oral presentations
Talks before audiences
Oral presentations are spoken reports or speeches delivered to an audience, typically in academic or professional settings.
The term emphasizes the live, verbal component as distinct from written submissions: The course grade includes two oral presentations and a final paper.
Students practice oral presentations to develop public speaking skills; professionals give them at conferences and meetings.
