Oral+Presentation


 * Oral Presentation**

An oral presentation involves the formal or informal presentation of material to an audience. Oral presentations can vary greatly both in content and format. To be effective, students must select a suitable topic, organize the presentation in a clear and logical format, and use appropriate language. It is important to engage the audience by maintaining eye contact, using appropriate body language, and communicating ideas with clear diction and good grammar. An appealing opening, colourful anecdotes, and audience participation are other ways of ensuring the effectiveness of the presentation. An oral presentation is a useful way to deliver reports, new material, facts, questions, and suppositions about a topic.
