		<description><![CDATA[I’m going to start this post with an exercise I sometimes do with my students. 
Ever tried to get someone to ‘hear’ a tune by humming it? This almost always works okay because there’s enough information about he tune, rhythm, and pitch. However, if you try tapping out the beat with a pencil, its another [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Can you pretend to be enthusiastic?
A recent technical presentation training session with a group of university students recently made me realize the gap between the theory I teach and getting students to demonstrate it. We always tell people is to ‘be enthusiastic’ and ‘relate to your audience’, but getting someone to do that is extremely [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a follow up to the presentation training at Hokkaido University, I thought I’d mention what a vibrant international place it is. Many people’s first association with the Hokkaido is great food (Genghis Khan barbecue, fish, dairy), the Yuki Matsuri snow festival, and perhaps Ashikawa Zoo, but the international side to the university surprised me.

		<description><![CDATA[これは弊社のブログに載せる最初の日本語の記事です！
私がインストラクターをさせていただいた北海道大学のプレゼンテーションコースに参加された川崎さんのインタビューです。川崎さんは北大の大院生で、プレゼンコースを一生懸命頑張りました。彼のクラスを担当することができたことも、今回のブログのためにインタビューすることができたのも、私にとってとてもいい勉強になりました。
ルイス：英語を話したり、プレゼンテーションをする機会はありますか？
川崎　この夏にアメリカの大学に行くことになっています。そのために、英語に興味があるので、このコースに参加しました。
ルイス：アメリカのどこですか？
川崎：    Rice大学にいます。
ルイス; 頑張ってください！さて、このコースで、一番役に立つことは何ですか。
川崎：プレゼンテーションを行う上で、やっぱり、日本語の場合と英語でやる場合、その態度や、やりかたなど、大きく違う点を学べたことは大きいですね。
ルイス：たとえば、どんなことですか？
川崎：例えば、最初に挨拶をするときに、そのスライドの最初に書かれている名前やタイトルを指しながら、読む必要はないとか。
ルイス：ビデオ撮影については、どう思いますか？
川崎：　客観的に自分のプレゼンテーションを見ることは、すごい重要なことだと思います。　最近、携帯で内容を録音して、後で聞きましたが、すごい、ためになると思います。
ルイス：他の学生さんに、何かアドバイスがありますか？
川崎：そうですね。　プレゼンテーションは、慣れが重要ですから、英語のプレゼンテーションはぜひやってほしいと思います。

		<description><![CDATA[
Exhibitionists, performance artists, and newscasters aside, most people feel some embarrassment at watching themselves on video. A few months ago Arnold helped me prepare for a Toastmasters speech contest by videoing my speech and then analyzing it with me, and I spent most of the time cringing in embarrassment. It was painfully hard to watch [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[プレゼンテーション資料･スピーチを外国語で準備する際のヒント７つ
Many people, including myself, feel very self-conscious when they speak another language. While you cannot get rid of this anxiety, you can learn how to handle it through effective practice.
1.	Know how quickly you speak.
2.	Plan points where the pressure is off you and on the audience.
3.	Use simple, everyday words whenever possible.
4.	Practice with someone.
5.	Practice all the way [...]]]></description>
