Target Audience:

Who are they?
Students (especially in their final years), interns, and junior employees who are new to professional environments.What do they have in common?
They have good technical knowledge about their field, but they lack experience in sharing that knowledge with others.What is their problem?
They get very nervous speaking in public, their talks are messy and unorganized, and they struggle with time management during presentations.What do they want?
To overcome stage fright, learn a clear formula to organize their thoughts, and become confident, structured presenters.

Prerequisites:Knowledge: Basic familiarity with at least one presentation tool (like PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Slides, or even just a whiteboard).Skill: The ability to record a video of yourself (using a phone or webcam) to submit practical homework.Content: You must have a specific topic or project (related to your studies or work) that you can use to practice during the course.

Expected Learning Outcomes:

— Psychology: Understand why stage fright happens and use breathing, focus, and pre-presentation routines to reduce anxiety and build confidence.
— Structure: Take messy ideas and organize them using clear structures (like the «Problem-Solution-Result» model or storytelling), and craft compelling openings and memorable closings.
— Audience Analysis: Identify your audience’s needs and knowledge level, and tailor your message and tone to resonate with them.
— Visual Design: Design slides that are easy to read and understand (using less text, good spacing, and clear fonts) and use visuals/data strategically to support your message.
— Data & Evidence: Translate complex data or technical information into clear, persuasive takeaways using analogies and simplified visualizations.
— Engagement: Keep the audience involved through eye contact, rhetorical questions, and interactive elements, while reading the room to adjust your pace.
— Delivery: Deliver a 10-minute presentation without going off-topic, using good voice control, pauses, and intentional body language.
— Impromptu Speaking: Think on your feet to deliver clear, concise answers during Q&A or unexpected interruptions without rambling.
— Preparation & Rehearsal: Develop a systematic practice routine, manage your time effectively, and incorporate peer feedback to improve.
— Technology & Environment: Navigate basic technical setup, handle glitches gracefully, and adapt your delivery for in-person or virtual formats.

Control & Assessment ElementsPeer Review: Students check each other’s slides and structure using a checklist and give feedback.
Self-Check Video: After recording a practice video, students use a checklist to grade their own body language and pauses.
Short Intro Video: Students record just the first 1-2 minutes of their speech. This checks if they can grab the audience’s attention without the stress of doing the whole presentation.
Teacher Outline Check: The teacher quickly looks at the student’s outline halfway through the course. This makes sure the student is on the right track before they make their slides.
Audio-Only Practice: Students record a 3-minute audio file (no video or slides). This checks if their voice is clear, loud, and interesting enough on its own.
Question Prep: Students write down 3 questions the audience might ask, and how they would answer them. This checks if they really know their topic.
At the end of the course (Summative Assessment — checking final learning):Final Project: A recorded video of a full 10-minute presentation, along with the slide file.
Reflective Essay: A short text (about 300 words) where the student writes about how they improved, what was hard, and what they did well.
Using Feedback Note: Students write down at least 2 pieces of advice they got from classmates or the teacher during the course, and explain how they fixed those things in their final video. This shows they can listen and improve.
Final Classmate Review: Students watch a classmate’s final video and grade it using a checklist. This helps them spot good presentation skills in others.
Surprise Questions: The teacher or a classmate asks 2 surprise questions about the final presentation, and the student answers them. This checks if they can handle live questions without a script.

Final cours Result / Outcome of the Course:— Build a clear speech:
Organize a 10-minute presentation with a strong start, a clear middle, and a memorable ending.
— Grab attention:
Hook the audience right away in the first two minutes of the speech.
— Design good slides:
Create simple, clean slides that help the speech, instead of slides that confuse the audience or have too much text.
— Use their voice well:
Change their speed, volume, and tone to sound natural, and use pauses instead of saying «um» or «uh.»
— Control their body:
Use good posture, natural hand gestures, and steady eye contact (looking at the camera) to look confident.
— Handle nerves:
Feel less nervous and more prepared when speaking in front of a camera or a group.
— Speak without slides:
Explain their ideas clearly using only their voice, so they don’t rely only on pictures or text.
— Answer questions:
Listen to audience questions and give clear, calm answers on the spot without getting confused.
— Give helpful feedback:
Look at a classmate’s presentation and tell them exactly what they did well and what they can fix.
— Use advice to improve:
Take the feedback they get from others and actually use it to make their next presentation better.
— Check their own work:
Watch their own practice videos, spot their own mistakes, and know how to fix them on their own.

Delivery, Body Language, and Interaction— Aware body language: What to do with your hands, eye contact, and moving in the space.
— How to talk with your slides, instead of just reading from them.
— Handling Q&A (Questions and Answers).
— Homework: Record a 5-minute practice video (combining content and slides) and review a classmate’s video.
