Notes to assist you
- You will be expected to speak your oral, not read it. So, write up your oral and then make cue cards to assist you to learn your main points. Even though you will be presenting over a video call, the judges will be expecting you to speak directly to them as if they are in the room with you.
- Try to use engaging speaking techniques. Pace your oral presentation so that you are not speaking too fast. Give pause to important points and try to use some facial expressions to enhance your points… a smile or well-placed anecdote or humour is often engaging to an audience.
- Your pronunciation and use of language needs to be clear and appropriate. So make sure you practise and edit your work until you get it 'just right.'
- Bring your personality to your oral presentation. Hand gestures, smiles, examples of places are all great ways to communicate, so feel free to use them.
