Group 8:30 March, 26 +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Tomáš Krajíček | |--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |AUDIBILITY - volume well suited to room, clear | | | |PACE – fairly smooth | | | |INTONATION - varied range | | | |PRONUNCIATION - occasional lapses: “medival“ era - /,medi‘ ivəl/, before “krist“ - | |/kraist/, | | | |LANGUAGE USE AND ACCURACY – explicatory, easy to follow (vocab not extended though), | |repetition of linking words: “for example” | | | |- erroneous grammar: “In the past they know”, “no one loses nothing”, ”mathematics | |expression” ”in general speaking” X “in general”, verb-noun agreement:“rates was too high”, | |“economy adjust to it”, “money are cheaper”: the presenter corrects himself (which is | |positive) | | | |slide: misprint “dilema”X dilemma | | | |- rather informal register (e.g. instead of using “I think” repetitively, we may use “I | |reckon/assume”, etc.) – however, the register is optional – depending on the audience you | |address | | | |FORM/ DEVELOPMENT – interaction (appeals to audience, get the listeners involved), | |cartoons/jokes used, no cue cards nor reading from the slides (good awareness about the | |topic, presenting information off the top of presenter´s head), lively presentation | |delivery, absence of linking phrases | | | |USE OF EXAMPLE ILLUSTRATIONS - stimulating, helpful, clear, using the board | | | |EYE CONTACT - looked at most of audience much of the time (= incentive which remains the | |focus of the audience's attention) | | | |FURTHER FEATURES: confidence, enthusiasm, involvement, introducing oneself: omitted, | |off-hand responses to audience´s questions | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Lucie Musilová | | | |Elena Dvoráková | |--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |AUDIBILITY - (E.D.) - speaking too low (difficult to hear even from the front rows) -tip: | |When you giving an oral presentation, you want to do more than just make yourself heard. You| |want to create a leadership presence by filling up the whole room with your voice. Raising | |the volume of your voice will help you achieve this. | | | |PACE – (E.D.) – well suited, (L.M.) - too fast (rushing through the presentation – as if | |the end is what we seek…) | | | |INTONATION – lack of intonation/monotonous. (L.M.): more dynamic/lively, failing to put | |emphasis on key info. | | | |LANGUAGE USE AND ACCURACY – grammar: (E.D.) “Euro has been using in el.form“, “began | |appreciate“X began TO appreciate, | | | |FORM/ DEVELOPMENT – turn-taking not verbalized (E.D. no linking phrases-handing over to | |L.M.), (L.M.): first couple of sentences read verbatim from the slides, information overload| |through slides/ displaying too much detail (leads to confusions, audience may get stuck | |reading and failing to listen to additional information provided orally), | | | |(L.M.): good usage of linking phrases, too much drilling/listing items, switching to Czech | |when technical problems arise (what if your audience cannot speak any Czech?) | | | |USE OF GESTURES: (E.D.) showing her back to part of the audience apparently due to | |continuous reading from the graphs (slides), which impairs interaction+eye contact (E.D.´s | |presentation stuck solely to graph interpretation/reading, which is a pity) – no input of | |yours | | | |(L.M.): hands in pockets (not appropriate for a formal presentation) | | | |both: no smile L | | | |EYE CONTACT – both: reading from the slides excessively – no input of yours, which distracts| |attention (audience may get bored) | | | |VISUALS: good use but perhaps too many figures/graphs included | | | |FURTHER FEATURES - lack of persuasiveness+confidence, (ED – nervosity?), lacking passion | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Lucie Vašková | | | |Gabriela Sofková | |--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |AUDIBILITY - (L.V.): volume well adjusted, (G.S.) – raising your voice slightly would be | |welcomed | | | |PACE – (G.S.) - rushing through the presentation a little | | | |INTONATION – lack of intonation/modulation | | | |LANGUAGE USE AND ACCURACY – grammar: (L.V.):“pay interests“, wrong word: “you could mention | |that…” X argue that… | | | |(G.S.) – “it´s repeat” | | | |Both: vocab. could slightly be more extensive; clear delivery | | | |PRONUNCIATION: (L.V.):debtor: /debtor/ X /detə/, factor /faktor/ X /faektə/, | |(G.S.) – arrange /aranž/ | | | | FORM/ DEVELOPMENT – turn-taking not sufficient (L.V.): idle for long minutes, presentation | |well structured, clear outline in the opening, (G.S.) – speaks for too long | | | |(G.S.) - information overload, using slide notes frequently (more often than independent | |speech) = results in the risk of getting lost while reading | | | |USE OF GESTURES: both: slightly nervous - playing with a ring (lack of confidence impairs | |the overall impression, to avoid this – frequent rehearsals could be of some help) | | | |EYE CONTACT – (L.V.): maintained but could be improved, | | | |FURTHER FEATURES - illustrative, explicative | | | |(L.V.): “One old saying says: …“– worth putting this down on a slide – attracts attention, | |originality: (G.S.) – use of a simile “blood-body/cash flow/company” | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
