1. Objectives:
At the end of the class, students will (hopefully) be able to:

2. Most important qualities of a good presenter (Teacher)
Must have command over the topic
Must have an intense desire to teach
Must demonstrate to the students that he really cares for them (Passion)
Must have reasonable command over the language

3. Analyze Your Audience
Put yourself in the audience's shoes - try to understand your listener's level of understanding
Anticipate what they want to know. Once you know what your audience wants, you can figure out how to "sell" the benefits of your topic to them.

4. Set Your Goal and Keep It Before You
Four main goals:
To inform
To request for an action
To persuade
To build a relationship

5. Set Your Goal and Keep It Before You
Let your listeners know what you want them to do near the beginning of your talk and again at the end.
Present your basic idea and give them an outline of your presentation that would lead you and your audience to the desired result.

6. Do Your Homework
Research your topic – speak about something you have earned the right to talk about: through experience or study.
Organize the material
Keep it clear and focused
Anticipate questions, and make sure you have the facts to answer them.

7. Do Your Homework
Seize every opportunity to practice – no professional in any field performs without practicing. Remember, your time in front of a group is your showcase.
Discuss your presentation with friends & faculty
Rehearse several times if possible, in front of someone you know is critical

8. Confidence is the Key Believe in yourself : “I can do it”!
That's the main secret of being a good presenter: you have to be confident to show confidence.
Explore all phases of your subject
Careful preparation provides the solid ground you need to support your self-confidence.
Become more qualified than any member of the audience to give this talk

9. Plan the Parts of Your Presentation
List all points you plan to cover.
Group them in sections and put your list of sections in the order that best achieves your objectives.
Begin with the most important topics.
When you put your talk together, keep in mind why your audience would want to hear what you have to say.
Encourage questions

10. Plan Your Format and Delivery
How you give your talk can be more important than what you say.
Whenever possible speak from an outline. If you have a formal written speech to deliver, use a marking system in the text to guide your delivery.

11. Making a Powerful First Impression
The audience will make decisions about you from your first appearance, your words and the sound of your voice.
Plan your opening sentences and practice them in front of a mirror.
Use short sentences.
Keep technical information at a minimum.
Maintain eye contact with all the audience

A dramatic picture
A provocative question
A joke
An interesting fact
A short anecdote
A quotation / positive statement

13. Promise to tell the audience how they can get something they want.
People have very short attention span. To keep your audience with you, you must build in new devices – make your message visual, build anticipation, create a conversation cycle, use role-play practices – to keep your listener's mind 100% occupied.

14. The sound of your voice makes a great difference
Practice projecting enthusiasm.
People aren't going to be influenced by a lifeless & monotonous voice.
To hear yourself speak, record your voice during a phone conversation or practice your presentation using a tape recorder. Then make necessary changes

15. Do More than Lecture
Enhance and support your presentation with visuals, activities, questions
Provide for every type of learner
Provide for everyone with things to see, hear and do
Make them enjoy learning: to make them learn more and retain it longer
Do not exceed the allotted time– don’t be selfish

16. Summarize At the end of the session, summarize Give time for questions
Ask someone to evaluate your presentaion
Evaluate yourself
