Sun, Apr 30, 10:00-10:50 Asia/Seoul

One of the most effective techniques to develop strength and confidence in teaching is produce a conference presentation for a wider audience. It connects the speaker to other professionals, allowing oneself to grow professionally. However, many teachers are intimidated by preparing and delivering a conference proposal. This presentation draws from the presenter’s own extensive experience in different types of conferences over at least a decade. The presentation shows how to write an effective abstract, integrate the intended material for presentation, pace and organize the presentation within the set time, respect the audience’s context, and manage other considerations for a successful conference presentation. Expect to interact with others on these topics and to learn helpful tips and techniques for any presenter. Regardless of your experience as a presenter yourself, you will find this presentation enlightening.

This pecha kucha presentation is extemporaneous and based on audience suggestions about TESOL. The presenter asks the audience about topics at the conference they wanted to hear but didn’t get a chance to hear about. Key words will be put on a whiteboard or in a small notebook. The presenter has pecha-kucha slides prepared – 20 slides timed at 20 seconds each – but does not know in advance what topics will be requested. With the topics suggested, the presenter begins the presentation, addressing topics from the audience while connecting them to pecha kucha slides prepared in advance. The pictures may inspire connections or word choice while the presentation occurs. The pictures themselves will be simple, appropriate for public viewing, but unrelated to TESOL or other related fields. The presentation lasts six minutes and 40 seconds. The goal is that those in attendance see the topics suggested in a more creative, connected, and entertaining light.
