 In today’s context of what Ong has called ‘secondary orality’, determined by high-tech culture, nobody seems to question the importance of oral communication. Daily life requires the use of speech, careful listening and the critical perception of messages, both in direct and mediated communication. In this regard, mastery of oral communication is one of the two basic skills, along with writing, that enables effective communication in all possible situations.

 The most recent curricular parameters reflect the importance of covering spoken expression and the acquisition of oral communication skills amongst professionals, such as researchers or teachers, who must become competent public speakers. A substantial portion of the time researchers spend working is devoted to public presentations, in which they must present and explain their scientific projects. Mastery of oral communication skills is thus essential to these professionals’ ability to deliver these public presentations effectively.

 This workshop focuses on learning and mastering public speaking, understood as the art of speaking and convincing required for the public presentations given by researchers. To this end, it aims to help researchers acquire the skills they need to select and organize the scientific content to be presented to effectively present the content by using  use voice and gestures, and to choose the most suitable aids and supporting materials.

 OBJECTIVES

 GENERAL: To learn and put into practice oral communication skills and techniques to improve communicative competence in public presentations of scientific content.

 SPECIFIC:

 CONTENT

 -To know how to select and structure scientific data for public presentation.

 -To learn to use different rhetorical figures to capture and hold the audience’s attention.

 FORM

 -To identify and control basic aspects of non-verbal communication (gestures, voice, posture, fear) in order to successfully deliver a talk.

 -To approach a public presentation to a target audience with confidence.

 STAGING

 -To learn to use multimedia and audiovisual aids and supporting materials (PowerPoint, Prezi, KeyNote, etc., and supporting materials).

 -To learn how to move within the provided space.

 -To learn how to manage time.

 METHODOLOGY

 The course will consist of three sessions, lasting two and a half hours each, in which the basic concepts will be practically explained with the help of examples.
