For a teacher, it is essential to be able to give effective presentations. The following pieces of work give us some hints on how to achieve it.


 * 1. Video.**

[|How to give a good presentation] media type="youtube" key="LVtWYe-rkxs" height="344" width="425" This video contains a few simple but useful advises on how to give and not to give a presentation. We liked it, since it presents the content in a quite original way.

As a resource, the videos are important in my field, since it can bring students closer to places, processes, experiments, etc. It helps to create a context for the teaching, and it makes the teaching more purposeful.


 * 2. Podcast.**

**[|Giving a presentation]**

The objective of this podcast teaching some useful expressions related to giving a presentation. The importance of this resource (podcasting) in my field is based on the possibilities it gives for listening to different dialects and accents, and for practicing listening skills.


 * 3. Article:**

Even read:



The article talks about the main steps when preparing an oral presentation: planning, structure and language of the speech, the use of visuals, how to create an interest, body language, voice and pronunciation.

The conversion of articles into a recording might be useful when I want my students to improve their listening skills. On the other hand, in low grades, when the objective of teaching is not the writing skill, all the teaching must be done orally. The students in grade 1 or 2 are not able to read in English, so, they must just listen to what we have to teach them.
