The slide design presented here is taught onengineering and science courses
Can also be used in the foreign langaugeclassroom
This presentation introduces an effective slide design for better foreign language communication
Reasons for using the slide design
A description of the slide design
Results of using the slide design
The slide design consists of an assertion headline of no more than two lines

Foreign language teaching is less effective when taught in isolation from the degree programme

Presentations
Too long between learning and using
Black Hole
Results always poor no matter how good the language skills
Teaching presentation skills without teaching slide design is a black hole in language teaching
=
The default layouts offered by PowerPoint are not suitable for professional presentations
Phrase headingNon-descriptive
Bullet pointsNon-hierarchal
BackgroundNoisy
Students must be taught how to design slides
Monotonous
When creating presentation slides, four goals should be set
Converting an analog signal to a digital signal requires a sampling of the signal
Accelerometer outputs an analog voltage
Hardware converts analog signal to digital
Computer samples a number of points
Data is exported to popular applications
Excel
The design should helpthe audience during thepresentation
The design should serveas notes after the presentation

The design should helpthe audience remember the presentation
The design should helpcolleagues give the same presentation

The slide design arises from principles of rhetoric, cognitive psychology, and human factors science

Recall/recognition is enhanced by presenting information in both visual and verbal form. (http://tip.psychology.org/paivio.html)
Repetition of themessage in differentways
The slide design is non-language specific
Allows knowledge learned on one course to be used on another (knowledge transfer)
Communicatingacross the curriculum
Vaihteen tehtävä on alentaa potkurin pyörimisnopeutta
Kampiakselilta saatu teho tulee siirtää potkurin akselille
Pyörimisnopeutta tulee alentaa suhteessa 2,43:1 potkurin lavankärkien nopeuden vuoksi (oltava alle äänennopeuden)

Foreign language teaching is more effective when it is an integral part of the degree programme
Leads to graduates with better communication skills

The slide design has greatly improved the quality of the presentations given on English courses
Black Hole

After
Students produce betterpresentations
Students use the design in other subjects
”Since learning Peter’s methods, the communication Skills of our undergraduate engineers and the whole department have improved dramatically”

Faculty report an improvement in presentation skills on their courses

”In engineering education too little empasisis is put on presentation skills. Thankfully, Peter Heath’s methodshave helped our students become much better presenters. Because of the professional training students now receive, the quality of student presentations on our faculty courses has made a great difference to the overall quality of the learningenvironment. ”

Faculty report an improvement in presentation skills on their courses
“I have noticed a clear improvement in the way computer sciencestudents present things. Project presentations and thesis seminarshave improved greatly. When I asked students the reasons for this improvement, the answer was Peter. He has demanded that students put more effort into their presentations by showing and teachinghow good a PowerPoint presentation can be.
Kiitos Peter”

In summary, the slide design can be an important tool in the language classroom
It is more effectivethan PowerPointdefaults
It is non-language specific
It meets the goalsof slide design
Students graduate as better communicators

Questions?
Although researchers give validation more attention, validation requires successful verification
Validation
Is the PDE model appropriate?
Do we solve the right equations?
Verification
Are the numerical models correctly implemented?
Do we solve the right equations?
