Lisa and I have decided to
give a presentation on the trilingual education system in Luxembourg. Frank and
Hendrik suggested contacting Selma, a student from Luxembourg who is studying
at the Department of Theoretical and Applied Translation Studies. We wrote her
a mail and she was immediately ready to help us with our presentation. Selma
turned out to be a very helpful person who gave us useful advice on our
presentation.
The most strenuous part was definitely
preparing and recording the transcript. Unfortunately, Lisa and I hadn’t seen
us during the weekend before the deadline and so we had to spend a looong
evening at the ITAT splitting up our text into a dialogue. Therefore, it wasn’t
surprising that we talked in a monotonous tone – but we weren’t bored, just very
tired.
I have to admit that I wasn’t keen
on giving our presentation in the form of Pecha Kucha. I was horrified by the
fact that a slide will be shown for 20 seconds and then the next slide will
appear. This required a lot preparation and I felt impelled to learn my text by
heart. However, in the end everything went fine and PK turned out to be not as
bad as I imagined it. I don’t want to say that I enjoyed giving the
presentation, but the meticulous planning of every detail was worth it and we received
a very positive feedback:
“Interesting
and well-structured”
"The
time management was great, it was loud enough and good to understand
I
liked the language examples :)"
