and confidently comes in handy. And strong speaking skills can help you make
your case that you deserve a promotion or a raise.

speak in public. Perhaps you will need to congratulate your friend at his
wedding or thank your family members for giving you a going-away party.
Having good public speaking skills is important in such situations.

6. TIPS ON MAKING
ORAL PRESENTATIONS
 Use relevant images and graphics to maintain audience
interest. If you use PowerPoint for your presentations, you
can download free PowerPoint graphics and
backgrounds from the Internet.
 Try to avoid overloading slides with excess of information
and numbers.
 Be cautious while choosing the color of text and background.
It is also advisable to avoid using distractive background
which can divert the focus of your audience.
 Practice is the key to succeed. ‘Practice makes a man perfect’,
therefore it is essential to rehearse the topic well prior to its
presentation.

ORAL PRESENTATIONS (cont.)
 Adequate font size should be used. 24 point for text and
40 point for the headings.

colors has always proven to be of great success. This not
only attracts quick user attention, but also helps in
better retention of your text.
 Add simple and easily understandable figures rather
than using complicated ones.
 Try to maintain a proper sequence of slides so that your
audience can easily grab the matter which is being
discussed.

9. WHAT IS AN AUDIO VISUAL
PRESENTATION?
 Is delivering an address to a public audience
 The act or process of making speeches in public
 “The art of effective oral communication with an
audience.”
 It could be also a short talk on a set topic given
to a tutorial or seminar group.

10. ADVANTAGES
OF AUDIO VISUAL PRESENTATION
 Best Motivators
 They are the best motivators. Students work with more interest and zeal. They
are more attentive.
 Fundamental to Verbal Instructions
 They help to reduce verbalism which is a major weakness of our schools. They
convey the same meaning as words mean. They give clear concepts and thus
help to bring accuracy in learning.
 Clear Images
 Clear images are formed when we see, hear, touch, taste and smell as our
experiences are direct, concrete and more or less permanent. Learning through
the senses becomes the most natural and consequently the easiest.

11. ADVANTAGES
OF AUDIO VISUAL PRESENTATION (CONT.)
 Freedom
 The use of audio-visual aids provide various occasions for the pupil to move
about, talk, laugh and comment upon. Under such an atmosphere the students
work because they want to work and not because the teacher wants them to
work.
 Opportunities to Handle and Manipulate
 The use of audio-visual aids provides immense opportunities to the pupils to
see, handle and manipulate things.
 Variety
 Audio-Visual aids provide variety and provide different tool s in the hands of
the teacher.

12. DISADVANTAGES
OF AUDIO VISUAL PRESENTATION
 Apathy of the Teacher
 It has not yet been possible to convince the teacher that teaching with words
alone is quite tedious, wasteful and ineffective.
 Indifference of Students
 The judicious use of teaching aids arouses interest but when used without a
definite purpose they lose their significance and purpose.
 Ineffectiveness of the Aids
 Because of lack of proper planning and lethargy of teacher as also without
proper preparation, correct presentation, appropriate application and essential
follow up work, the aids have not proved their usefulness. A film like a good
lesson has various steps-preparation, presentation, application and discussion.

13. DISADVANTAGES
OF AUDIO VISUAL PRESENTATION (CONT.)
 Financial Hurdles
 The Boards of audio-visual aids have been set up by central and state
governments for chalking out interesting programs for the popularization of
teaching aids but the lack of finances is not enabling them to do their best.
 Absence of Electricity
 Most of the projectors cannot work without electric current and so the non-
availability of electricity is creating a hurdle in the proper use of audio-visual
aids.
 Lack of Facilities for Training
 More and more training colleges or specialized agencies should be opened to
train teachers and workers in the use of audio-visual aids.

14. DO’s on AUDIO VISUAL
PRESENTATIONS
 Discuss, plan, test, budget and brief.
 Discuss the objective, audience, message and required outcomes with
colleagues before preparing a budget and brief.
 Attention span.
 Most people cannot take in a full 30-minute promo. Consider 10 to 20
minutes as the maximum attention span. Keep key points to the early
part of the presentation as attention falls rapidly after the first 15
minutes.
 Multimedia usage.
 To expose the message to the largest audience consider multimedia
usage such as video, video clips within PowerPoint, web usage,
business TV applications and so on.

15. DONT’s on AUDIO VISUAL
PRESENTATIONS
 Don't let anyone tell you the medium is the message.
 What you say is more important than the way you say it.
 Don't fall in love with the latest technology.
 Using the latest cutting edge delivery technology cannot convey how advanced and
forward thinking you are if most of your audience does not yet have access to such
technology.
 Don't rush into production.
 Take some time to think about the objective, message, audience and media. Only
then can you script, shoot, edit and print.

16. TIPS ON MAKING
AUDIO VISUAL PRESENTATIONS
 Make the Text and Images Legible
 Make sure that people at the back can see the bottom part of the
display - move the sheet up on the projector if necessary.
 Make the Information Understandable
 Don't put too much information on a single sheet. Five main points
per sheet is a resonable maximum (seven at a push).
 Make the Speech Intelligible
 Speak slowly. Keep talking while changing each sheet. Long pauses
can be embarrassing.
 Make Life Easy for Yourself
 Use heavy paper for covering parts of the image which you want to
hide. This prevents the blanking sheet from sliding off the overhead
projector.
