Presentation Skills (e-workshop)

Designed for students with at least a B2 (upper-intermediate) level of English, this short workshop looks at how to structure a presentation more effectively and build confidence in presenting in English. Personalized one-to-one feedback will also be given virtually to any interested participant (not compulsory).

A 5-minute presentation based on student's own chosen topic can be video recorded and sent to the trainer (by 25th May) or the presentation can be done live online for the trainer at an agreed time and date.

Send links to your recordings to sona.vitkova@ruk.cuni.cz till 19 May. Do not send videos as an attachment. You can place videos, for example, on your university's OneDrive (log in to onedrive.com with your account your_id_number@cuni.cz and your CAS password) or to another place (Dropbox, iCloud, etc.) and share them with a link, which you send to the address above. Sending videos is not necessary for participation in the webinar, but only a great advantage - you will get individual feedback from the lecturer!

Participants will:

• Learn how to structure their presentations effectively

• Practise language specific to presentations

• Develop more engaging visuals

• Use their voice and body language effectively

• Learn how to deal with fear and nervousness
