and theories. on topic. Use of Media Linking media with speaking; Knowledge in handling of media; general appearance of media materials (legibility, layout) X1 No communication aids are used, or they are so poorly prepared that they detract from the presentation. Media used are poorly prepared or used inappropriately (i.e. timing is off, slides are out of order, font is too small, too much information is included). Presenter shows lack of knowledge in the handling of media used. Media used contributes to the quality of presentation. Presenter has adequate knowledge of handling media being used. Font size is appropriate for reading. Media used are well integrated with speech and with each other. Presenter shows expertise in preparing and using media. Materials are legible, attractive and well laid-out and support overall effectiveness of presentation. Mechanics Grammar, gestures, pace X1 Listeners are so distracted by the presenter’s apparent difficulty with grammar, pronunciation and inappropriate vocabulary that they cannot focus on the ideas presented. Presentation includes some grammatical errors, sentences are incomplete and vocabulary is somewhat limited. Mannerisms and gestures are distracting and presenter speaks too quickly or too slowly. Most sentences are complete and grammatical, most words express precise meaning. Presenter speaks at appropriate pace. Sentences are complete and grammatical, and they flow together easily. Presenter shows good grasp of language (grammar, sentence structure), uses gestures effectively to support ideas, pace is neither too fast nor too slow; presenter shows good preparation. Groups Coordination of presenters. Flow and organization of transitions between speakers and sections X2 Members’ information presented is duplicative, contradictory or both. and/or Non-equal participation of members Awkward transitions from one presenter to another; information flow is not smooth Although presenters have varying levels of presentation skills, all are comfortable with the material they present. Introduction of group members and brief explanation of their contributions. Smooth transition between presenters. Material flows logically.
