In my class today, I ask my students to record their 2 minutes speech about themselves. This is to prepare them for Assessment 1A on Speech Presentation. I told them that they need to pay attention to the effectiveness in giving the speech (can your coursemate understand you?), language that they use (are you using accurate and fluent language?), speech development (strategise your introduction, body and conclusion), physical & delivery and finally voice intonation. I can see that they are working hard on it!
Told them that the WORLD will be looking at them once the speech is published in this blog.. The night before this activity, I 'sms'ed them that they need to bring their handphones (of course with video recorder installed in it) and cables (so that they can upload it in the lab). So class, how do you like this activity? Is it challenging?

Askum Madam Zuraina...
This activity has clearly shown particularly me on how to expose myself. From asking a friend to record our speech, it also tolerates our trust to our friends. It also breaks down our nervous system( is this the approriate word?). In overall saying, it's a good way of tackling our presentation skills and use the advantage of technology in the same time...

Oh my god!!!
My heart stop beating and my body shivering like after i have taking drugs(SAY NO TO DRUGS!!)
The main point i would like to tell that i scared to be in front of the audience.My self-confident very poor and i need some motivation or activity that can build up my confident(like this activity since i hate to do so)
Although this activity quite scary, but its enjoy because we have to record our individual speech which has given a simple task to talk about "Myself".
Then we have to upload our speech to the web like our lecturer has told in her blogs..
Lastly,this activity is quite challenging for the people that hated to perfome in front of the audience..
would u like to take a try???
Then send your video to youtube...Ahaks!!!
I am stuck! It is a bit hard for me to deliver a speech althougt it is only for two minutes.But it is something that I have learnt today and it works on build my self-confidence.I believe that to give a speech is not on how much your natural talent but it is about PRACTISE!! So the main point is to practise and always practise. Now I realise that i must practise on how to give an effective speech.
As far as this activity is concerned, honestly i can say that it is works and enjoyable.I am so excited to record my speech and to know that all over the world can watch me althought it is quite scary and embarressing actually. I enjoy this activity.

Hi and good morning, madam Zuraina...
I'm Aliaa....
your student class...
I like to say that,this the first assigment that is quite hard and challenging to me...
but it give me improvement to my speech to be more confidence to the audience...
actually, i'm not really good in public speaking with my broken english and also a lot of grammar mistake...
but i'm try and practice slowly to be the good public speaking with not have grammar error, soon...
that's all...
Asalamualaikum Madam Zuaraina...
Firstly i want to apologise because my english is not well..
Ok...
About this activities i think i can build my self confidence to the audience because i never do a speech infront of people in english before this and im a nervous person...
This subject is very chanlengging for me.. Because it is a lot of public speaking.. Im not hate public speaking but i not do well it.. But, i will push my self to learn more about it to become a better presenter..
JUST DO IT...
hye!!
what can say about todays class.. it was very interesting, the task by miss zuraina which is to record our speech within 2 minutes is quite a challenge. what i would like to say is that by doing this, its help to build our self confident, to those who have a stage fright and never ever speaks in public this is one of the best way to practise ourself. moreover, this challenge can also helps to improve our english. what i can say is that this really help us on our presentation skill. if before this, to us a public speaking is just a speech that are dilevered by one person to a public in a ceremony in such a boring way, now we had learn that there are lots of way on how to dilevered a public speking in interesting way so that we can capture the audience attention. thank you..
Hello!
Well, i think it is interesting and definetely challenging especially when you said the whole world will be looking at us... I'm not good at speech presentation or public speaking... So, this tasks will help me to enhance my presentation skills... Last week, i have a presentation on introduction to industrial chemistry... I was shaking and nervous, i can't barely talk very well... In the end, the whole class were laughing at me and it is embarassing... That is why i hate public speaking... But i really really want to be a great speaker,just like my father because i think it is a good asset if somebody can speak english fluently in public... Overall, i think today's class will give benefits to us in the future and help motivate ourselves to become a better person as well as better speakers... That's all...
hi.. i would sat this activity is quite interesting bacause i have to record record my self giving a speeh.. (it is funny when i saw my action giving speech on camera..giving a speech about MYSELF in 2 minutes actually is not enough.. but when i know that the WORLD can watch me, i feel like 2 minutes is too long and i'm lacking of idea on what i'm going to say... this activity is quite challeging although the topic given is MYSELF.. i hope i can do my best..
very hard for me to do it.because i talk too fast every time the video is recoded.i'll try my best to do it ever 2 minutes. by
nesh
speech..
when i get the text the day night before tthe class i was actually a bit suprised and before this my public speaking was really bad..
since we have to record ourself for 2 minutes i think i will do my best..because after i record it i will know wether my speech is good or not and i can start to do it over again..at the same time it will help me to give the better speech than before so i guess i will do my best and achieve madam zuraina's target..
Hello,
First of all I would like thank Madam Zuraina on her creative idea to do this activity in the class where we are suppose to record our 2 minutes speech about ourselves and than to post it online. This activity has seriously given me the chance to express and learn to talk in proper as well as a better organised language because the recording would be published in the blog and could be seen by anyone.
Initially, I felt the activity was rather challenging for it is hard to maintain ur body language at the same time the flair of the language when you are facing a camera. However, this activity has given me a good start on how should a speech be done by maintaining the fluency of the language English.Thank you again!

speech presentation?...
I'm a little bit surprise because I'm not prepared yet although I already know about this..I'm very shy to talk in front of people that I'm not really close with them..that is my big problem..I will lose my self confident and cannot think wisely...I will blur although it's only takes two minutes...but, for this task. I will do my best because everybody will look at me when my speech is published in the blog...I don't want them to laugh at me...It's quite funny for me after I saw my video recorder..hahaha...so, I think it's quite challenging task for me..
Hello,
First of all, I would like to say that the activity was a really creative and challenging one. My initial reaction when i heard about the activity was a mixture of every feeling imaginable!But I manage to feel more at ease when I started recording the video. So I did grow to like the idea anyway. Recording my own speech really opened my eyes to the common errors in presentation that I normally make! It helped me to improve in my effort to perfect my presentation skills! In addition, it really trained me to arrange my thoughts in a smooth flow when i speak! Hopefully, I will be able to receive positive comments about my video once it has been posted.
It is really hard for me to complete this task even the speech is talking all about myself. For me, it is just same as the public speaking that I fear to do. I try so hard to finish this speech presentation. I have attempt so many times and finally choose one the speech I have done. However, it is still not the speech I satisfied. Anyway, I hope my speech can be accepted. Thank you!
hye!!
video clipping ourselves on our own speech..
hurm, what an effective way to improve our english, not just it will improve our vocabulary but most of all it can raise up our confident level..
thank you..
i think i still need to brush up my presentation a lot more because i think i'm not doing that good enough in my presentation about me.i'm too nervous and lost my words.i will try my best for another presentation and present it with lot more confident than before.
