Training on How to Successfully Conduct Presentations in English

Abstract

In the era of globalization, the ability to communicate in English has become one of the most essential skills, both in academic and professional settings. One crucial aspect of this communication is the ability to deliver effective presentations in English. English presentations not only test speaking skills but also the ability to present ideas in a structured manner, capture the audience's attention, and use English appropriately.  However, many high school students face challenges in mastering English presentation skills. These challenges may arise due to a lack of confidence, minimal practice, and limited knowledge of effective presentation techniques. Therefore, efforts are needed to help students overcome these obstacles through structured training.  This Community Service Program (PKM) aims to provide training for high school students to enhance their presentation skills in English. Through this program, it is expected that students will be able to express their ideas effectively, confidently, and skillfully in a global environment.  The training program will be carried out in several stages: Preparation Stage, which includes developing training modules covering basic presentation materials, effective presentation techniques, and English-speaking practice. It also involves coordinating with the school regarding the implementation of the training, scheduling, and participant selection, as well as providing presentation tools such as projectors, laptops, and other multimedia equipment.  Implementation Stage, where the training will take place over three days.  Evaluation and Follow-up Stage, to assess the effectiveness of the training and plan further actions.
