As a student, you may participate in speaking activities such as presentations, interviews and roleplays. This video will focus on presentations.  \nYour university units may include many different types of presentations. Some examples are:  \n• talks  \n• debates  \n• business pitches  \n• design critiques  \n• three-minute thesis presentations, and  \n• academic poster presentations.  \nThis video will give you a brief introduction to presentations.  \nSo, why do you think presentations are so common at university? What value do they add to your education? One aim of university study is to become a skillful and employable graduate. In 2015, 638 employers from around Australia were surveyed about what they look for when employing graduates.  \nPause here and read this list. What do you think was the most popular choice?  \nLet’s take a look at the results of the survey on this table. As you can see, interpersonal and communication skills were clearly the attribute most employers value. So, for this reason, your courses use tasks like group work and presentations to help you become a skilled and confident communicator.  \nNow, good quality presentations take careful preparation. When you start to prepare your presentation, read the instructions carefully. Presentations take many different forms. So, you need to check whether your presentation is:  \n• individual or group  \n• online or face-to-face  \n• recorded or live.  \nYou also need to check  \n• how long the presentation should be  \n• whether it includes question time at the end  \n• who the audience is going to be – for example, is it a straight academic talk for your peers or are you being asked to imagine your presentation is for someone else... a group of stakeholders, perhaps?  \n• And finally, you need to check the exact topic of the presentation. What content do you need to include?  \nYou can do this by identifying task words, topic words and focus words in the instructions. If you need to revise this, you can learn more in the Essays page – Preparing for the essay.  \nTurning now to organisation...  \nOnce you have done your research and you are confident about your content, you need to consider the structure of your presentation.  \nLike your written assignments, your presentations are going to have a three-part structure. You will have an introduction, body and conclusion. In a nutshell, you are going to:  \n• Tell the audience what you are going to tell them.  \n• Tell them.  \n• Tell them what you told them.  \nOkay, it’s not really that simple, so let's look at this in more detail.  \nFirst, we’ll look at introductions. When you deliver your introduction, you may:  \n• greet the audience and introduce yourself  \n• introduce the topic  \n• give the aim  \n• give an outline of your presentation  \nYou might also include things like:  \n• your scope, or specific points on which you will focus in a broad topic  \n• when the audience can ask questions  \n• a hook to engage the audience  \nWhat is a hook? A hook is something you use to catch the audience’s attention. You may show an intriguing visual, offer an interesting fact, or mention a perplexing problem. It should be brief, and it should make people want to hear more. Ultimately, by the end of your introduction, your audience should be attentive, know exactly what your talk is going to cover, and be keen to hear what you have to say.  \nLet's consider the body of your presentation. Just as your written assignments use paragraphs that present ideas in a logical order, so should your presentation be divided into logical sections. You need to signal very carefully to your audience when you are moving from one idea to the next and where you are in your talk. You can do this in two ways:  \nFirst, you could design your slides to display the topic and sub-topics you are covering.
