Методические рекомендации
Для формирования и оценки навыка презентации на английском языке
Обучение навыкам презентации занимает особое место в преподавании иностранных языков, т.к. это тот комплекс навыков, который с успехом может быть использован не только в отдалённом будущем в профессиональной деятельности, но и непосредственно в процессе обучения в университете. Это могут быть занятия по учебным дисциплинам, выступления на научно-практических и международных студенческих конференциях.
Изучение данного аспекта позволяет студентам:
Ø овладеть техникой проведения эффективной презентации на английском языке;
Ø повысить коммуникативную компетентность и улучшить презентационные навыки;
Ø научиться способам эффективного представления информации и приёмам успешного взаимодействия с аудиторией.
Ø повысить уровень языковых компетенций.
Предлагаемые ключевые моменты подготовки студентов к проведению презентации на английском языке могут быть использованы как часть конспекта занятий.
Most of us think of communication as just speaking or writing. However, that is only one part of the actual process. In fact, over half of an oral message is actually communicated visually.
Hence, we can say that it is not so much what you say as how you say it.
Box 1
The process of delivering an effective talk is comprised of two parts: preparation and presentation. Both are equally important.
Step 1. Planning
Careful planning of a presentation will make you more confident and help you to overcome your nervousness.
There are five elements to consider when preparing a talk.
Objective
Ø To inform
Ø To persuade
Ø To train
Ø To entertain the audience, etc.
Audience
Ø Who is your audience?
Ø How many people will be attending?
Ø What do they need to know?
Ø What do they expect?
Contents
Ø Brainstorm your ideas
Ø Decide what is the most relevant and appropriate to deliver
Ø Be selective, don’t present too much in your message

Structure
Most audiences appreciate the structure which is easy to follow. It consists simply of three parts: an introduction, a middle section (the body) and a conclusion.
But in modern approach a more up-to-date structure is adopted.
Box 2
Class procedure
a. These words are randomly written on the board:
Examples Recap Bang! Bang! Bridge Message Opening
b. The students are asked what they think the words mean in the context. Then they are asked to work in pairs or threes to put the different parts of the presentation into a possible order. The most exciting thing for students to think where to put the two Bang! s, where Recap, etc.
However, one likely answer is:
Bang! Opening Message Bridge Examples Recap Bang!
This makes an easy- to- remember mnemonic using the first letters of the words:
Bomber B
Giving this mnemonic to the students will help them when they are planning their presentations in the future.

Besides:
Ø Humour in good taste and relevant is welcome
Ø Passive verbs and abstract concepts, as well as jargon, are better avoided
Ø One is recommended to give the audience clear signals to show the direction your presentation is taking*
* В данном случае имеется ввиду такое понятие, как signposting, т.е.фразы, дающие слушателям представление о том, как развивается повествование. (даны в приложениях)
Ø Visual aids are used only as a support or illustration of what you are delivering and to add emphasis to a talk, but they must be simple to understand (materials, hand-outs, OHP, laptop, pointer, Power Point etc.)
Rehearsal
This is to:
Ø Identify any weak points or gaps
Ø To make sure you can pronounce any figures and proper names correctly and confidently
Ø To fine-tune the timing
Step 2. Presentation
If you wish to make an effective presentation, take care of five elements.
Nervousness
Ø Prepare your talk well
Ø Do not fall into the trap of speaking too quickly
Ø In fact, speak slower during the first few moments of a talk (it really works to overcome nervousness)
Rapport
Rapport is the relationship between your audience.
Ø Be friendly and make eye contact, don’t look over the tops of everyone’s heads
Ø It’s critical that you are able to observe the reactions to your message and make any adjustments to your talk

Body language
Remember that 57 % of the message (Box 1) is communicated by what the audience can see.
Ø Avoid any distracting mannerisms like pacing, rocking back and forth on your feet, etc.
Ø Use open-handed natural gestures – as open-handedness conveys security
Vocal quality
The sound of your voice carries 36% (Box 1) of the message. It means you should consider the volume, tone, tember and tempo of your presentation. An interesting public speaker or presenter will vary the volume, the tempo, the tember and the tone of the talk to make himself heard. It’s critical to work on delivery techniques such as intonation, stress and pausing.
Question time
Do not be afraid of questions from the audience. It is civilized practice to solicit them.
Ø Listen to the speaker carefully, perhaps nodding in approval and paraphrasing the question for clarification
Ø Answer the questions shortly and simply
Ø If you do not know the answer it is better to say so

Подготовительный этап в создании презентации играет крайне важную роль. Он должен включать аудирование и просмотр видео наиболее ярких выступлений учёных, лекторов и т.д. Здесь весьма полезным представляется сайт http://academicearth.org/, один из популярных аудитивных ресурсов, поскольку студенты могут имитировать профессионально отработанную речь выступающего, заимствовать у него удачные приёмы речи.
Лучший способ освоения навыков проведения презентации - это предоставить студентам практическую возможность выступления в группе.
Не менее важно организовать обратную связь, провести анализ индивидуальных презентационных особенностей выступающего и их коррекцию, т.к. полученные результаты потом можно с успехом использовать для дальнейшего профессионального и личностного развития.
Для более активного восприятия выступлений и презентаций студентам предлагается опорная шкала Presentation evaluation *(Box 3), по которой можно детально и осмысленно оценить сильные и слабые стороны презентации и выставить свою оценку, а также предлагается шкала для самооценки (Box 4).

Рекомендуется также использовать видеозапись выступления, что даёт возможность в ходе обсуждения вернуться к наиболее значимым моментам прослушанной презентации.
Предлагаемый алгоритм подготовки и организации презентации предлагается вводить на занятиях для студентов с уровнем знаний от Intermediate до Upper-Intermediate.
