Einleitung
E10 E - Evaluate and improve presentation performance
Analysiere eine freiwillige eigene Aufnahme oder eine geeignete Beispielpräsentation. Prüfe structure, fluency, pronunciation, media use, evidence und response to questions. Formuliere begründetes Feedback, überarbeite gezielt und übertrage die Erkenntnisse auf Deine nächste Präsentation.
Learning path: English first → understand → respond → analyse → communicate → feedback → revise → transfer.
Safety first: Eigene Aufnahmen sind freiwillig und bleiben möglichst privat. Lade keine Aufnahmen ungefragt hoch und gib sie nicht an externe KI-Dienste weiter. Nutze für öffentliche oder externe Beispiele nur geeignete, rechtssichere Materialien. Prüfe KI-Angaben und Quellen. Dein eigener Text bleibt Dein Text.
I can ...
- I can analyse a presentation using clear criteria.
- I can explain what works and support my judgement with evidence.
- I can give precise, respectful feedback in English.
- I can revise my own speaking, slides and answers independently.
- I can transfer useful strategies to a new presentation task.
Vorwissen aktivieren
Look at the image above. In English, write three observations and one question.
Think: What can make a presentation easy to follow? What can make it difficult?
Listening and Viewing
Viewing 1: Structure and signposting
Watch selected parts of the video. Do not copy phrases blindly. Listen for how the speaker opens, moves from one point to the next and deals with questions.
While viewing, note: opening – signposting – transition – problem handling – question response.
After viewing: Choose two techniques. Explain why they could help a Year 10 presentation.
Viewing 2: One clear idea
Focus on the relationship between idea, audience and structure. Identify one claim made in the video and decide what evidence or example supports it.
Source check: Who is speaking? Where was the talk published? Is the video giving evidence, experience, advice or a mixture?
Viewing 3: Voice and intelligibility
Listen for pace, pauses, emphasis and voice. Your target is intelligibility, not accent-free speech. Different English accents are normal.
Choose a short section and describe what the speaker does with the voice. Then test one useful technique in your own speaking.
Reading and media analysis
A short evaluation text
Example:
The presentation is easy to follow because the speaker announces the main idea early and uses clear transitions. The slides support the message instead of repeating every sentence. One weakness is the evidence: two claims are presented without a source. During the questions, the speaker answers directly but could check whether the question has been fully answered. The next step should be to add one reliable source and practise shorter answers.
Analyse the text: Which sentence describes? Which sentence evaluates? Which sentence gives evidence? Which sentence proposes a revision?
Compare two media choices
Imagine two slides about the same topic:
Slide A: six full sentences, small text, no source.
Slide B: one relevant image, one short claim, one source line.
Explain which slide would better support a spoken presentation in a specific situation. Do not use a rule without context: a diagram, quotation or longer text can be useful when the audience really needs it.
Context vocabulary
Use these words actively, not as a list to memorise:
| Term | Useful meaning in this course | Example |
|---|---|---|
| structure | logical organisation | The structure makes the argument easy to follow. |
| fluency | speaking with workable flow | Her fluency improves when she speaks in chunks. |
| evidence | support for a claim | The statistic needs a reliable source. |
| signposting | language that guides the audience | First, I will explain ... |
| emphasis | making key information stand out | Stress the key word instead of speaking louder all the time. |
| visual | image, chart or slide element | This visual explains the process faster than a paragraph. |
| claim | a statement that may need support | The claim is clear, but the source is missing. |
| response | an answer or reaction | The response is relevant but too long. |
Pronunciation and fluency
Practise thought groups: speak in meaningful chunks, pause between ideas and stress key words. Do not rush to sound fluent.
Try:
The main point / is not the number of slides. / It is whether the audience / can follow the idea.
Record only if you want to. A private rehearsal without recording is equally valid.
Self-check: Can a listener identify the key words? Are pauses helping meaning? Are important terms pronounced consistently?
Functional grammar for feedback
Use grammar to make feedback precise:
| Function | Language |
|---|---|
| describe | The speaker uses ... / The slide shows ... |
| evaluate with evidence | This works because ... / This is less effective because ... |
| suggest | You could ... / It would help to ... |
| set a condition | If you slow down here, the contrast will be clearer. |
| qualify a judgement | In this section ... / For this audience ... / Based on this example ... |
Avoid vague feedback such as Good presentation or Speak better.
Speaking: performance lab
Choose one presentation: a voluntary private recording of your own, a live rehearsal, or an appropriate example presentation.
Use this six-part lens:
| Criterion | Ask yourself | Evidence to note |
|---|---|---|
| structure | Can I follow the line of thought? | opening, order, transitions, ending |
| fluency | Does the speech move in manageable chunks? | pauses, restarts, fillers, pace |
| pronunciation | Is the message intelligible? | word stress, key sounds, sentence stress |
| media use | Do visuals support rather than distract? | relevance, readability, timing, sources |
| evidence | Are important claims supported? | examples, data, quotations, source quality |
| response to questions | Are questions understood and answered? | directness, clarification, follow-up |
E10-E analysis protocol
Work independently.
- Observe: Write down what actually happens.
- Interpret: Explain the likely effect on this audience.
- Support: Give a concrete example from the presentation.
- Compare: Relate one feature to a second presentation, source or media choice.
- Evaluate: Make a justified judgement, not a taste statement.
- Revise: Plan one realistic change and explain how you will test it.
Questions and interaction
Useful response moves:
Clarify: Do you mean ...?
Answer directly: Yes. The main reason is ...
Use evidence: According to the source on slide 4, ...
Limit honestly: I cannot answer that from my evidence, but I can explain ...
Check: Does that answer your question?
Practise with a partner: one speaker, one questioner, one observer. Rotate roles.
Writing: evidence-based feedback
Write 120–180 words of feedback in English.
Use this sequence:
Strength → evidence → improvement point → evidence → precise revision → expected effect.
Keep the presenter's own wording where it already works. Do not rewrite the whole presentation for them.
Mediation
A classmate understands German feedback but must revise an English presentation. Mediate the useful points in concise English for that purpose. Do not translate every sentence. Select what the classmate needs to act.
Feedback and revision
Use the rule one change – one test – one decision.
Example: shorten one slide → rehearse the section → ask whether the main point is clearer → keep or revise again.
Error analysis
Do not only count mistakes. Look for patterns.
| Pattern | Possible cause | Targeted action |
|---|---|---|
| too many fillers | planning while speaking | rehearse chunks and pauses |
| unclear key words | weak stress or uncertain pronunciation | mark key words and practise them in context |
| overloaded slides | slide used as script | reduce text and speak the explanation |
| unsupported claims | source forgotten | add and check a reliable source |
| long answers | no response structure | answer first, explain second |
Source criticism and AI check
For one claim in a presentation, check:
- Who created the information?
- When was it published or updated?
- What evidence is provided?
- Can a second reliable source confirm it?
- Is the claim stronger than the evidence allows?
If an AI tool has suggested a fact, quotation or source, verify it independently before using it. Do not send private recordings, personal data or classmates' work to an external AI service without informed permission.

Transfer
Prepare a new 90-second micro-presentation on a different school topic. Use one visual and one checked source. After presenting, answer one question. Then explain which improvement strategy transferred successfully and which needs further work.
