Look directly at your classmates. Looking other places can mean that you are not prepared or did not practice, or are not confident. Look in a partner’s left eye, right eye, face, nose and chin for 4 seconds. Walk to the front of the room, look directly at the class, stand straight and say “Good morning.” LOOKING AT THE AUDIENCE
Smile before you begin talking. Change your facial expressions when you are talking to show the meaning of what you are saying. Don’t wiggle, touch jewelry, play with glasses, touch your hair, hide your hands, or stand frozen. Move naturally as you stand and speak. MOVEMENT
Only use your hands to show: • Size • Enthusiasm for your topic • Symbolic action • Location With a partner: Look happy Squint your eyes Look worried Bite your lip Wrinkle your eyebrows Lick your lips Look interested Look angry Look unhappy Look neutral GESTURES
Concentrate on what the speaker is saying. Don’t look at speakers appearance. Don’t sleep or act bored. Don’t write or talk when others are giving a speech. Don’t leave the room when others are speaking. A GOOD LISTENER
Make your information more interesting and easier to understand and remember. VISUAL AIDS
Don’t turn every sentence into a question. If your voice goes up at the end of a sentence, it sounds like a question and listeners do not think you know what you are talking about. Practice these questions and sentences with a partner. ASKING AND TELLING
We need a better cafeteria! We need a better cafeteria? I’m going to get an “A” in this class! I’m going to get an “A” in this class? I’m a good student! I’m a good student? I worked hard on my speech. I worked hard on my speech? PRACTICE
Don’t apologize Don’t say you are an expert. Don’t say, “I’m going to tell you about…” Don’t use filler words: you know, you know what I mean, like, um, er, uh, ah, well Give your partner a quick talk about dogs. Try not to use the filler words above. SILENCE
Prepare your speech. Practice your speech several times. Give your speech to a friend for practice. Give your speech to your mirror. Don’t rely on notes. Don’t read your speech. Work with your partner and group. The grade is the same for all group members. GETTING READY
