Week 7

POWER POINT PRESENTATIONS AND SPEAKING

 

During the present week I learned the importance of making good power point presentations because the teacher gave us some suggestions for improving it and to make them look better for they to look professional. As the teacher told us, we do not have to add so many words, only keywords that are going to help us as a guide to the viewers get the main idea because we will only use a few words and not lots of words that will be monotone and will make look the presentation boring.

    Also, it is important to add some pictures in our power point presentations because that represents something that will really help us to show our students in order to they get the idea in a better way, pictures are more likely to get the attention of the viewers, so it will really make our presentations attract viewers attention because our pictures will ilustrate an idea better than only words that will turn our presentations as not enjoyable.

   I learned all this thanks to the teacher example to make us notice our mistakes and to correct them on time to be better in our next presentations. Therefore, I think all the advice will be useful and applicable from now on to put it on practice in our presentation with our students to present them a topic in a better form to they understand us getting the main points  easier.

The next video has some tips to make look our PPTs better:

I also learned about the importance of teaching speaking because I read about the topic in the book the teacher provided us, as communication is the main point of learning and teaching a language, I learned some advice from that book that will really be useful in the future with my students through putting on practice the activities I checked in that book.

this video is a crear example of "discussion" that is an activity that is used to encourage students because they will improver thier speaking when they talk and share their ideas and opinions in a discussion activity:

   On this video we can notice one of the other suggested activities which is "Role-play" that is used effectively with students to make they play characters in an imaginary but real situation that is likely to happen, I think this this activity  is very useful because it activates their speaking and improves it giving good results:
