Speaking as a Researcher: Turning Findings into Stories
July 30 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Effective academic speaking goes beyond presenting data—it’s about crafting a compelling narrative that engages your audience. This workshop introduces academic speaking as a distinct genre and showcases how to transform research findings into engaging stories in speaking situations such as a classroom presentation, conference talk, or a seminar presentation.
In this session, you will:
- analyze examples of successful academic talks,
- learn key structural elements of effective presentations,
- learn strategies for telling a compelling research story, and
- draft a framework for your upcoming talk.
