How can I make my students part of the English language teaching method? Do you think presentations about different topics might help?

Presentations are a great way to have students practise all language systems areas (vocabulary, grammar, discourse and phonology) and skills (speaking, reading, writing and listening). They also build confidence, and presenting is a skill that most people will need in the world of work. I find that students who are good presenters are better communicators all round, since they are able to structure and express their ideas clearly.

  • Presentation skills are extremely useful both in and outside the classroom. After completing a project, a presentation is a channel for students to share with others what they have learned. It is also a chance to challenge and expand on their understanding of the topic by having others ask questions. And in the world of work, a confident presenter is able to inform and persuade colleagues effectively.
  • Presentations can also form a natural part of task based learning. By focussing on a particular language point or skill, the presentation is a very practical way to revise and extend book, pair and group work. The audience can also be set a task, for example, a set of questions to answer on the presentation, which is a way of getting students to listen to each other.

 Conclusion

Presentations are a great way to practise a wide range of skills and to build the general confidence of your students. Due to problems with timing, I would recommend one lesson per term, building confidence bit by bit throughout the year. In a school curriculum this leaves time to get through the core syllabus and prepare for exams.

This day’s presentations in the best method for understanding not only language to children for all other topics like study, professional fields, job activities, new projects and products .

Through group/joint presentation everyone will have their own knowledge, questions and answer from different participants to share with others resulting we will get good outcomes.

 

Also presentation will give confidante to the presenters during question and answering sessions

Presentation techniques such as drilling, eliciting and concept checking play an important role in making students part of  the teaching method.

Always relate it to them. Relate whatever you teach to their personal and professional lives. A good thing you can also do is to involve them in some of the class decisions such as when to have exams, when to have breaks, how they would like to be taught a certain topic. By doing this, you'll be surprised to discover how greatly their commitment is enhanced.

Making the students to fall in love with the class before loving the language, for example games, random presentations and debates (should not be debates of actual things, for example a debate of monsters on the moon) fun and happiness along with their own creativity does magic
