Presentation requirements

• Topic: Students can choose a topic of their interest to present. It can be an informative presentation, a community project summary presentation, or a teaching-style presentation (E.g.: tips to study effectively)

• Must-have content: At the beginning of the presentation, students must include the following items in their speech:

  • Introduction: Name, grade, why you join the program, who is your mentor.

  • What have you improved the most from the past 10 weeks?

  • How effective did you carry out your 10-week plan? Are there any areas that you would like to change if you can do it all over again?

  • What is your plan for studying English after the program?

• Length: The length of the presentation is about 4-5 minutes. Students can choose to use visual aids (for example picture slides, videos, PowerPoint) to support their presentation. There will be a 5-minute Q&A after. Students are encouraged to practice speaking rather than reading off from written notes.

• Audience: The audience would be the mentor themselves, and a few other mentors from AASuccess. We will also have some US AASuccess students join the presentation as well.
