New Section

The oral presentation is a type of spoken presentation where one or more people make known, to an audience of listeners, a certain topic. This section discusses the characteristics, structure, elements, and techniques of oral presentations.

Characteristics of the Oral Presentation

• An oral presentation has a clear purpose and can be delivered in various settings such as business organizations or classrooms. The objective needs to be clearly defined.

• It adapts to the audience by being prepared specifically for them, considering their background knowledge and expectations.

• Unnecessary details should be avoided to ensure a clear and concise presentation that focuses on the main message.

• Well-designed visual aids are important for enhancing the presentation's effectiveness. They should be clear, organized, and large enough for the audience to interpret correctly.

• Time management is crucial in oral presentations. Credibility can be lost if the presentation exceeds the allotted time.

Support Elements for Oral Presentations

Support elements are physical resources that facilitate communication between the speaker and listeners. Common support elements include:

• The blackboard or whiteboard: Phrases, concepts, graphs, or diagrams can be written or drawn on these boards during the presentation.

• Slides: Computer-generated slides with texts, images, graphics, and figures can be used to present information in a series.

• Videos: Image and sound reproduction systems that effectively introduce or illustrate content related to the topic.

• The script: A series of notes detailing the fundamental points to be developed in the oral presentation. It helps the presenter gain confidence but should not be read verbatim during the exhibition.

Structure of an Oral Presentation

An oral presentation generally follows this structure:

• The title: Communicates what will be discussed in the exhibition and its objective.

• The introduction: Reveals the topic's importance and scope while expressing objectives.

• The body of the presentation: Develops the theme with different points, using examples, analogies, stories, drawings, graphs, or images to engage the audience.

• The closing: Summarizes the most important points presented and aims to reinforce concepts in the audience's minds.

Types of Oral Presentations

Oral presentations can be classified into two groups: individual and collective. Individual exhibitions involve only one presenter.

Characteristics of Formal Presentations

• Formal presentations are typically devoid of supporting elements and have a serious tone.

• They require a structured approach and do not involve interactive elements.

Types of Collective Exhibitions

• Collective exhibitions involve multiple presenters who distribute the elaboration of the exhibition among themselves.

• The speakers agree on their respective parts, duration, and order of interventions.

• Two common types of collective presentations are:

• Round table: Presenters propose different viewpoints on the subject matter.

• Symposium: Participants are experts in various aspects related to the topic.
