APLE2 Oral Presentations






Your assignment for the APLE2 class is a 10 minute oral presentation on any topic you choose. Make sure you choose a topic you know well and you think may be of interest to the class.
It is important that you use some visual aids to enhance your presentation.
Your presentation will be assessed not only by your teacher, but by your classmates as well.

Dates:

Fri 23rd: Rocío, Alberto, Antonio, Julia
Tues 27th: Andrea G, Enrique, Juan, Sara
Fri 30th: Silvia, Andrea P, Raúl, Sergio 
Tues 4th: Ignacio, Ángela, Lis 
Tues 11th: Raúl G, Rubén
 
Tips about giving presentations:
   
  • Explain the structure of your presentation at the beginning so that your listeners know what to expect.
  •  Use clear, simple language. Do not use too many technical words. If you do, write them on the board.
  • Make sure you understand everything you are saying and can pronounce all the words.
  • Use your own words and  DO NOT learn by heart.
  • Do not read from your notes.
  • Speak clearly and make sure everyone can understand you.
  • Use interesting material to illustrate your presentation, but do not overload your audience.
  • Be aware of your body language. Look audience in the eye. Stand up straight.
  • Breathe! (It helps you relax)

These are some of the points your teacher will be looking at:
  • Use of English: grammar / vocabulary
  • Pronunciation
  • Clarity and fluency
  • Use of visual aids
  • Is it well prepared and rehearsed?
  • Is it interesting?
