Why is it important to follow all the stages of a presentation? 
 
 
it´s ok to have only meeting before the presentation, there usually isn¿t much to do. 
 
it can be very tiring for one person to present the whole topic by him/herself. 
 to avoid the risk of not knowing what to do next during the seminar. 
 
as long as each person knows what his/her responsibilities are, it´s ok not to have 
meetings. 
 there´s going to be a lot of exchange between all the group members and it might lead 
you to think about things you might not have thought

One of the most important advantages of the seminar is:

hand with the seminar preparations, it¿s a good idea to talk to someone who 
can assist you before the bigday¿. 
 
Whether you are giving a presentation individually or in a group, the stages 
to be followed are the same. 
 
If you are going to present a seminar on your own, the steps are basically 
the same. 
 the opportunity students are given to develop themselves both academically 
and personally. 
 
it can be very tiring for one person to present the whole topic by him/herself.

endeavor to advance technical-theoretical knowledge. This distinction, then, encapsulates the 
divide that often exists between the two. (ELLIS, 1998:39)

In order to adapt themselves and their practice to the needs of a changing society and to

READ the text below: 
The aim of professional people who take their profession seriously is invariably to progressively 
improve their practice. It is not different for language teachers. However, this improvement can 
only be achieved if teachers are willing to change their attitudes and behavior. In this case, one 
strategy these professionals can use in order to achieve this end is to carry out a type 
of research that is basically a way of reflecting on one´s teaching and changing future 
practice.
