Semi-formal presentation report


Presentations Wednesday 26th Dec., 2012, T003, 1420-1700

Content: all students had prepared slides which were relevant & fulfilled their tasks. Farah’s could have been better prepared re. accuracy of text.

Attitude & body language: Asaad & Abdulla  were very good. Ali Ahmed & Farah were both loud & confident; Hamoud was a  little tentative to start with, but grew in confidence & persevered well.

Visual aids/PP slides:  Abdulla’s were colourful, attractive & error-free, as were Hamoud’s. Ali Ahmed’s were similar, for the most part, with only a couple of minor errors. There was too much text on all of Asaad’s slides; to his credit, he didn’t read mechanically from this text; he was fluent & knowledgeable, as befits his position with ADCB, but there was, I feel, too much technical information displayed for the audience to assimilate quickly enough. Farah’s 2nd slide had too much text & wasn’t displayed long enough for us to comprehend. The text on the other slides had not been properly checked & corrected prior to presentation; there were, therefore, spelling/grammatical errors on every slide which had text, e.g. ‘our brake in Riyadh’ & the final slide ‘thank you for listing’.

Fielding questions: all students coped adequately. Asaad was particularly fluent in his responses.

Language/communicative competence: Asaad  excellent; Abdulla & Farah very good; Ali Ahmed & Hamoud good.
