很多留学生表示，自己的雅思分数很高，但是出国留学发现，自己听不懂老师上课讲的内容，以及作业要求，常常完成的作业分数不高，明明自己已经很努力了，下面小编教大家看懂作业要求，英文presentation大扫盲，让留学生作业拿高分。

怎么样是一个合格的甚至是优秀的presentation呢?明确问题+解决问题(头脑风暴)+勤加练习(口语表达&时间控制)。

一、明确问题

首先，明确下老师的要求是什么?

如：

Task:Describe and critique a research paper

You will be randomly assigned a group and paper in week 2.These are all recent research papers which were selected to ensure they:Span a range of topics,focus on different populations,use different research designs,use different approaches to data collection and analysis.

Assignment 1:Group presentation(20%of final coursework)

please note that presentations will be video recorded for the purpose of examination and only your course organiser,the moderator and external examiner will be able to view these.

Students will work together in small groupsfor the presentation task and deliver a 9-12 minute presentation where they critically analyse an academic article related to the course.

以assignment为例，主要是进行学术文章的评价与分析，那一篇journal article由哪些部分组成呢?

Introduction-literature review-method-result-implications-conclusion

二、解决问题

一般来说，组员要先通读整篇文章，并对该话题有基本的了解。其次，小组meeting的时候会分配每个人负责的部分。之后，组员要精读自己的部分，并作简要的概述。

那如何成就一个好的presentation?如何展现critical thinking and analyses?Relate：把这部分内容与曾经学过的内容联系起来。Refer：找该话题相关研究，与他人的结果作对比(相似或相悖)Rationale：有理有据的来支持你的论点，理性思考。Responsible：成为一个负责任的人，小组讨论积极参与，按照计划完成阶段性任务，发挥自己的才能，比如海报做得好，ppT做得好，录视频等。

偷懒是不能解决任何问题的，海外学习，不管是本科还是研究生，没有捷径。

三、勤加练习

当小组讨论已经明确每个人的论点，也就是确定了如何总结，如何批判与分析，即已得出清晰的大纲。接下来，我们就要进行主要内容的组织搭建。什么意思呢?就是写稿子。你的脚本可以锻炼自己的口语表达能力，时态，句型结构，词源使用等都是考察的部分。

具体的参考指南有四条：

Knowledge and understanding of concepts;

Knowledge and use of the literature;

Critical reflection on theory(and practice);

Constructing(and presenting)academic discourse.

最重要的一点是，根据练习脚本控制时间，每个人都是平均分配时长，任何一个人的表现都会影响整体的得分，即使个人的得分会根据当堂表现有差别，但整体浮动不会很大。所以，练习的时候可以删减一些句子，精炼自己的语言。

请记住，这并不是一个人的战斗，而是整组人的通力合作。

四、presentation常见问题

以下是常见的一些问题，答案并不是虚构的，而是我们老师给出的官方答案，同学们可以进行参考。

presentation

Frequently asked questions

Question 1:Can I discuss other research in my presentation?

Answer:Yes,as long as you are using it to critique/explain something in relation to your article but the focus should be on the article you are reviewing.

Question 2:Will I present to the whole class?

Answer:Yes.

Question 3:I am presenting the introduction of the article,how can I critique it?

Answer:Each group member should contribute to the content of each slide,even if they only present a particular part on the day.This means that if your group has critiqued the article in other parts of the presentation this means that you have also critiqued the article.Furthermore,it is possible to critique an introduction as we discussed in class.

Question 4:Do each of us need to speak for exactly 3 minutes?

Answer:No,this is a guide.It is up to you how you decide to present as long as each person in the group does present.For example,it is not okay for someone in your group to present for 20 seconds and the rest of the group present for 3 minutes each,but it is okay for someone to present for 2 minutes,another 2minutes 40 seconds,another for 3 minutes and 20 seconds and so on.

Question 5:There are only 3 people in my group,does that mean we should present for less than 12 minutes?

Answer:No,each group should present for a maximum of 12 minutes,regardless of how many people are in your group.

Question 6:What will happen if we go over the allocated time?

Answer:We have a strict time limit of 12 minutes per group.Going over time may be considered when marking under the'academic discourse'component of the marking scheme and may affect your mark(e.g.could represent lack of a logical and coherent framework)

Question 7:What will happen if we go under the allocated time?

Answer:This depends.If your group finishes in 11 minutes that may be okay.However,if your group finishes significantly under 12 minutes(e.g.6 minutes)then you may not have been able to fulfill all of the marking criteria.

Question 8:Will we be asked questions from the class?

Answer:Yes.Groups in the audience will be expected to ask a question for each other group.

以上是留学生如何看懂作业要求，如何完成作业，如果自己看不懂作业要求，千万不要去写作业，这样即使写作业也会出错，要知道这类的任务会占最终成绩的20-30%，对于期末成绩有一定的影响，如果想拿高分，就需要好好的准备。
