Abstract

Presentation skill is essential both for academic and business purposes, but its training, particularly in Asian countries, still heavily depends on experiences. This paper reconsiders presentation skill and reports our multimedia learner corpus of basic presentation in English made by Japanese students. It consists of video, slides, prepared oral manuscripts, and holistic and element-based evaluations. With this evaluations, we discussed the correspondence between the holistic and element-based evaluations with a view to realizing semi-automatic evaluation of presentations.
