2. Possible suggestions toward group presentation to improve its implementation

From the open-ended research result, it can be drawn that participants’ suggestions are similar to the good oral presentation theory stated by Cassie and Constantine 1977. There are four parts of good oral presentation, namely preparation, beginning, body, and peroration. In presentation, preparation can be the essential thing before doing presentation. The steps in preparing the presentation include completing the material needed. Moreover, some related references can help both presenter and audience in understanding the material.

Also, the presenter should make the presentation more fun and interesting. Cassie and Constantine 1977 state that the beginning may take in forms of illustration, question or statement which relates to the main topic subject matter. It will gain audiences’ attention. Body step, stated by Cassie and Constantine 1977, explains that interactive media is important to maintain the interest of audience. It will help the audience to understand the material presented well. Then, the peroration step, which is not mentioned by all the participants, can be good suggestion to improve good presentation’s implementation. The following chapter provides the conclusions of the research. It includes some important points of the research. Some suggestions will be presented in the following chapter, too. 56
