USing visuals during your speech
Т
While preparation and delivery are important, the visual aids that you use throughout your speech are equally as important. In fact, there are instances when good visual aids are vital to a speech's success.
We process information in a number of ways, most notably visually and audibly. If your visual aids do not properly match your speech of if they are used in an ineffective manner, this could be a detriment to your speech. Anything that distracts an audience from your message will result in your inability to deliver your message.
Typically, in 3 days we remember:
10% of all we hear, 35% of all we see, and 65% of all we see and hear at the same time.
Visual aids comprise a wide variety of items, handouts, slides, moving pictures, posters, models, objects, and many others. All of these visual aids are meant to reinforce your main message. Moreover, they become vital when it is necessary to present information that can only be described in a visual format. To use an obvious example, if you are giving a speech to a company's board of directors on the plans for a new building, it would be essential to have a picture or some sort of visual aid to accompany your speech. Yes, it would be possible to give an audible only speech about the new building's plans, but it would be extremely ineffective to do so. There are occasions when a visual aid is a necessary component of your message.
Visual Aids
Who is meant to read it or view it?
Grabing attention
Advantages
Learning experience
Understanding
It is easierto hold the attention of audience towards you when you use visual aids. It may be unexciting to just sit and pay attention to someone’s talk but use of visual aids would catch the interest of most of the people present there.
Involvement and engagement of the participants increases when you use aids as they are hearing as well as seeing. This would give a better learning experience to the audience.
With the use of visual aids, it is easier for the audience to understand and remember the information you provide. Seeing text with relevant image is easier to understand than a simple text. People remember more of what they see than what they hear.
Correct usage of visual aids also minimizes the chances of any kind of mistakes. If used correctly, visual aids can make presentations more exciting, more vibrant, and more effective.
Minimizing mistakes
Firstly, having visual aids need a lot of presentation material and preparation for the same. This may be really time consuming and you may end up giving more time to this than to your speech.
Use of visual aids may also distract your audience from your speech as they pay more attention on the visual aids. Ultimately, the purpose of your speech may not be fulfilled.
Disadvantages
Keep away from overly elaborated visual aids. The ability to see and understand the aid by the audience is more important than the way of delivery.

By the way, there are some drawbacks of using visuals during speech:
Instruction
When using visual aids to support your speech, introduce them before showing and explain their relevance. Ensure that your visual aids are aligned with your speech structure and main points. As you speak, make sure to refer to your visual aids and use verbal cues to guide your audience. Maintain eye contact with your audience and avoid reading from your visual aids; instead, use a remote control or a clicker to advance your slides or videos. Additionally, manage your time and pace according to your visual aids.

• Do use color. Black and whites slides will look boring. Use color even if it is just for a heading for the slide.
• Make sure the visual aid you are using is visible from at least 8 feet away. If it is legible from approximately that distance, it will be legible to an entire room when it is projected using visual equipment.
• Consider using clip art. Virtually all computers have some free clip art available. Consider using some on your visual aids, especially if you pick a theme for the art and use a different image on each presentation.

Good practises

• Do not keep an image displayed for more than 10 minutes. All visual aids distract some attention from the speaker but this is acceptable since your aids help communicate your message. However, after 10 minutes, the audience will be bored looking at a stale image.
• Do not use cartoons or other "cute" additions to your presentation unless it is appropriate for your audience.
• Do not experiment with different fonts throughout your presentation. Use a single font, but you may use it in different sizes to set off information that is more important. In addition, the use of bold lettering is effective.
• Do not overuse colors, and make sure that the color is relevant to your message You would not use a bright blue color, for example, for a slide that is delivering bad news to a company. Similarly, you should not use a wide variety of colors, as this will be distracting to an audience.

Bad practises

• Contractions. Some people tend to slur contractions. Take note whether you are clearly pronouncing each element of the contraction. If, for example, you were slurring the contraction "wouldn't," use the two words instead, would not.
• Reversed words. Some people mispronounce common words that sound alike by reversing the order of some letters. For example, prescription versus perscription. Only the first spelling, and thus, the first pronunciation, is correct.
• Omitted letters. Good articulation means pronouncing all letters in a word clearly. Do not omit letters. For example, pronounce the "t" in "mists" rather than speaking a word than sounds more like "miss."

USeful tips
During speech your voice, volume, rythm,articulation are also important.
With elementary level students
Flash cards are a simple, versatile, yet often underexploited resource. I would like to offer some reasons for using flash cards and a selection of activities for use in the Young Learner classroom, although some of the activities could also be used with fun-loving, lower level adult classes.
1.Memory activities
2.Drilling activities
3.TPR activities
First/Then board
They help teach logical sequences of events, e.g., “First wash hands, then eat.” They visually clarify step-by-step instructions. They also help motivate children to engage in less-preferred activities, knowing that a preferred activity will follow.
Cartoons
Cartoons can be used as a warmer or icebreaker to the lesson, to change focus or initiate classroom discussion.
You can get students to create their own captions for the provided cartoons, match captions with selections of cartoons, and analyze different cultural and/or social behavior. Finally, you can use cartoons and ask children to reflect on the events shown in the pictures
Activity
‘When pigs fly’
A way of saying that something will never happen.
'Keep an ear to the ground'
to pay attention to everything that is happening around you and to what people are saying.
'To cut corners'
to do something in the easiest, cheapest, or fastest way.
'Fit as a fiddle'
very healthy and strong
'Bite off more than you can chew'
try to do something which is too difficult for you.
‘See eye to eye’
If you see eye to eye with someone, you agree with them and have the same opinions and views.
'To kill two birds with one stone'
to succeed in achieving two things in a single action.
'Miss the boat'
to lose an opportunity to do something by being slow to act, being late
'Hit the sack'
to go to bed; go to sleep
‘To cost an arm and a leg’
Very expensive

To sum up, we may say that an appropriate use of visual aids can give your presentation a really superior turn. On the other hand, if you pay more attention on the aids than on your speech, they may overshadow you in the eyes of the addressees and seize all the attention of the audience.
