must not only possess academic expertise, but also the
requisite skills to enhance their learning and
employability prospects in the future.
An individual learns the basics of oral
communication right at home. The school
environment takes this learning a notch higher by
teaching the student how to interact with peers and
teachers alike. The quality of communication in
student life will define professional communication

entitled ―Purposive Communication‖

17. V
The following is
to be considered
to have an
effective speech
and be a good
public speaker:

18. V
Know the profile of your listeners. It is
important that you know who will listen to
you-their age, gender, educational
background, religion, economic status, and
interests. Also, know how much the
audience knows about the topic.

19. V
It is something basic or essential for
every speaker to know who is
organizing the event. Know who will
be introducing you and who will be
speaking before and after you.

20. V
The venue is equally important. Locate the
lights and if you have movable visual aids,
know where to position them. As a speaker,
you should also know how to position yourself
and how you should move in front to get the
attention of the listeners.

21. V
Ask beforehand about the pieces of
equipment available for you. These
facilities should match the
presentation aids that you will use.

22. V
Since you have been invited as a speaker, the
organizers might have sought you because of
your reputation as an effective speaker.

23. PREPARINGAn effective presentation
An effective presentation is
more than just standing up and
giving information. A presenter
must consider how best to
communicate the information to
the audience. Oral presentations
require a good deal of planning.

24. Use these tips to create a presentation
that is both informative and
interesting:

25. 1. Organize your thoughts. Start
with an outline and develop good
transitions between sections.
Emphasize the real world
significance of your research.

26. 2. Have a strong opening. Why
should the audience listen to
you? One good way to get their
attention is to start with a
question, whether or not you

27. 3. Define terms early. If you are using
terms that may be new to the audience,
introduce them early in your
presentation. Once an audience gets lost
in unfamiliar terminology, it is
extremely difficult to get them back on

28. 4. Finish with a bang. Find one or
two sentences that sum up the
importance of your research.
How is the world better off as a
result of what you have done?

29. 5. Design PowerPoint slides to
introduce important information.
Consider doing a presentation without
PowerPoint. Then consider which
points you cannot make without
slides. Create only those slides that are
necessary to improve your

30. 6. Time yourself. Do not wait
until the last minute to time
your presentation. You only
have 15 minutes to speak, so
you want to know, as soon as
possible, if you are close to that

31. 7. Create effective notes for yourself.
Have notes that you can read. Do not
write out your entire talk; use an
outline or other brief reminders of what
you want to say. Make sure the text is
large enough that you can read it from a

32. 8. Practice, practice, practice. The
more you practice your presentation,
the more comfortable you will be in
front of an audience. Practice in front
front of a friend or two and ask for
their feedback. Record yourself and
listen to it critically. Make it better

33. PREsenting effectively
Use these tips to help keep them interested
throughout your presentation:
1. Be excited. You are talking about
something exciting. If you remember to be
excited, your audience will feel it and
automatically become more interested.

34. 2. Speak with confidence. When you are
speaking, you are the authority on your topic,
but do not pretend that you know everything. If
you do not know the answer to a question,
admit it. Consider deferring the question to
your mentor or offer to look into the matter
further.

35. 3. Make eye contact with the audience.
Your purpose is to communicate with your
audience, and people listen more if they feel
you are talking directly to them. As you speak,
let your eyes settle on one person for several
seconds before moving on to somebody else.

36. 4. Avoid reading from the screen. First, if
you are reading from the screen, you are not
making eye contact with your audience.
Second, if you put it on your slide, it is
because you wanted them to read it, not you.

37. 5. Blank the screen when a slide is
unnecessary. A slide that is not related to
what you are speaking about can distract
the audience.

38. 6. Use a pointer only when necessary. If
you are using a laser pointer, remember to
keep it off unless you need to highlight
something on the screen.

39. 7. Explain your equations and graphs. When
you display equations, explain them fully. Point
out all constants and dependent and independent
variables. With graphs, tell how they support your
point.

40. 8. Pause. Pauses bring audible structure to
your presentation. They emphasize
important information, make transitions
obvious, and give the audience time to
catch up between points and to read new
slides.

41. 9. Avoid filler words. Um, like, you know,
and many others. To an audience, these are
indications that you do not know what to
say; you sound uncomfortable, so they start
to feel uncomfortable as well. Speak slowly
enough that you can collect your thoughts
before moving ahead. If you really do not
know what to say, pause silently until you
do.

42. 10. Relax. It is hard to relax when you are
nervous, but your audience will be much
more comfortable if you are too.

43. 11. Breathe. It is fine to be nervous. In
fact, you should be all good presenters are
nervous every time they are in front of an
audience. The most effective way to keep
your nerves in check aside from a lot of
practice before hand is to remember to
breathe deeply throughout your
presentation.

44. 12. Acknowledge the people who
supported your research. Be sure to thank
the people who made your research
possible, including your mentor,
research team, collaborators, and other
sources of funding and support.
