250 Presentations The importance of preparation. What equipment to use. How to \"deliver\" apresentation. The language of presentations, the presentation itself. A review of what wehave covered. Take a test and ask questions. ภาพท่ี 8.2 ภาพตวั อย่าง Business Presentations ทีม่ า Vecteezy, (2010) http://www.vecteezy.com/Business/3241-Business-Presentation 1. IntroductionAll presentations have a common objective. People give presentations because they wantto communicate in order to “Inform”, “Train”, “Persuade” and “Sell”.A successful presentation is one of the most effective ways of communicating yourmessage. And because English is so widely used in international business, a workingknowledge of the vocabulary and techniques used in an English language presentation isa valuable asset.

251 2. Preparation The presentation should be well prepared.With good preparation and planning you will be totally confident and lessnervous. And your audience will feel your confidence. Your audience, too, will beconfident. They will be confident in you. And this will give you control. Control ofyour audience and of your presentation. With control, you will be 'in charge' andyour audience will listen positively to your message. - ObjectiveBefore you start to prepare a presentation, you should ask yourself: \"Why am Imaking this presentation?\" Do you need to inform, to persuade, to train or to sell?Your objective should be clear in your mind. If it is not clear in your mind, itcannot possibly be clear to your audience. - Audience\"Who am I making this presentation to?\" Sometimes this will be obvious, but notalways. You should try to inform yourself. How many people? Who are they?Business people? Professional people? Political people? Experts or non-experts?Will it be a small, intimate group of 4 colleagues or a large gathering of 400competitors? How much do they know already and what will they expect fromyou?

252 - Venue\"Where am I making this presentation?\" In a small hotel meeting-room or a largeconference hall? What facilities and equipment are available? What are the seatingarrangements? - Time and length\"When am I making this presentation and how long will it be?\" Will it be 5 minutes or 1hour? Just before lunch, when your audience will be hungry, or just after lunch, whenyour audience will be sleepy? - MethodHow should I make this presentation?\" What approach should you use? Formal orinformal? Lots of visual aids or only a few? Will you include some anecdotes and humourfor variety? - Content\"What should I say?\" Now you must decide exactly what you want to say. First, youshould brainstorm your ideas. You will no doubt discover many ideas that you want toinclude in your presentation. But you must be selective. You should include onlyinformation that is relevant to your audience and your objective. You should exclude allother ideas. You also need to create a title for your presentation (if you have not alreadybeen given a title). The title will help you to focus on the subject.

253 And you will prepare your visual aids, if you have decided to use them. Butremember, in general, less is better than more (a little is better than a lot). Youcan always give additional information during the questions after thepresentation.- StructureA well organised presentation with a clear structure is easier for the audience tofollow. It is therefore more effective. You should organise the points you wish tomake in a logical order. Most presentations are organised in three parts, followedby questions:ตารางที่ 8.1 การแสดง Structure ของการ PresentationBeginning Short introduction  welcome your audience  introduce your subject  explain the structure of your presentation  explain rules for questionsMiddle Body of presentation  present the subject itselfEnd Short conclusion  summarise your presentation  thank your audience  invite questions Questions and Answers ทม่ี า English Club, (n.d.)

254 - Notes When you give your presentation, you should be - or appear to be - as spontaneous as possible. You should not read your presentation! You should be so familiar with your subject and with the information that you want to deliver that you do not need to read a text. Reading a text is boring! Reading a text will make your audience go to sleep! So if you don't have a text to read, how can you remember to say everything you need to say? With notes. You can create your own system of notes. Some people make notes on small, A6 cards. Some people write down just the title of each section of their talk. Some people write down keywords to remind them. The notes will give you confidence, but because you will have prepared your presentation fully, you may not even need them! - RehearsalRehearsal is a vital part of preparation. You should leave time to practise yourpresentation two or three times. This will have the following benefits:  you will become more familiar with what you want to say  you will identify weaknesses in your presentation  you will be able to practise difficult pronunciations  you will be able to check the time that your presentation takes and make any necessary modificationsSo prepare, prepare, prepare! Prepare everything: words, visual aids, timing,equipment. Rehearse your presentation several times and time it. Is it the right length?Are you completely familiar with all your illustrations? Are they in the right order? Do youknow who the audience is? How many people? How will you answer difficult questions?Do you know the room? Are you confident about the equipment? When you haveanswered all these questions, you will be a confident, enthusiastic presenter ready tocommunicate the subject of your presentation to an eager audience.

3. Equipments 255 Easily your most important piece of equipment is...YOU! Make sure you're in full working order, and check your personal presentation carefully - if you don't, your audience will! The overhead projector (OHP) displays overhead transparencies (OHTs or OHPTs). It has several advantages over the 35mm slide projector:  it can be used in daylight  the user can face the audience  the user can write or draw directly on the transparency while in use The whiteboard (more rarely blackboard or greenboard) is a useful device for spontaneous writing - as in brainstorming, for example. For prepared material, the OHP might be more suitable. The duster is used for cleaning the whiteboard. It is essential that the duster be clean to start with. You may consider carrying your own duster just in case. Markers are used for writing on the whiteboard (delible - you can remove the ink) or flipchart (indelible - you cannot remove the ink). They are usually available in blue, red, black and green. Again, it's a good idea to carry a spare set of markers in case you are given some used ones which do not write well.

256 The flipchart consists of several leaves of paper that you 'flip' or turn over. Some people prefer the flipchart to the whiteboard, but its use is limited to smaller presentations. The Slide projector - which must be used in a darkened room - adds a certain drama. Some slide projectors can be synchronised with audio for audio-visual (AV) presentations. These projectors are typically used for larger presentations. The majority take 35mm slides or transparencies (as seen here), but projectors for 6x6cm slides are also available. Transparencies are projected by an overhead projector or a slide projector onto a screen - in this case a folding screen which can be packed up and transported. The notebook computer is increasingly being used to display graphics during presentations. It is often used in conjunction with an overhead projector, which actually projects the image from the computer screen onto the wall screen. Handouts are any documents or samples that you 'hand out' or distribute to your audience. Note that it is not usually a good idea to distribute handouts before your presentation. The audience will read the handouts instead of listening to you.ภาพที่ 8.3 แสดงภาพและคาอธิบายของอุปกรณ์หลักท่ีอาจจะใช้ในการ Present ที่มา English Club, (n.d.)

257 4. Delivery 'Delivery' refers to the way in which you actually deliver or perform or give your presentation. Delivery is a vital aspect of all presentations. Delivery is at least as important as content, especially in a multi-cultural context. - Nerves Most speakers are a little nervous at the beginning of a presentation. So it is normal if you are nervous. The answer is to pay special attention to the beginning of your presentation. First impressions count. This is the time when you establish a rapport with your audience. During this time, try to speak slowly and calmly. You should perhaps learn your introduction by heart. After a few moments, you will relax and gain confidence. - Audience Rapport You need to build a warm and friendly relationship with your audience. Enthusiasm is contagious. If you are enthusiastic your audience will be enthusiastic too. And be careful to establish eye contact with each member of your audience. Each person should feel that you are speaking directly to him or her. This means that you must look at each person in turn - in as natural a way as possible. This will also give you the opportunity to detect signs of boredom, disinterest or even disagreement, allowing you to modify your presentation as appropriate. - Body Language What you do not say is at least as important as what you do say. Your body isspeaking to your audience even before you open your mouth. Your clothes, yourwalk, your glasses, your haircut, your expression - it is from these that your

258audience forms its first impression as you enter the room. Generally speaking, it isbetter to stand rather than sit when making a presentation. Be aware of and avoidany repetitive and irritating gestures. Be aware, too, that the movement of yourbody is one of your methods of control. When you move to or from the whiteboard,for example, you can move fast or slowly, raising or reducing the dynamism withinthe audience. You can stand very still while talking or you can stroll from side toside. What effect do you think these two different approaches would have on anaudience? - Cultural ConsiderationsBecause English is so widely used around the world, it is quite possible that manymembers of your audience will not be native English-speakers. In other words,they will not have an Anglo-Saxon culture. Even within the Anglo-Saxon world,there are many differences in culture. If we hypothetically imagine a Germanworking for an Israeli company making a presentation in English to a Japaneseaudience in Korea, we can see that there are even more possibilities for culturalmisunderstanding. You should try to learn about any particular cultural mattersthat may affect your audience. This is one reason why preparation for yourpresentation is so important. Cultural differences can also be seen in bodylanguage, which we have just discussed. To a Latin from Southern France or Italy,a presenter who uses his hands and arms when speaking may seem dynamic andfriendly. To an Englishman, the same presenter may seem unsure of his wordsand lacking in self-confidence. - Voice qualityIt is, of course, important that your audience be able to hear you clearlythroughout your presentation. Remember that if you turn away from your audience,for example towards the whiteboard, you need to speak a little more loudly. In

259 general, you should try to vary your voice. Your voice will then be more interesting for your audience. You can vary your voice in at least three ways:  speed: you can speak at normal speed, you can speak faster,you can speak more slowly - and you can stop completely! You can pause. This is avery good technique for gaining your audience's attention.  intonation: you can change the pitch of your voice. You canspeak in a high tone. You can speak in a low tone.  volume: you can speak at normal volume, you can speak loudly and you can speak quietly. Lowering your voice and speaking quietly can again attract your audience's interest. The important point is not to speak in the same, flat, monotonous voice throughout your presentation - this is the voice that hypnotists use to put their patients' into trance! - Visual aidsOf all the information that enters our brains, the vast majority of it enters through theeyes. 80% of what your audience learn during your presentation is learned visually(what they see) and only 20% is learned aurally (what they hear). The significance ofthis is obvious: visual aids are an extremely effective means of communication non-native English speakers need not worry so much about spoken English - they can rely more heavily on visual aidsIt is well worth spending time in the creation of good visual aids. But it is equallyimportant not to overload your audience's brains. Keep the information on eachvisual aid to a minimum - and give your audience time to look at and absorb thisinformation. Remember, your audience have never seen these visual aids before.

260They need time to study and to understand them. Without understanding there is nocommunication.Apart from photographs and drawings, some of the most useful visual aids arecharts and graphs, like the 3-dimensional ones shown here: Pie charts are circular in shape (like a pie). ภาพที่ 8.4 แสดงภาพตวั อย่าง Pie Chart. ท่มี า Buy Efficient (2011) http://buyefficient.com/company-information/about-buyefficient

262 - Audience ReactionRemain calm and polite if you receive difficult or even hostile questions during yourpresentation. If you receive particularly awkward questions, you might suggest that thequestioners ask their questions after your presentation. (English Club, n.d.) 5. Language Just saying “What are you going to say” - Simplicity and Clarity If you want your audience to understand your message, your language must be simple and clear. Use short words and short sentences. Do not use jargon, unless you are certain that your audience understands it. In general, talk about concrete facts rather than abstract ideas. Use active verbs instead of passive verbs. Active verbs are much easier to understand. They are much more powerful. Consider these two sentences, which say the same thing: 1. Toyota sold two million cars last year. 2. Two million cars were sold by Toyota last year. Which is easier to understand? Which is more immediate? Which is more powerful? #1 is active and #2 is passive. - Signposting

263During your introduction, you should tell your audience what the structure of yourpresentation will be. You might say something like this:\"I'll start by describing the current position in Europe. Then I'll move on to someof the achievements we've made in Asia. After that I'll consider the opportunitieswe see for further expansion in Africa.

Presentation Most presentations are divided into 3 main parts - Introduction - Body - Conclusion + QuestionsAs a general rule in communication, repetition is valuable. In presentations, there is agolden rule about repetition:

267- Say what you are going to say,- say it,- then say what you have just said.In other words, use the three parts of your presentation to reinforce your message.In the introduction, you tell your audience what your message is going to be. In thebody, you tell your audience your real message. In the conclusion, you summarizewhat your message was.We will now consider each of these parts in more detail. Introduction The introduction is a very important - perhaps the most important - part ofyour presentation. This is the first impression that your audience have of you. Youshould concentrate on getting your introduction right. You should use theintroduction to: 1. welcome your audience 2. introduce your subject 3. outline the structure of your presentation 4. give instructions about questions

269 Body The body is the 'real' presentation. If the introduction was well preparedand delivered, you will now be 'in control'. You will be relaxed and confident.The body should be well structured, divided up logically, with plenty ofcarefully spaced visuals.Remember these key points while delivering the body of your presentation: do not hurry be enthusiastic give time on visuals maintain eye contact modulate your voice look friendly keep to your structure use your notes signpost throughout remain polite when dealing with difficult questions ConclusionUse the conclusion to:1.

271 Questions Questions are a good opportunity for you to interact with your audience.It may be helpful for you to try to predict what questions will be asked so that youcan prepare your response in advance. You may wish to accept questions at anytime during your presentation, or to keep a time for questions after yourpresentation. Normally, it's your decision, and you should make it clear during theintroduction. Be polite with all questioners, even if they ask difficult questions.They are showing interest in what you have to say and they deserve attention.Sometimes you can reformulate a question. Or answer the question with anotherquestion. Or even ask for comment from the rest of the audience. English Club,(n.d.) There are many people who hesitate to speak in front of a group of people.This fear is mostly due to the fact that the person thinks that if he or she whilespeaking in front of many people might make a mistake and then the people willmake fun of them. This fear to fail while presenting something in front of othersdoesn’t let a person give any professional presentation. You can come over all these things by preparing the best for a presentation.You should try your level best to be successful in preparing for your bestpresentation. Here I am giving you few tips following which you would be able togive the best possible presentation.  Build your self-confidence If you have this thing in your mind that you are don’t have confidence to speak or deliver presentation in meeting or in front of a group of people, then by making a little effort you can overcome this problem. In order to gain confidence, you should do two things:1. You should deliver your speech louder in a room and you have to imagine that ahuge audience is listening to what you are saying.

2722. Second thing that you should do is stand out in front of a mirror and do the practice foryour speech or presentation that you have to deliver.  Go on the place of presentation and practice your presentation If you don’t want to make any mistakes and want to be perfect in your presentation then you should go on that place or room where you are going to deliver your speech or presentation. Just Imagine that all the audience are there in front of you and paying full attention to you. You should also do practice your presentation or speech in microphone.  You should meet the audience In order to gain more confidence and making yourself comfortable with the environment you should try to move ahead toward the audience. You should think that some people are coming towards the door and so you should go ahead to welcome them. By following this tip you will gain the confidence of public dealing moreover you will feel yourself that meeting persons are not stranger to you.  Learn to remember the Basic Points You should remember all necessary basic points and then you should explain them one by one. Not only keep those points in your mind but you should also keep them with you in written form so that during presentation you may get help if you forget anything important.  . Keep eye contact. While giving presentation you don’t just have to speak your words but it is equally important for you to create an eye contact with the audience. You don’t just have to concentrate on your points and screen.  Pay some extra time If you have not made your points clear in the limited time then you should take some more time and complete your explanation of words. You should also keep some extra time in your schedule for the questions.

273  Audience completely pays attention to you The presenter should remember that that audience is completely paying attention to you and they are here to gain something. So while talking about something important while you are delivering your presentation you should not be diverted from the main subject. While speaking about the main points of the meeting just concentrate on what you have to say.  Take some energy while delivering your presentation You should try to discuss the main points in the beginning of the presentation and then talk about the details. When you get exhausted and feel anxiety then you should take some time for the relaxation. During that time there are different ways with which audience should be entertained. You can entertain them through chit chat, questioning, humor or refreshment.  Experience is your best teacher A person who delivers a presentation for the first time feels hesitation and nervousness but as the time passes he becomes experienced. He gets control over his hesitation and then he is fully trained to face the audience. (Asian job portal, how to prepare for a professional presentation, 2010),Negotiation One of the most important skills anyone can hold in daily life is theability to negotiate. In general terms, a negotiation is a resolution of conflict.We enter negotiations in order to start or continue a relationship and resolvean issue. Even before we accept our first jobs, or begin our careers, we alllearn how to negotiate.

274For one person it begins with the negotiation of an allowance with a parent. For anotherit involves negotiating a television schedule with a sibling.Some people are naturally stronger negotiators, and are capable of getting their needsmet more easily than others. Without the ability to negotiate, people break offrelationships, quit jobs, or deliberately avoid conflict and uncomfortable situations.In the world of business, negotiating skills are used for a variety of reasons, such as tonegotiate a salary or a promotion, to secure a sale, or to form a new partnership. Hereare a few examples of different types of negotiations in the business world: Manager and Clerk: Negotiating a promotion Employer and Potential Employee: Negotiating job benefits Business Partner A and B: Making decisions about investments Company A and Company B: Negotiating a merger Customer and Client: Making a Sale The Art of Negotiating Negotiating is often referred to as an \"art\". While some people may be naturally more skillful as negotiators, everyone can learn to negotiate. And, as they often say in business, everything is negotiable. Some techniques and skills that aid people in the negotiating process include: Aiming high Visualizing the end results
