Stage Fright to Stage Right: Presenting with Confidence in ELT

with Eduardo de Freitas and Daniel Claro


About this session

Many teachers have valuable ideas to share, but the path from the audience to the stage can feel intimidating. In this Staffroom Live, Eduardo de Freitas and Daniel Silva Claro explore the practical side of presenting at ELT events: how to manage your timing, structure a talk that flows, design slides that support (rather than steal) your message, and handle the nerves that come with the territory. Drawing on their experience as speakers, teacher trainers and event organisers, they offer honest, actionable guidance for educators at any stage — from those drafting their first proposal to those refining an established presentation style. Participants will leave with a clear roadmap for planning, rehearsing and delivering their next talk with confidence.
