G-HSLP Workshop “Effective Research Presentations”

Purpose and Outline

The need for researchers and clinicians to make presentations in English is increasing in our globalized world. The skills learned in this course will be useful in academic conferences, patient presentations, lectures, job interviews, and other instances where you need to explain something clearly to your audience be it one or 100. Students will present their own research and get feedback from their peers as well as the workshop instructor. Through listening to others presentations and practicing questioning and answering, students can improve their speaking, listening, critical thinking and discussion skills.

Objectives

At the end of the workshop, students will be able to:

1) Create effective slides and scripts for presentations

2) Have more confidence in their presenting skills and ability to handle Q & A

Eligibility

TMDU Graduate Studens
Both International and Japanese students are welcome.

Format

Up to 4 students can sign up to each workshop session. All 4 students will come prepared and give a 10-minute presentation about their own research work. Each presentation will be followed by a 5-minute question and answer session, and feedback from instructor and peers. By signing up students promise to attend the time period they have reserved for the workshop. Presenters must supply the instructor with at least 3 questions to ask during the Q&A session. By doing so they can practice answering the kinds of questions that they anticipate the audience asking.
