Steps by steps: Before the meeting:
contact speaker, ask for the speech objectives and personal objectives: what areas they would like to get feedback on; check their speaking frequency record on EasySpeak
Before meeting starts:read the project and past evaluations; confirm focus areas
During the speech:be attentive to the speaker; take notes
After the meeting: explain any specific points you could not elaborate on during the oral evaluation
Summary1. Check speech objectives, speaker’s goals & past records
2. Listen actively, with ears and eyes; show that you care
3. Personalize to the speaker, their experience & level
