Course content
The aim of the course is to help students at all levels to better conceptualise what constitutes a good presentation, and to develop their confidence in giving presentations and interacting with an audience in a business context.
The early weeks of the course focus on development of vocabulary related to operations planning and oral activities in small groups. Students learn about key concepts in giving presentations, such as openings and closings, organisation of content, clear articulation, use of visual aids, and audience interaction.
In the second half of the course, teams of students plan, prepare and rehearse a company presentation on the Sales and Operations plan for a particular company. These activities lead to a team presentation in front of an audience.
Learning outcomes
By the end of the course, students are expected to be able to:
• use principles of good presentation structuring for optimal clarity,
• establish and maintain audience rapport in the presentation setting,
• use principles of good slideshow design,
• present a company plan for Sales and Operations in English effectively, using appropriate style and vocabulary,
• use observation of self and others to continue developing and fine-tuning presentation skills.
