Page Text: Hints & Tips for a Good Presentation
Page Text: Using Body Language in Presentations
Page Text: Creating Handouts

File Handout: Example 1
Topic: Corpus-based vocabulary research and the use of dictionaries

This handout focuses on giving an overview of the presentation so that the audience has a summary of the points to look at afterwards.
File Handout: Example 2
Topic: Facebook - dangerous or not?

This handout keeps text to a minimum. It offers the German translations to potentially difficult words and gives a very brief overview of the pros and cons that are discussed in the presentation. There are also questions on the sheet which the audience should discuss with each other at the end of the presentation before having a large discussion in class.
File Handout: Example 3
Topic: Old words and loan words in English

This handout is another example of giving the audience an overview of the points discussed in the presentation. There is also a selection of important terms with their definitions, as well as a source at the bottom.
Book Glossary: Signpost Language

'Signpost language' refers to the words and phrases that tell your audience what has just happened and what is going to happen next. Such language is useful when guiding your listeners through your presentation.
