Oral Presentation

Online Practice Suggestion: Record a video of oral presentation and post on WhatsApp status or Instagram Story for others to watch and give feedback.

You need to divide the video into several posts due to the time limitation for the applications, for example, for WhatsApp status, you are only allowed 30 seconds for each status update - so you need to divide your video into 30-second sections in order to post your full video.

Oral presentation is an effective communicative activity that has been widely adopted by ESL educators to promote oral proficiency.

Among the many advantages of making oral presentations for ESL learners are:

bridging the gap between language study and language use.
using the four language skills in a naturally integrated way.
helping students to collect, inquire, organize and construct information.
enhancing team work.
helping students become active and autonomous learners.

In addition, with the availability of new technology both at school and home, learners can incorporate video cameras, slide projectors, PowerPoint, VCR/DVD and other visual aids into their presentations which become more exciting and interesting.

Oral Presentation: Admissions

1-minute Show and Tell

Describe a place, a hobby, or an item for at least 1 minute while showing it.

This is a good start to practise speaking skills and to gain confidence in oral presentation.

Select a familiar subject (for example, your village, your cat, etc) or a subject of interest (for example, football, favourite shirt, etc) so it is more comfortable to talk about it.
