Presentation Class

Presenting in front of a large group can be a daunting task in any language. I expected a lot of nervous students in this class. However, I was happily surprised and continue to be impressed with the students’ ability to present their material in a clear, confident manner. During class, students paired up to do presentations on familiar topics such as their favorite places and their favorite movies. They were only given a short time to prepare, but every team did a fantastic job. I especially enjoy the last day when the students share a personal anecdote with the class. There are always a few hilarious and memorable stories: Suyeon running away from her teachers with her tangsuyook (no sauce), Minkyeong’s chilling ghost story, Shin Ahram’s accidental “date,” and Jihye’s brother and the thief. If you don’t know these stories yet, ask these students to tell them to you in English. I hope this class taught you not to be afraid or shy with English. I also hope it helped you to become more confident expressing yourself in English. Now, you are ready to impress people in any situation- in a boardroom or at a party.

Enjoy!
