The last weeks we were really busy, as we had to hand in several assignments in all our subjects.
We also had to conduct our graded presentation for English for I.B., which counts for 25% of our total grade.
In the case scenario for the presentation Rick (rick-languagelearning.blogspot.com) and I pretended to be consultants that made recommendations for "Erstaunliche Autos", a German car manufacturer, which had troubles doing their business.
Therefore, we prepared several recommendations helping "EA", surviving their corporate-crisis and becoming competitive again.
To give you guys an idea how our presentation was looking like and what our improvement were, following the slides
As the presentation wasn't our first one we tried to implement all our existing knowledge about: how to prepare an interesting and professional presentation.
Done this, we earned a lot of positive feedback and an sufficient grade (7,7)
Finally, I can say: there is still a lot to improve.
Assessing the feedback of my Lecturer and my class mates I found points of improvement.
Following my main findings:
1. Speaking slower - I need to slow down, so that my audience is not distracted by my fast talk
2. Interrupting my Partner - As we presented I interrupted my colleague several times, which I shouldn't do as it hinders the flow of information and is some kind of impolide
3. Correct pronunciation and spelling - I made some mistakes that I could have avoided by being more concentrated
Lastly, I can conclude that this presentation showed me that I made another step forward my English improvement. As I said in my LLH, I want to gain better presentation skills, which I think could gain preparing presentations over and over again. This doesn't mean I am perfect now, this basically mean that I did steps in the right direction.
Feel free to comment my progress!
regards,
Lennard
