ACADEMIC PRESENTATIONS The Basics 3

WHAT IS AN ACADEMIC PRESENTATION? An academic presentation is a presentation that shows a situation, idea, or practicum using research and data. Academic presentations are used at conferences, universities, seminars, news briefings, and at many different events. The difference with academic preferences is that if only focuses on the facts, not opinions. 4

PARTS OF AN ACADEMIC PRESENTATION There a couple of basic parts of an academic presentation 1. Background information – introduce the topic with thesis statement (who, what, when, where) – shouldn’t be too long [about 30 sec. ] 2. Describe the current situation or idea – break it down into three or four categories based on the information gathered at the research [about 2 – 2. 5 minutes] 3. Give some implications for the future or the needs or opportunities currently – use the research to tell what needs to be done or what can be done [about 1 minute] ***Never put your own opinion into an academic presentation. *** 5

GRAMMAR TO CONSIDER • Background Information • Use simple past tense – “Typhoons struck the coast of Korea over and over again in 2019. ” • Use perfect-present tense – “Climate change has effected numerus industries. ” • Use perfect-present/past-continuous tense – “Increased storms have (had) been effecting the fishing industry of Korea for decades. ” • Current Situation • It is usually better to use simple present or perfect-present for this section. • “Currently, the government states that they are concerned about the effects of climate change. ” • “Local communities have been on edge because of rising sea levels. ” • Implications Section • Using simple future mixed with prediction words (may, might, likely, certainly) is ideal. • “Climate change will likely continue to effect Korea in the future. ” • Other tenses can work; these are just suggestions. 6

STORY MESSAGE – MAKING A GOOD FLOW IN A PRES. • Having an effective story and flow is important when presenting • Having a thesis statement at the end of your introduction is important • Thesis – what is the main point or reason for your presentation • For academic presentations, having good transitions is important • When starting a new section, try to always transition by first telling what the section topic will be • “In order to understand climate change, one must first understand where it comes from. ” • “Secondly, methane from cattle is playing an increasing role in greenhouse gas emissions. ” • Always list important information first and examples and data later 77

EXAMPLE: CAUSES OF INCREASING CLIMATE CHANGE First we need a thesis. What could be a good thesis? You need to first establish the main points. How should we present background info? What are the main causes of climate change that we want to address? Now let’s make a thesis statement. What are the implications? 9

CURRENT EVENT PRESENTATION GUIDELINES • Choose an issue from current news, either domestic or international. Domestic issue does not have to be limited to Korea but may be expanded to other countries if that is where you are from or have lived before. The issue may NOT be solely related to sports, entertainment, food and travel. When in doubt, ASK. • When you choose an issue, search for the news source. You may find it either from the Internet, newspaper, magazines, etc. , but remember, we are talking about “current” event. You may not choose an issue that was on the news a month ago and forgotten by people afterwards. You need to find at least sources on the issue. • Make sure that your presentation has all of the parts of a presentation that were listed in the lecture: • Background information • Describe the current situation or idea • Give some implications for the future or the needs or opportunities currently • The overall presentation should be about 4 minutes, and allow some extra time for Q & A. Not only the instructor but also your fellow classmates may ask questions. The presentation cannot be more than 5 minutes! • You need at least 3 sources for this presentation. Don’t forget to have a reference page at the end. 31
