PART ITASK 1: INDIVIDUAL VIDEO PRESENTATION (40 MARKS)

PURPOSE

The assignment aims to assess your ability and confidence in preparing and practicing effective communication skills in a professional setting.

TASK

You are an English language trainer working for a multinational company in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The company has a diverse workforce with employees from different cultural backgrounds and English is the primary language for official communication.

The HR department has identified a need for employees to improve their English communication skills in the workplace. You were tasked to conduct training to address this need and provide practical guidance for effective workplace communication in English.

The training sessions were successfully conducted for the employees at different levels and departments within the company from July – October 2023.

You are required to submit a 7 – 10-minute video presentation to report the success of the training sessions. The video will be previewed in a board meeting; therefore, your video presentation must be professional and suitable.

The following are the requirements that you need to consider in preparing the report presentation:

1. As the first step, focus on the objective (or more than one) to support the mission and vision of the company to conduct the training.
2. Plan, construct and imagine the implementation of the English Communication Training sessions. Be aware of the basic details of the training: duration, date, time, staff levels and department, objectives, skill-based activities, expenditure, and others. You must be able to link some of the details to the video report.
3. Remember to refer to Topic 3, 4, 7 and 10 of OUMH 2203 Module. You must understand the conventions of a board meeting, making presentations, using graphical presentations and the format of a report.
4. Prepare your notes and visual aids for the report. You might want to use applications to further exemplify the presentation like PowerPoint Presentation, iMovie, Funimate, Adobe and many others.
5. The graphical presentations (graphs/charts etc) must support your report and further clarify the success of the training sessions.

1. Record the 7 – 10 minutes report presentation. Marks will be deducted for speeches that do not adhere to the time duration.

1. Look confident and professional. Your background and recording details must be good too.
2. Make sure you have an introduction in the video presentation.

• The video screen must capture the top half of your body so that your hand gestures and facial expressions are visible at all times OR at least 80% of the recording duration.

1. Make sure that you greet the board and briefly introduce yourself and the report. You must exude professionalism.
2. Structure your video according to the report format.
3. Organise the content to report on the basic details of the English Communication Training sessions to the Board. The report presentation must be organised to support the success of the training sessions.

• You must provide the video with a conclusion that summarises the training objectives achieved and other training recommendations.

1. Make sure the recording content is authentic, clear and engaging. In other words, “you are the scriptwriter, the speaker and maybe even, the producer!” Thus, you need to be creative as if you are presenting in a board meeting.

2. Submit your video online according to the instructions. If your video is larger than 400MB, please refer to the guidelines on how to compress your video for submission. You may also include a link to your video as a backup in Task 2. To get this link, upload your video to YouTube or an online storage service such as GDrive or OneDrive. Make sure that your link is NOT set to private access only and that the link is accessible before you submit your assignment.
