Visual Aids
Visual Aids
Now let's take a look at this question: What is a visual aid? Let's look at
the meanings of the words: visual and aid.
“Visual” = something you can see
“Aid” = something helpful or useful
So, according to Cambridge Dictionary, visual aid in presentation is
something you can see, like a photo, chart, video, GIF, etc, that makes
your presentation easier to understand and remember information.
Let’s begin with an example:
I'm going to share the first body paragraph of my presentation without
visual aids.
Now I would like to tell you about some advantages I have found
when choosing to major in English language.
Firstly, Studying English can help to get better job opportunities.
English is the language of science, computers, diplomacy, and
tourism. Knowing English increases your chances of getting a good
job in a multinational company within your home country or of
finding work abroad.
Secondly, Traveling and meeting new people is a lot easier with
a good knowledge of English because English is the official
language of 53 countries. This means that whether you’re working
in Beijing, or traveling in Brazil, studying English can help you to
have a conversation with people from all over the world.
Ok. what do you think? Now let's watch the same paragraph but this
time with visual aids
So do you think example 1 or example 2 is better ? Do you think VA
made my presentation easier to understand?
Moving on to the next part, Ánh will introduce you to some types of VA.
Ánh, the floor is yours.
