SIGNALLING LANGUAGE

Signposting the route through a presentation.

In a longer presentation it is useful to signpost the presentation to show where one parts ends and a new one starts. This helps to orientate the audience by making the structure of the presentation clearer to follow.

 

 

Here are some useful phrases and sentences:

Opening a speech First of all, let us consider Let us begin with/by … To begin, … I propose to consider first … The first thing that must be said is/needs to be said that … It would be useful to consider … Let us first of all look at … The first question that arises is … The first point … Marking the stages Next, … Then … The second/third … point … The following/ next/second/third.. part The second/third factor Concluding a speech To sum up … To recap … In the final analysis All in all … What conclusions can be drawn from all this?

GIVING A TALK

When you give a presentation in English, clarity is very important, particularly if there are non-native speakers in your audience. It often helps if you state your purpose at each stage of your talk as well as at the beginning.
