PART I
TASK 1: INDIVIDUAL SPEECH PRESENTATION (40%)

PURPOSE
The purpose of the assignment is for students to demonstrate their ability and confidence in
preparing and practising effective communication skills in any setting.

TASK REQUIREMENTS
This assignment aims to assist students in delivering confidently an informative speech
through a recording. Delivering an effective speech is a skill that needs to be developed,
especially for those with job tasks involving speech, such as teachers, salespersons, lawyers,
and many others. Thus, it is important to research a good topic that can attract your target
audience.

With reference to the OUMH1303 Module (pp 177-182), choose ONE (1) purpose from the
following:
a. To describe
b. To demonstrate
and present a recorded informative speech on the topic: LIFE SKILLS

Task specifications in preparing your recorded speech:

a. Start by brainstorming the topic: LIFE SKILLS and find a smaller or more focused
aspect/subtopic to start planning your speech text. You MUST discuss your speech
title with your e-tutor in the e-forum or during the e-tutorial sessions. Find a title
that you are comfortable with in delivering the speech. E.g.: A descriptive speech:
“The POWER of Time Management ” OR a demonstrative speech: “Hack your
wardrobe for new fashion”.

2/13
b. Plan and write your speech text in short notes or the complete text. Your
introduction should state your name, ID, Course, and the purpose of the speech with
the title.
c. You can refer to various resources or use your personal observations, experience,
and knowledge for writing the content, but make sure that the content of the speech
is appropriate to your targeted audience.
d. You will need to decide: the producer, your targeted audience, the surroundings
(background, lighting, soundproof area), and other aspects to consider even though
you are not going to mention them verbally in the presentation.
e. Plan visual aids. You are encouraged to use creativity and innovation in producing
the video by catering to both the brain’s visual and auditory systems, body language,
facial expressions, imagery and music, etc. You can use applications to further
exemplify the speech text like PowerPoint Presentation, Canva, iMovie, Funimate,
Google Slides and many others. However, remember that this video is a speech
presentation NOT a video presentation.
f. Record your speech between 7 to 10 minutes. Marks will be deducted either for a
duration of less than 7 minutes or more than 10 minutes. Adhere to the following:
i. Look professional and deliver confidently
ii. Ensure that your speech has an introduction
iii. The purpose of the speech must either be to DESCRIBE or to DEMONSTRATE.
iv. The video screen must capture the top half of your body so that your hand
gestures and facial expressions are visible at all times OR at least 80% of the
recording duration.
v. Your speech must be engaging and interesting.
vi. You must offer an ending (conclusion) in the video.
g. Ensure the recording of your speech is authentic, clear and organised. Remember,
“you are the scriptwriter, the speaker and maybe even, the producer!”. Your aim is
to deliver a speech that is engaging and interesting to your audience.
h. Submit your video online according to the instructions. If your video is larger than
400MB, please refer to the guidelines on how to compress your video for
submission. You may also include a link to your video as a backup in Task 2. To get
this link, upload your video to YouTube or an online storage service such as GDrive or

3/13
 OneDrive. Make sure that your link is NOT set to private access only and that the link
is accessible before you submit your assignment.

i. Your speech will be assessed through 6 criteria:

1. Speech content
2. Presentation of speaker
3. Originality and creativity of ideas,
4. Video recording organisation,
5. Overall and clarity of the video; and
6. Use of language

NOTE:
 This is an individual task. The aim is to deliver a speech confidently and naturally,
and NOT to make a creative video for social media platforms.
 Refer to the assignment rubrics as a guide to achieving cohesion and coherence.
 Remember to refer to Topics 8, 9 and 10 of OUMH 1303 Module

TASK 2: REFLECTIVE REPORT (20%)

PURPOSE
The purpose of Task 2 is for students to demonstrate their effective verbal and non-verbal
language in expressing formal and informal communication

TASK REQUIREMENTS

IMPORTANT: This task is a continuation of your recorded presentation of Task 1: Instructional

or Reporting speech on the topic: LIFE SKILLS.

Write a critical reflection on the process of carrying out the speech presentation. The
structure of this report follows the basic essay structure of introduction, body and concluding
paragraphs.

Your Reflective Report MUST include the following FIVE criteria and each criterion should be
written in paragraphs between 300 and 350 words:

i) Reflection on the PROCESS; the planning stage of the video, during the recording
of the video and after the video has been recorded. Describe the timeline of
completing the task and the preparation of visual aids. How long did you plan and
record etc? How important are creativity and innovation in this task? Why do you
say so?
ii) Reflection on the CONTENT (the topic/ issue) and rationalise how things could
have been done in a better way. Is this topic/ issue familiar to you or vice versa?
Why did you choose this topic, any significance to you? During the process of the
video, there might be some instances where you realised your idea could have
been improved in another way. Describe this situation too.
iii) Reflection on the CHALLENGES that you faced in this assignment. How did you
overcome your shyness/ lack of confidence in delivering the speech? Did you face
any issues with the recording and editing? Share your challenges on the language
process too – vocabulary and grammar in writing and delivering the speech.
Describe well.
iv) Show the video to ONE PERSON and inquire if the speech supports its purpose. If
he/she believes the video is neither, ask for other suggestions that might help

8/13
 improve the speech or the speaker. Share this person’s thoughts on the strengths
and weaknesses of your video and compare them with your own beliefs.
v) Your PERSONAL THOUGHTS about completing this assignment (the video
presentation and Reflective Report). How do you feel about it? Describe too, what
are the advantages/disadvantages of this assignment. If you feel the video
recording and or Reflective Report is/are not advisable, what would be a better
alternative? Explain your rationale.

REMINDERS:

i. A Reflective Report is writing to evaluate, summarise, analyse, and reflect on an

individual’s journey of a/some particular actions. It is almost similar to journal
writing.
ii. Plagiarism is a serious offence. Avoid using or claiming other people’s writing in
this assignment.
iii. Refer to the assignment rubrics as a guide to achieving cohesion and coherence.
