Teaching Preparation of Oral Presentations

Chia-Jung Tsui

Abstract

This article reports on a teaching method combining lectures, videos, discussions, self-assessments, simulations, and peer evaluations for teaching industry professionals preparation procedures for oral presentations in the “Oral Presentation” training program. The method avoided routine and monotony and made the students' learning experience more stimulating and interesting. Learning unit notes written by the author provided guidelines in conducting the three-hour class sessions spread out over two weeks. The students learned to use the four-step problem-solving approach suggested by Skopec to prepare oral presentations. In-class simulations offered students opportunities to practice this approach. Remediation checklists were given to aid the students to learn at their own pace.
