TASK INSTRUCTIONS: Explaining Technical Tools in Real Contexts

INSTRUCTIONS

You will work in groups of three.

1. Visual presentation.  Create a visual presentation (Genially/Canva) including:

• key technical vocabulary or ideas (no full sentences)
• your own images or clearly contextualised images

2. Oral presentation. Deliver an oral presentation in English where you:

• explain the tool (use, function, advantages, why you chose it, etc.)
• describe a specific real or simulated situation in Galicia where it is used
  (e.g. type of company, installation, environment, or professional context)
• explain a concrete technical problem and how the tool helps to solve it

To go beyond description, you are encouraged to:

• give your personal opinion about the tool
• what you like
• what you don’t like
• suggest possible improvements and explain your reasoning
• comment on limitations or difficulties when using it
• briefly compare it with a similar tool (if possible)

Try to include your own evaluation, not only description.

3. Evidence of your work process. You must produce and submit the following:

• Technical glossary (draft + final version)
• include the terms you selected
• explain why you chose them
• show how your glossary improved
• Presentation script or outline (draft is acceptable)
• Recorded rehearsal
• Work distribution
• briefly explain how you organised the work
• who was responsible for each part

4. Interaction (Q&A session)

• At the end of each presentation, there will be a Q&A session
• The audience must ask questions and interact
• Each group must prepare at least one question for another group
• Questions should not be read; try to ask them naturally

Asking and answering questions is part of your learning process.

5. Final reflection

Submit a short reflection including:

• difficulties encountered
• decisions made during the process
• what was difficult to understand or explain and why
• what you would do differently next time
• use (or non-use) of AI tools

Timing and participation

• The presentation should last around 10 minutes
• Each group member should speak for approximately 3 minutes
• Do not exceed the time limit
• All group members must participate equally

Assessment criteria (important)

Your final grade will be based on:

• the quality of your oral presentation
• the clarity and accuracy of your technical explanation
• your ability to interact (Q&A)
• the evidence of your work process
• your final reflection
