INTRODUCTION:-

With increased concerns about weak communication skills and

self-confidenceamonguniversitystudents, it’s important thatstudents

are trained on presentation skills. I believe social Anxiety and oral

presentation are the biggest issues that international students are

sufferingintheUNCO.However,Iwanttoteachinternationalstudents

who are suffering from Social Anxiety on how to introduce their

presentationswithout any stress. I think there is a need for this topic

because students have to graduate from the university with

communicationskillsthathelpthemspeakpublicallywithoutbeingshy.

Also,Ithinkthisisanimportanttopicforstudentstolearnbecauseithelpsto

becomesuccessful.Whenaperson’spublicpresentationisconfusing,the

speakersmaylosesupportandpotentialcooperation.APowerPoint

lesson will help learners understand social anxiety and presentation

skills. Amovie demonstration PresidentObama presentation skillwill

beusedtomodelspeakingbehaviors.

Practice

Practice; learners practice what they learn in the first mission.

First, in small groups, learners will talk about narrating positive

experiencesandattitudes.

Attitudes.Second,learnershavetopracticehowtoavoidanxietywhen

DegreeofAchievement:-

Efficiency:

I would assess the efficiency by observing the learners

performance when they use the instruction. For example, provides

learnerswith a reading assignment and ask them to discuss. In fact, I

willobservehoweasilylearnersunderstandmyinstructions.Iflearners

seem confused and do not know what to do I will record their

information and make a mental note to make things easier to

understand.

Appeal:

Learners will be under observation during the project time to

explore the impediments. Iwillobserve ifengaged interested,positive

about theexperience. Iwillassess thatbydetermininghowmotivatingor
