Speaking Feedback Date : June 5th, 2016 Speaker: Jin Namkoong Evaluator: Sohee Lee Title : It’s All About Bear
1. What strong points does the speaker have? He had a nice opening, which was his experience of drinking beer for the first time. It was good enough to grasp the audience’s attention. It also explained why he chose ‘beer’ for his topic. His speech was also well structured, which made me easy to follow. His use of visual aids was good enough to grasp the audience’s attention as well.
2. How well did the audience get to know the speech subject? Being a layperson of beer, every beer looked similar to me before listening this speech. However, his explanation was brief and easy to comprehend. In addition, visual aids used in the presentation helped me understand better. After listening to his speech, I got more interested in beer and was able to know different types of beer such as Ale, Lager, Stout, and Wheat Beer.
3. Did the speech reflect adequate preparation? It seemed that he had enough preparation. He prepared a lot of pictures in his PowerPoint to help the audience’s understanding. He also showed fair eye contact.
4. Did the speaker talk clearly and audibly? He spoke clearly and audibly. The pace of his speech was also adequate enough, making it easy to follow. He also made appropriate pauses and stressed certain words.
5. Did the speech have a definite opening, body, and conclusion? He had a definite opening, body, and conclusion. He started his speech by sharing his experience of drinking beer for the first time. He spoke about how he got interested in beer and realized how delicious beer can be. Then he moved on to introduce the sequence of his speech. In the body part, he explained about a brief history of beer, fermenting process of beer, and some parts of gigantic range of varieties of beer. After explaining them in order, he ended speech by suggesting the best type of beer.
6. Please comment on the speaker’s use of notes/eye contact. He made fair eye contact while delivering his speech.
7. What could the speaker have done differently that would have improved the speech? It would have been better if he had made more body gestures while delivering his speech. It will complement his ideas and make him look more enthusiastic about his topic.
8. What did you like about the presentation? I liked the overall structure of his speech. His speech was well organized and was fairly easy to follow. The language he used was clear and simple and I was able to easily identify the main points of the speech. Visual aids he used in his speech was good enough to grasp my attention and help me understand the topic better. I also liked how he ended his speech as well. He ended by saying that the best type of beer is a cool, crisp sip of foamy beer when you are burned out from your daily life.

1. What strong points does the speaker have? Your visual was really adequate for your topic. Its design went well with the topic of your speech. Nice choice of various interesting photographs, a great font with proper color, and a perfect layout.
2. How well did the audience get to know the speech subject? I had only superficial knowledge about the beer, although I drink it frequently. Different kinds of beers classified by various brands and processes were interesting. Now I know the difference between larger and ale!
3. Did the speech reflect adequate preparation? Your speech was well prepared. You almost never made mistake during the speech. It must have required a lot of time to prepare.
4. Did the speaker talk clearly and audibly? Yes. Your pronunciation was clear to understand. And recording was also done properly to be audible.
5. Did the speech have a definite opening, body, and conclusion? You organized your speech well. Introduction, body, and conclusion were all placed at the right positions. And you made clear why you choose this topic at the beginning. Plus, switches between the opening, body, and conclusion were smooth.
6. Please comment on the speaker's use of notes/eye contact. You made eye contact quite often and I think it was great. However, you made eye contact with the camera, not with the audience. It may be your intention to look at the camera for the audience who watch your speech through computer screen, but I think the presence of the audience has its own purpose.
7. What could the speaker have done differently that would have improved the speech? As I mentioned earlier, more eye contact with the audience would be better. Also, your body gesture was rather limited. More eye contacts with the audience and more dynamic body language will make your speech perfect, I think.
8. What did you like about the presentation? I think your topic has a power to make the audience engaged in the speech because most of the audience are somehow related to beer in one way or another. Also, your visuals were adequate for the purpose of introducing interesting facts about beer. Its design and layout go really well with the subject. Especially, I like its retro-style. Thank you for useful informative presentation!
