Unit 6

 

3. Discuss these statements:

 

1. Don’t put too much data on slides: no more than six lines of text, and no

more than six words per line.

2. Too many visuals confuse the audience: don’t overload them with slides.

3. Don’t be too technical: adapt to the target audience, and don’t read out

text on slides.

4. Help the audience to understand by introducing, highlighting and

explaining the most important information.

5. Check all materials and equipment, and have backups for everything.

 

4. Read the text below and find:

a) eight advantages of using visual aids

b) three warnings about using visual aids

 

Dinckel and Parnham (1985) say that “The great danger (in using visual aids) is that presenters place the major emphasis on visual aid and relegate themselves to the minor role of narrator or technician. You are central to the presentation. The visual aids need you, your interpretation, your explanation, your conviction and your justification.

Visual aids can make information more memorable and they help the speaker. However, they must literally support what the speaker says and not simply replace the spoken information. It is also not enough to just read text from a visual aid.

There are many advantages to the correct use of visual aids. They can show information which is not easily expressed in words or they can highlight information. They cause the audience to employ another sense to receive information, they bring variety and therefore increase the audience’s attention. They save time and they clarify complex information.
