You must contact Piers Wall, at
pwall@glos.ac.uk, by Friday 20 June, to
arrange a time and place for the
Presentation. The Presentation will take
place during the weeks commencing 30
June or 7 July 2008. If you do not arrange
a time and place, or if you do not attend
the test, you will receive a mark of 0F.
You have been asked to give a presentation to a group of students from different
countries about a successful company’s website.
The aim of the presentation is to show your ability to summarize and give a personal
interpretation of facts gathered from the Internet. The presentation should last no
more than 8 - 10 minutes per person and should be supported by visual aids such as
photographs, pictures, or OHTs where appropriate.
You need to refer to the following:

Short background of the company

What can be found on the website

How interesting or useful are the different sections?

How easy is it to navigate the website?

What you can buy on-line?

Your suggestions for improving the website
Your presentation should include an introduction and conclusion as well as reference to the
above sections. However, you can re-order and group the sections as you wish, providing
you create a logically flowing presentation
The assessment criteria are attached to this sheet.
Criteria include:
 Realisation of the task (e.g. Have you covered all the areas?)
 Presentation and layout (e.g. introduction, conclusion, visual materials etc.)
 Content (e.g. Are your ideas relevant to the question?)
 Organisation of ideas (e.g. Are your ideas grouped logically? Have use made
appropriate notes on prompt cards?)
 Vocabulary (Do you use words and phrases which are suitable for the task and
audience?)
 Grammatical and structural accuracy (e.g. Are your sentences grammatically
correct? How complex are the structures you are using?)
 Use of linking words expressions and cohesive devices (e.g. Do you link your
ideas with appropriate expressions and reference words? Do you signal the different
stages of the presentation?)
 Pronunciation (e.g. Are you speaking clearly, pronouncing words correctly using
intonation and stress to help your listeners understand?)
 Fluency (e.g. can you use your own words to speak naturally?)
