English Public Speaking Skills | How to Speak So Your Audience Listens

English public speaking skills include giving a presentation to an audience of 500 and sharing your idea with 4 coworkers. In both situations, you want to know that your audience is engaged. They are listening. And they are eager to hear what you have to say.
The key? Speak so your audience listens.
If you've prepared a presentation in English and if you felt stressed about using high-level vocabulary or complicated grammar structures, I want to remove that worry.
The truth is, you do not need a highly advanced vocabulary or years of English public speaking experience to give a meaningful presentation.
In this Confident English lesson, you will learn 3 insider tips on how to improve your English public speaking skills so you speak with confidence and are sure to engage your audience. And they just might surprise you, especially number 2.
With each tip, I’ll demonstrate how you can apply the recommendation so you can level up your English public speaking skills and feel confident when you give presentations in English - whether you're speaking to a large audience or a small group of coworkers.

    Great advices! I feel the most challenging part for me is not only the public speaking skills, but also English itself. I can prepare a speech in advance but I am always worried about what if someone asked an unexpected question. Even if I could figure out how to answer the question per se, I probably couldn’t find the right sentences and words to express myself. For that reason, sometimes I rush my speech on purpose so that the audiences don’t have time to think and ask😂

    My advice would be decide which points have more importance for you. Try to put across your arguments but at the same time show flexibility and maybe eagerness to find out in which way your interlocutors differentiate to you. In the end try to make an effort that the audience retain the main points of your presentation and what is its driving force. If you are a bit of a joker try to spice up your lecture with jokes and comic gestures that can put at ease your audience and make it more prone to pay attention.

    Hello teacher. Thank you for the lesson. Great as usual! Of the most challenges I face when making a presentation is to know how to balance between the time given and the content of the presentation, and when a discussion takes place between the audience during the presentation (which consumes the time of the presentation) and I don't how to stop it and continue with my presentation. Thank you.

    Thank you! I'm glad this was helpful. And thank you for also sharing some of the key challenges. I will certainly consider sharing how to address these challenges in future lessons. In the meantime, using Tip 1 from this lesson (know your audience) can help limit the content. As for conversation during the presentation, I would recommend letting your audience know there will be a discussion at the end rather than inviting discussion during the presentation if that is possible for your situation.

    Dear Anne Amarie, wonderful video, as always, we can grow professionally based on your hints. I usually try to "break the ice" before start a presentation, I mean, I often bring to the table the difficulties, the odd of the situation and so on, of course, it depends on the context, but I found the better presentation begins if the presenter and audience are connected in some way

    Thank you for your kind answer. If the presentation is informal, I try some kind of joke about recent news (avoiding politics, religion, or any potential offensive issue). If the presentation is formal and the audience is unknown I try some common places like the so cold day or such a nice city where the event takes place or the exciting themes shall addressed in the conference@@Speakconfidentenglish

    Interesting question. We certainly can if we are familiar with the particular idiom/phrasal verb/slang. Or if we understand the context in which it is used. However, there are certainly instances when we are not able to understand. In fact, there are regions within the United States that might have common idioms I am unfamiliar with and might not understand right away. This is true for slang as well.

    As a suggestion, I would like to mention in public speaking don't do anything spontaneously and without any plan. It's risky and can ruin your presentation and distract you easily. For example, sometimes you try to be funny but, your words could be offensive.
