The Seminar: definition
The word seminar comes from the Latin word seminarium, which means nursery. On the other hand, the word seminarium, comes from the also Latin word semen which means seed. This might suggest that the presentation of a seminar is an occasion in which ideas could be ‘planted’ into other people’s minds or their germination could be favored. Indeed this meaning tells us a lot about the creative power of the seminar.

Dolz et al ( 2004 )
“... um gênero textual público, relativamente formal e específico, no qual o expositor especialista dirige-se a um auditório, de maneira estruturada (explicitamente), para lhe transmitir informações, descrever-lhe ou explicar alguma coisa (2004:218).”

Main objective 
 The main purpose of a seminar is to present a systematic and detailed study about a specific topic to an audience. According to Francisco Oliver (1997):
 
“... um Seminário é a reunião do professor e seus alunos com o objetivo de fazer investigações próprias sobre pontos concretos da ciência a que se dedicam. Não porque todos os que passam pelo Seminário vão ser cientistas, mas, pelo menos, o que já é muito, ficarão com espírito científico. (1997:83)”.

Elaboration steps
The preparation for a seminar presentation begins a long time before the day of the presentation itself. The seminar might be presented by a group of people or by one person only. In both situations there are advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages
The advantage of presenting a seminar individually is that you will be the only person responsible for the entire presentation and you will not have to worry about your partners’ performance

Disadvantages
The disadvantage of presenting a seminar individually is that it can be very tiring for one person to present the whole topic by him/herself

Second Meeting
Group members discuss the texts they have read over the past days and the most important parts recorded. This is a good time for members to ask for clarification of the part(s) of the text(s) they didn’t understand well.
The roles of the participants and the order of each one’s presentation are decided on this meeting 
This is also the time to prepare the written part of the seminar

Individual Work ( six steps )
do some research about the author and the topic of the main text;
look up new words in a dictionary;
locate the geographical and historical data;
find new texts that might help the understanding of parts of the main text which are not clear;
make a general scheme of the main text (make a list of the author’s main ideas)
reflect about and make comments on the most important parts.

Third Meeting
students present the result of their research to the other group members. This is a good time to help each other by making relevant comments on what to include or not to include in the presentation. If the research done by one of the members was not good enough, this is the time to help him/her improve it or tell him/her how to do it.
If everything’s fine about the content of the presentation, it’s time to decide on what resources you are going to use on the day of the seminar and who will be in charge of producing whatever materials or finding the images you need.

Last Meeting before the Presentation
This is when the group members test whatever equipment they are going to take to the presentation
All the group meetings are extremely important to avoid negative surprises on the day of the seminar presentation. Skipping meetings might cost the success of your presentation.

Individual Presentation
 If you are going to present a seminar on your own, the steps are basically the same. The only difference is that you won’t have all the group meetings and you will do all the preparation on your own. This can be a little bit tiring, but it’s also very rewarding. 
 
In case you have any questions about the content of the seminar or needs a hand with the seminar preparations, it’s a good idea to talk to someone who can assist you before the ‘big day’.

The Advantages of the Seminar
According to Veiga (1991), one of the most important advantages of the seminar is the opportunity students are given to develop themselves both academically and personally. Besides, the more seminars you present, the better you get at presenting them and become a more confident speaker.Seminários em Língua Inglesa: Estudos Linguísticos
