Speaking: Public Speaking & Presentations B2 - Lesson 4: Using Signposting Language Effectively

Public Speaking B2

signpost

Signposting

ពាក្យប្រាប់ទិសដៅក្នុងបទបង្ហាញ

Signposting language acts like road signs. It guides your audience through the structure of your presentation so they never get lost!

ពាក្យតភ្ជាប់ក្នុងបទបង្ហាញ ប្រៀបដូចជាផ្លាកសញ្ញាប្រាប់ផ្លូវ។ វាជួយដឹកនាំអ្នកស្តាប់ឱ្យយល់ពីលំហូរនៃសាច់រឿងដោយមិនវង្វេង។

Directing focus Let's turn our attention to... សូមបង្វែរចំណាប់អារម្មណ៍របស់យើងទៅកាន់...

Closing one, opening another Now that we've covered X, let's look at Y. ដោយសារយើងបានគ្របដណ្តប់លើចំណុច X រួចហើយ តោះយើងទៅមើលចំណុច Y ម្តង។

error The "Next" Trap!

Don't sound like a broken record!

(កុំប្រើពាក្យ "Next" ដដែលៗរហូតក្នុងការផ្លាស់ប្តូរចំណុច! វាធ្វើឲ្យអ្នកស្តាប់ធុញទ្រាន់ និងមើលទៅមិនមានវិជ្ជាជីវៈ។)

"Next... Next... Next..."

Boring and repetitive. ❌

"Moving on to..." / "Let's turn to..."

Professional and engaging. ✅

Starting Out

Which phrase is best to start your presentation?

(តើឃ្លាមួយណាដែលល្អបំផុតសម្រាប់ចាប់ផ្តើមបទបង្ហាញ?)

Changing Topics

You finished talking about sales and want to talk about marketing. You say:

(អ្នកនិយាយពីការលក់ចប់ហើយ ចង់ប្តូរទៅនិយាយពីទីផ្សារវិញ។ អ្នកប្រើឃ្លាថា:)

Meaning Check

What does "To sum up" mean?

(តើ "To sum up" មានន័យដូចម្តេច?)

error TRICKY QUESTION!

True or False: Saying "Next" to change every slide is good professional practice.

(ពិត ឬមិនពិត: ការប្រើពាក្យ "Next" រាល់ពេលប្តូរស្លាយ គឺជាការអនុវត្តដ៏ល្អប្រកបដោយវិជ្ជាជីវៈ។)

Teacher, can I use "Finally" in the middle of my speech to show the last point?

Hi Sovan! Yes, you can use "Finally" to introduce your very last main point. However, it signals to the audience that you are wrapping up. Do not use it if you still have 10 more minutes to talk! timer

Is the word "Next" really that bad?

Sopheak Pich Teacher 4 hours ago

It's not "bad," but if you use it 10 times in a row ("Next... Next... Next..."), it sounds very robotic and boring. Using phrases like "Moving on to..." or "Let's turn our attention to..." makes you sound professional and keeps the audience awake! wb_incandescent

How do I point to a picture on my slide? Do I just say "Look here"?

Sopheak Pich Teacher 7 hours ago

"Look here" is a bit informal. At a B2 level, try saying: "As you can see on this slide..." or "If you look at this chart/picture..." It sounds much smoother! image
