Have you ever thought about how to get your point across?
When giving a presentation to an audience of native English speakers, you need to know how to communicate effectively. However, being good at communicating isn’t about sounding like a native speaker.
Effective communication is about sending a clear message to your audience. Let’s look at all the ways to do that.
It’s Not Just About the Accent
A lot of people think you need to speak English with a perfect accent to be understood. But that’s not true–what really matters is that people understand what you’re saying.
Communication is More Than Just Talking
When we discuss with someone or try to persuade someone, we don’t just use words. We use our voice, our tone, our hands, and even our faces to get our point across. You can be great at communicating, no matter if English is your first language or not, by improving the way that you deliver your message.
Voice and How You Say Things
How you say something is just as important as what you say. The way you change your voice – like speaking louder or with excitement – can make what you’re saying more interesting. Anyone can change their volume and intonation to emphasize their message and engage their audience.
Using Your Hands and Face
Your hands and face are important for showing how you feel and what you mean. Sometimes what you do with your hands or the look on your face says more than words. People who learn to express their meaning through their non-verbal body language make their words even more powerful.
Putting Your Thoughts in Order
When you’re talking or writing, the way you put your thoughts together matters a lot. Taking time to organize your message in a logical way and clearly stating why your audience should listen to you will make what they say clearer and easier to follow.
Conclusion
You don’t have to be a native English speaker to excel at giving presentations in English. Effective communication is about putting your thoughts together well being clear when you speak or write, using your voice and body to support your message. Remember, it’s not about where you’re from or what your native language is, but how you connect with others when you talk.
