THE END OR CONCLUSION

•Talking too fast causes the words andsyllables to be short, while talking slowly

lengthens them. Varying the pacehelps to maintain the audience's interest.

People not only listen to you, they also watch youSpeak to the audience

•Speak clearly and loudly enough forall to hear. Do not speak in a monotone voice. Use inflection to emphasize your main points.

•Circulate around the room as you speak. This movement creates a physical closeness to the audience.

BODY LANGUAGEThe golden rule is "Be natural and relax!"What is body language?Eye contact, facial expressions, posture, movements,gestures.Why is it useful?It is a natural part of communication:•to clarify meaning; it is very visual• to vent nervousness• to maintain interest• to emphasize and regulate

posture – stand straight but relaxed (do not slouch or lean)

Pronunciation (proper names, cognates, numbers)and presentation are important, practice beforehand! This is equally important for the key words of your presentation. It is particularly annoying for the audience to hear the same word mispronounced repeatedly

•The voice is important:•to indicate importance, meaning• to create atmosphere and to avoid sounding monotonous and putting the audience to sleep!
