How to create a prezi presentation

Hello , my dear readers ! 
Today we are going to discuss the importance of presentations on English lessons . How to implement them properly and which tool is the most appropriate for stusents .
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.
  • Normally a presentation lesson will have an outline like this:
    • Revision of key language areas
    • Example presentation, which could be from a textbook or given by the teacher
    • Students are given a transcript or outline of the presentation
    • Students identify key stages of the example presentation – greeting, introduction, main points in order of importance, conclusion
    • Focus on linking and signalling words ('Next…', 'Now I'd like you to look at…', etc.). Students underline these in the transcript/place them in the correct order
    • Students are put into small groups and write down aims
    • Students then write down key points which they order, as in the example
    • Students decide who is going to say what and how
    • Students prepare visuals (keep the time for this limited as too many visuals become distracting)
    • Students practise at their tables
    • Students deliver the presentations in front of the class, with the audience having an observation task to complete (see 'Assessment' below)

Read as much as you can Just as we say that listening is closely related to speaking, reading is closely related to writing so our number 1 tip for improving your English writing would be to  read as much as you can!  This will help you improve your vocabulary, grammar, sentence structure, and show you there are many different ways to communicate ideas.  For example:  If you need to write a description of a house or a bio of yourself, a great idea is to read some other bios or house descriptions, from books, magazines, brochures, the internet or whatever source you can think of. After having read others, then you can attempt to write your own.  You’ll realize it’s much easier than trying to write without any previous input! Wh

ICT tools and English Language Teaching Advantages of working with ICT tools According to Pete Sharma and Barney Barret (2007), there are several reasons for using technology in language teaching. In addition to the fact that technology can be motivating, it offers the possibility to work autonomously or interact and collaborate with others. Technology also provides instant feedback on language performance in various tasks and exercises. Technology can also be an extension of the classroom and can be time saving. Finally, technology can promote language learning with fresh authentic and motivating materials directly usable from the Internet. Using blended learning, which they define as “a language course that combines a face-to-face classroom component with an appropriate use of technology”, Pete Sharma and Barney Barret (2007: 7) suggest that “positive learning outcomes are most apparent when clear roles are assigned to the teacher and to the technology.” In the following
