/explain by
someone to the group of people. It is carried out by using the audio and visual
presentation material such as slide, handouts etc.
Preparing an Effective Presentation
• An effective presentation is more than just standing up and giving
information. A presenter must consider how best to communicate the
information to the audience. Use these steps to create a presentation that is
both informative and interesting:
• Organize your thoughts
Start with an outline and develop good transitions between sections.
Emphasize the real-world significance of your topic.
Have a strong opening
Why should the audience listen to you? One good way to get their attention is to start with a
question, whether or not you expect an answer
Define terms early
If you are using terms that may be new to the audience, introduce them early in your
presentation. Once an audience gets lost in unfamiliar terminology, it is extremely difficult to
get them back on track.

Finish with a bang.


Find one or two sentences that sum up the importance of your research. How is the world better
off as a result of what you have done?
Time yourself.
Do not wait until the last minute to time your presentation. You only have 15 minutes to speak, so
you want to know, as soon as possible, if you are close to that limit.
Be excited.
You are talking about something exciting. If you remember to be excited, your audience
will feel it and automatically become more interested.
Speak with confidence.
hen you are speaking, you are the authority on your topic, but do not pretend that you know
everything. If you do not know the answer to a question, admit it. Consider deferring the
question to your mentor or offer to look into the matter further.

Make eye contact with the audience.


our purpose is to communicate with your audience, and people listen more if they feel you are
talking directly to them. As you speak, let your eyes settle on one person for several seconds
before moving on to somebody else. You do not have to make eye contact with everybody, but
make sure you connect with all areas of the audience equally.
Avoid reading from the screen.
First, if you are reading from the screen, you are not making eye contact with your audience.
Second, if you put it on your slide, it is because you wanted them to read it, not you.

Summary
When you start your presentation, the audience will be interested in what you say.
An effective presentation is more than just standing up and giving information.
A presenter must consider how best to communicate the information to the audience.
These are the elements which can make your presentation effective.
