Abstract

Having a presentation always creates tension among presenters. This study aims at furnishing students with the strategies that both minimize stage fright, and prepare manuscripts with organized content for their speech. As for the strategies, the study suggests ice-breaker mini-presentations throughout the semester in order to encourage the learners to familiarize themselves with speech making before audience. In addition, it leads the participants to follow pre-planned and organized steps prior to the speech. It is observed that following these steps they are more likely to overcome their stage fright as well as to deliver a more organized speech. (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
