Nature of Oral Presentation
 Oral Presentation is one of the best platforms where non verbal cues are combined
with effective verbal skills adding a broader aspect to your communication. It allows
individuals to present their thoughts and views confidently in-front of a live audience.
 Although this task requires lots of efforts, ideas and enthusiasm, therefore proper
planning, preparation, and practice gets important if you really aim to deliver an
effective oral presentation.
 Oral presentations are a richer medium than written documents.
They allow you to establish stronger contact with the audience and
better convince them of your viewpoint through verbal and
nonverbal delivery, as well as the ensuing interaction.

 Oral presentations, also known as public speaking or simply
presentations, consist of an individual or group verbally
addressing an audience on a particular topic. The aim of this is
to educate, inform, entertain or present an argument.
 Oral presentations are seen within workplaces, classrooms and
even at social events such as weddings. An oral presentation at
university assesses the presenter’s ability to communicate
relevant information effectively in an interesting and engaging
manner.

Mind Mapping
A mind map is a tool for the brain that captures the thinking
that goes on inside your head. Mind mapping helps you think,
collect knowledge, remember and create ideas. Most likely it
will make you a better thinker.
Mind maps can be created in many different ways, but they
share the same basics:

Process of Mind Mapping
6 Easy Steps to Make a Mind Map
1.Enter the Main Topic. Start by entering the main subject in the center of the mind map, for instance “Capitals
of the world”.
2.Brainstorm Topics. Create main branches to enter your topics such as “London”, “Paris”, “New York” and
“Beijing”. Do not worry about the order of the topics.
3.Create Sub-Topics. Elaborate on your topics by creating sub-topics. Make sure to use very short phrases or even
single words.
4.Rearrange the Topics. If you need to rearrange the topics in your mind map, most software tools allow you to
drag-and-drop branches. This will enable you to structure the topics that you brainstormed.
5.Add Images and Formatting. According to the mind mapping theory, images and colors improve memory
retention. You can use different colors and fonts and place images on branches.
6.Notes and Research. Take notes to your topics and attached research files - if your mind mapping software
allows you to.

Concept maps
Concept maps are visual representations of information. They can take the form of
charts, graphic organizers, tables, flowcharts, Venn Diagrams, timelines, or T-charts.
Concept maps are especially useful for students who learn better visually, although
they can benefit any type of learner.
They are a powerful study strategy because they help you see the big picture: by
starting with higher-level concepts, concept maps help you chunk information based
on meaningful connections. In other words, knowing the big picture makes details
more significant and easier to remember.
Concept maps work very well for classes or content that have visual elements or in
times when it is important to see and understand relationships between different
things. They can also be used to analyze information and compare and contrast.

 Guide to Oral Presentation Introductions When giving an oral presentation, the
most important part of your entire presentation is the introduction. This is where
you
 1) capture your audience’s interest,
 2) give them a context for your work,
 3) pose your central question, problem, or issue, and
 4) offer the most concise answer or argument you can give. Remember, this is an
introduction, not a summary.
 Keep in mind that an introduction should constitute about 10% to 20% of the
length of your presentation.
