Title: PechaKucha for Presentational Skills
Body:
From http://www.anthonyteacher.com
An English teacher and blogger writes, “PechaKuchas are typically 6 minute 40 second presentations consisting of 20 slides (or images) displayed for 20 seconds each. Each slide automatically advances until the end, ensuring a presentation that is fast-paced, information dense, and has an end in sight. This model means that a number of speakers can present in a relatively short period of time.
“PechaKucha makes a great presentation tool for the English language classroom. The goal of this blog post is to detail some of these reasons and show how PechaKucha can be adapted for almost any context.”
Read the full blog post for more information about PechaKucha presentations and how they can be used in a language classroom: http://www.anthonyteacher.com/blog/the-power-of-pechakucha
