listeners

You need to understand the structure of your talk & be able to talk about what you are doing/saying.

Moving through a talk

You need to be able to think on your feet

Topic change

• “Now, let’s look at ..”
• “Moving to the next topic, ..”
• “Going back to ..”

Not doing all

the parts of the speech you prepared,

because it’s too long.

• “Moving along now, ..”
• “If you’re interested in this, look at ..”

Adding some extra details

to your prepared speech because it’s too short.

“Let me say some more about this, ..”

Ending the talk

== Roundtable discussions

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyZXW20Y7ok

2 simultaneous ‘rooms’: Front, ie Green, Gray, Brown, Blue, Black. Near the front door Back, ie Orange, Pink, Purple, Red, White. Near the back door

The discussants will stand toward the center of the room and face their audiences standing together around the edge of the room and looking at them.

I will grade the discussant groups on what I can hear of their discussion (which may not be too much, seeing 2 groups will be speaking at once.)

I will also grade the groups on the basis of the reactions of their AUDIENCE. Is the audience interested in what the groups is saying? Are they looking at the discussants? Is there an air of electricity in the room?

Grades will range from 2-5.

Exam 1 – First Round

First roundtable: Black, White present

Green, Gray, Brown, Blue, BLACK Orange, Pink, Purple, Red, WHITE

After speaking, Black, and White leave their ‘rooms,’ moving to the back or front. Everyone else stays in the same place

Slide Presentations: Week 6 homework

9 words or more: 3 words per line

Some common errors for which you will lose points:

No slides: minus 1 point Post not in FLA0028 album: minus 1 point No, zero-length sound file: 1 point People who didn’t divide the presentation clearly into sections: -1 point People whose slides didn’t seem connected to their content: -1 point People who put their points all on one line: - 1 point People who extracted sentences from a written speech: -1 point People who used my slides, rather than their slides: People who didn’t have topics and/or names and ids as title of their files: -1 point People who hid the link URL behind a meaningful name: -1 point

• Don’t read it! If you don’t hesitate/speak slowly, I know you are reading it. Don’t do that!

Next week, I will take away points for interviews which sound like they are being read.

Slides to learn from

The 9 words hit it: They describe the presentation as it divides into 3 sections.

The first word is the title, the next 4 words describe 4 effects of the thing referred to in the title. The 4 things are equally important.

Good dummy interview – Bad dummy interview

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igSiFH-SVHg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbhXMTzaZJgddk

Week 7 Interview Homework

• It has to be about the content of the slides the interviewEE posted in Week 6 and presented about. Listen to his/her wretch.cc presentation.

Ask some interesting questions about the presentation. Say who you are interviewing, on the soundfile.

On elearning, as title, the interviewER writes ‘Judy on her pet’, ie the name of the interviewEE and the subject of the interview.

Write 12-15 words that summarize the interviewer’s questions in 3 lines. DON’T write the questions.

Upload the soundfile to the interviewER’s FLA0028 album. As title, write ‘Judy on her pet’, and as description, write ‘Minnie V9641007’, the interviewer’s name and ID.

The interviewER gets the grade.

== Week 7 Interview

They were good because:

topics chosen by the interviewee challenging questions by interviewer spontaneous exchange of ideas (interviewers’ real questions)

• It has to be about the content of the slides
• Don’t interview someone about your topic, interview them about their topic.
• State who you are interviewing.

They were bad because:

Exam Week 9

Interview of the corresponding member of the next team about one presentation of the interviewee on wretch.cc

A in the Orange team interviews A in the Black team A in the Black team interviews A in the Blue team A in the Blue team interviews A in the Brown team A in the Brown team interviews A in the Gray team A in the Gray team interviews A in the Green team

A in the Green team interviews A in the White team A in the White team interviews A in the Red team A in the Red team interviews A in the Purple team A in the Purple team interviews A in the Pink team A in the Pink team interviews A in the Orange team

The same for B, C and D

Green team has no D, so Maggie in the Gray team will interview Molly in the White team.

This means everyone will do 2 interviews: one as interviewer, one as interviewee.

Listen to the presentation of your interviewee on http://elearning.nuu.edu.tw in week 6 and the two interviews of your interviewee in week 7 and 5.

The interviewer will get the grade.

Judging the interview, the performance of the interviewee is important. If the interviewee is dynamic, or speaks a lot the interviewer will get a grade.

Wesley: If the interviewee doesn’t speak well, the interviewer will get a low grade!

Dr Bean: It’s the responsibiity of the interviewer to show the interviewee at her best.

Wesley: It’s too hard!

The exam in front of the class? Or in the small groups? In small groups. 12-20 people.

One minute or less is long enough, no? If it’s longer, it just becomes a conversation, rather than an interview.

We need to start quickly in the first hour, because there are lots of (36) interviews to do.

If an interviewer-interviewee pair is missing when it is its turn to speak, they lose points.

We will not do debates after the interviews.

Exam Two

There are 4 rooms:

White Purple BrownBrown Gray Black Brown Orange FRONT LEFT ROOM FRONT RIGHT ROOM (with Cloud)

Pink Yellow Red Blue Green BlueBlue BlackBlack BACK LEFT ROOM BACK RIGHT ROOM (with Allen)

The interviewer interviews the interviewee, then leaves the room for the other room on his/her side.

In the other room, he/she becomes the interviewee.

He/she then stays in the other room until the end of the interviews.

Fairness

Either move WhiteA&B to Left Or, Weight votes, so 20 Left votes equals 24 Right Votes.
