  • WEEK 5 1/2 Focus on delivery



    You have now carefully planned your talk and had a chance to practise it once, gotten feedback from your peers, learned from having watched their presentations and even watched yourself present. By now, you probably have some concrete ideas on what you would like to change for the final version. It is a good time to focus more on the actual delivery of the presentation!


    The learning goals for this week are to be chosen by you, depending on your individual needs for learning as to the delivery. You should also revisit the initial learning goals you established during Week 1 and think about whether or not those have changed at all.


    The idea of this week's assignment is that you choose 2-3 of the topic areas suggested below (or feel free to choose your own, as long as they are related to the delivery of your presentation). After you choose the topic areas you would like to find out more about, you then explore the suggested resources and/or look for new ones on the Internet. You might find useful exercises on pronunciation or word stress, for example. 


    The actual assignment (Assignment 10) is to write 2-4 paragraphs about what topics you chose and why, and what sources / exercises you found. In your reflection, you should give an evaluation of those sources, whether or not you found them useful.

    Assignment 10 is an open Forum, so that everyone can benefit from your findings.


    Note the earlier deadline! Week 5 assignments are due by 23.59 on Wednesday, 30 August.


    Remember to sign up for one of the final presentation sessions next week at  Scheduler 2: Final presentations!
