alfagal SG

NT2 SG

Marco_Simone SG

actually i m not afraid of making presentations but i only scared the Q&A segment dont know how to answer

OasisBlue SG

sometimes when presenter is appointed at the time of presentation, one will say " i did the slides" another will say" i help to click to the next slide"

Marco_Simone SG

Ya,someone will say "I'll be the one to click the slides."

So that means 2 less options to select from to do the presentation.

The rest will give u the blur look...

rainee SG

yup, am a teacher Wink

Marco_Simone SG

what level???

OasisBlue SG

1 less option when another said i did the research Rolling Eyes

rainee SG

my students having their final presentation in 1/2 hour time Twisted Evil

they oso said they scared of the Q&A session...

and most of them not confident presenting in English oso

ChoCoChips SG

suddenly ur friend will have no voice.

Marco_Simone SG

Then u noe la,the group usually will have 1 more "on",more charismatic person,usually he/she will be the "unofficial" leader,when lan lan no one does the presentation,he will do it.

Then those who give u the blur look type will quietly celebrate in their hearts

rainee SG

teaching english, ielts and also some business courses

alexkusu SG

Asian culture not that assertive compared to angmoh ma.

Just keep their heads down and work quietly.

OasisBlue SG

ya Laughing he/she, during grp work, will be instructing etc etc more than the leader.

Marco_Simone SG

Ok,all the examples I mentioned so far happened to me during my uni days.

Now,lets shift gears and talk about the working world.

Today i went for a seminar,then u noe la got those group discussion crap.

My group is my head of department and my dept ppl.

5 ladies(who r more senior than me) n 1 guy.

We didnt mention anything abt who present later so we just discuss.

After finish discussion,suddenly my head say I present.Though she is our head,we can talk to her like friend friend like that.I say"cannot la,dun bully younger boys like me" Then the rest of my group intervened and say I present.

I know I lost the fight liao...Luckily I never screwed up the presentation. Wink

ironoxideman SG

yea,im scared of those. theres a name for it, some kind of social anxiety or what lol. so when i present,to stop my voice frm trembling i will speak louder (i.e. shout) unconsciously… and once i was told tht i looked very angry when i was stopped halfway through my presentation 0_o

alexkusu SG
