What is Evaluation?

• IE--- Individual Evaluation• LE--- Language Evaluation• GE--- General Evaluation

• IE--- Individual Evaluation

IE, Improvement and Encouragement

(by Joey Chen社長大大 )

Why We Evaluate? -pros

• Don’t need to prepared beforehand.

• It is like a combination of Prepared Speech and Table Topics.

• Organize your ideas and feedback in a short period of time.

How do you respond accurately and clearly when someone asks you ‘’what do you think?’’, for instance, during a conference?

[CC Level]Evaluator > or = Speaker

BASIC RULES

Individual evaluation is for encouraging and giving suggestions, not for criticizing!

How to do evaluation

During the Speech: Note Taking• Everyone can have their own methods • as long as it is clear enough for you to review

and organize the ideas right after the speech.• It is allowed to bring the notes on stage.

(make sure you can identify the handwriting XD)

TIME TO EVALUATE!FEW THINGS TO KNOW BEFOREHAND

• Evaluation is like a mini speech. => Opening, Body, Conclusion• Should include both good points(kiss)

and suggestions(kick)

• The ways of doing evaluation are not limited. The following content is the guidelines for you to start. Hopefully, you’ll eventually develop your own style^^

Opening Body ConclusionOf your evaluation

Opening Body ConclusionHow to start an evaluation?• Your first impression of the speech• Review a small part that touches you the most• Briefing of the content 大綱摘要 don’t make it too long!• Apply the 梗 in the speech into your evaluation

I am really touched by Joey’s story, especially the part that he struggles with his decision of future career, because it is exactly the dilemma that many of us have gone through…

• 3-4 good points, 2-3 suggestions (be aware of the time limit!)

• Listing out composition like

• *** Kiss- kick- kiss Method

Opening Body Conclusion

Opening Body ConclusionKiss Kick Kiss

What can I talk about?

Opening Body Conclusion

Speech content • Type: humorous, storytelling, educational… etc.• Is there a core value?• Structure (is it well organized?)• Other special methods (comparison, metaphor, self-

mocking… etc.)

It is a speech full of humor which makes the audience laugh successfully. What’s even better is that the listeners also learn a life lesson from it.

Opening Body Conclusion

Speech skills • Eye contact• Body language

GesturesMovementsThe usage of microphone… etc.

The speaker makes interaction with the audience by stretching out his hand for response. To make it even better, I would suggest that he walks around a little bit to avoid always facing the same audience.

Opening Body Conclusion

Vocal Variety Emotions(loud& soft) Dialogues(mimicking, storytelling)… etc.

Visual Aids Slides (ex: PowerPoint) Pictures Props… etc.

Facial Expression, confidence… and many many more.

Opening Body Conclusion

(Notice)Remember to give both good points and suggestions!!!That is, in the body part, Kiss and Kick!!

Opening Body Conclusion

• Kisssssssssssss

• Be clear and precise• Encourage the speaker• To sum up, all in all, for conclusion…etc.

Opening Body Conclusion

All in all, it’s a speech that tells us that we should not believe our intuition. Congratulations for fulfilling your C2. A hardworking person like you would certainly keep improving, and that’s not an intuition, it is a fact I know you would finally achieve.

Opening Body Conclusion

(NOTICE)HOW DO YOU GIVE SUGGESTIONS?

Avoid negative transitional words: However, but, nevertheless…

Avoid strong, emotional words: useless, bad, terrible…

Instead, you should say…Friendly suggestion with ways to improve!1. Point out the weaknesses, and give advice on

how you suggest it to be done.2. If possible, demonstrate it yourself.3. Always give reasons for the good points and

suggestions.This part is really great because… I would suggest you to change this part because…

(NOTICE)HOW TO AVOID BEING OVER TIME?

Directly go to the Kick part when you see the green board (2 minutes).
