This is a mini-course to be held between 8 and 30 November, 2012 dealing with the art of oral presentation of research findings for conferences, seminars or “laboratory groups”. Although much of what is covered applies equally to presentation in Chinese or English, my emphasis, obviously, will be on the latter.
The course will start with a session covering the general “do and do not” aspects of oral presentation, including addressing any questions you might have. You will each be asked to produce a 10 minute presentation, being given two weeks or so to do so. At that point you will hand in a disc or memory stick (to be returned to you during the course) containing any “visual” which you will use to support your oral presentation. This material will be loaded onto the computer for projection, and a few days later you will in turn (and in a randomly selected order) each give your oral presentation. The presentations, which will be videoed, will take one day, and then a few days after this there will be feedback sessions for two days related to your presentations, where again any questions you might have will also be dealt with.
Unfortunately, I can manage only 30 participants for this mini-course and so selection may be necessary. Please register your wish to participate in the course by contacting Miss Vera Shi by email at vera_shiwei@xmu.edu.cn before 28 October, providing the following information: Name and email address, Masters or Doctorate student, Year 1, 2, 3, etc. If selection is necessary, you will be notified of the result as soon as possible.
