Improve Presentation Skills by Arick UNIROW

Lots of us as an English learner surely will need to be able to make a great presentation. it is not really hard and not that easy either. many students fail to present a good presentation because the lack of skill and never learn about the technique on how to improve the presentation skill.

to be able deliver the good presentation, there are several things we need to understand. here are my opinion based on my own experiences.

1.join a group. this is really good way as you will doing some presentation and your friends will give their opinion. it is the easy and effective way as you can learn from your friends presentations. learn on how they perform it and you will be able to know what are their mistake and why did they able to make a great presentation. use it at your own advantages. Don't be surprised on how bad or great you are. this is way you need join a group. to learn from others while enhancing your skills. take the good things and leave the bad things alone. this is what my teacher told me. ^_^

2.Make a group. Don't get confused by the first and the second. the first said you have to join a group and the second says you have to make your own group and you will be the leader of the group. why? here are the reasons. first, it is assumed that you have learn the basic skills from the other by joining a group and now it is the time to make a presentation in front of your own friends and ask their opinion. it will increase your confident because you already knew how to make a great presentation from the other members by joining group. Second, you will be able to know how great your skills comparing to your friends. It means you will be able to indentify how great you are in your class or your OWN community. you might be the worst in the group you have joined but i believe you could be the best in a group you have created. simply because you have a skill and others don't have it. remember to make a group based on your community and not based your class. a community based territory is great because the presentation can be performed many times. you wouldn't make a presentation if your home far away with your classmate, so choose to make a group based territory

3. make sure to do lots of practice. You have to practice everyday and every time. don't get me wrong. you could talk to the others and when they ask you a question, you can consider it is the times for you to make a presentation. if you explain it well, they will understand and your presentation skill will be improved. remember, the basic skill of the presentation is to explain and perform an action to make others understand on what we talking about. use proper manners and the skill to make a good presentation like as, make a clear statements and never show if you are panic or make explain the object by using an example.

4.make sure you could make a mistake. you are a human and thus will be able to make a mistake. You can think yourself as the best people in the class even the reality your skills is bad enough. don't worry, it happen to everyone. (happen to me lots of time). this is why you need a tools to know your limit and skills. you have to use a video recorder . a camera phones is enough. it used to analyze your skills and to supply you with the informations on how to improve your skills. this is necessary after you think yourself as the best person in class. ^_^

5.You have need to master the object of the presentations. if you want to make a presentation on how to STOP SMOKING, you have to know why we need not to smoke. are there any other way to replace it? any dangerous in it? do you have references? do you have a theory? can you prove your theory? and others. the main important thing is. don't talk to much if you don't know anything. the presentation is considered success if you can explain and the others understand. we have a limitation and thus we may couldn't explain the question. just make sure we explain if WE DON'T KNOW but explain with a manners that make the one who ask the question satisfied with your answer. how could they satisfied if I can't answer their question? this is the hard things to do and most people who make a presentation failed to understand this. many people will try to answer and debate it with the asker. it is useless as you were not fully understand about the question asked. just make sure to said you are not fully master it but keep saying your point. the asker maybe disappointed but if you explained it with the correct formulas, the asker will satisfied with you. this is hard and need lots of train. remember to increase your wisdom. ^_^

6.Speak with yourself. Hey, DON'T TRY THIS AT SCHOOL or many of your friends will think you have an error in your mind. ^_^. try this at home only. by speaking to yourself, you can be the position of the one who make a presentation and also the asker. by the way, speak with other could also help. read above.

7.Remember to always stay calm. no need to hurry. use less speak with full of density words. avoid confusing asker with the others while the question is not fully answered. stay calm and never show your fear. avoid making lots of movement while answering a question. make a good intonations and try to catch the heart of the askers with voices or other movement. when we catch their attention and they think we are interesting, we can move on the presentation with a great result.
