Speakers often use a textual cue to announce that they are going to finish their presentation. Is the use of such a textual cue a sound ploy to signal the end? Rhetoricians and other writers of textbooks on oral communication do not agree on this issue. Some state that such a signaling device increases the attention of the listener in the last minutes of the speech. Other authors point out that it is a cue to the audience to stop listening and head for the exit and the coffee. There is little experimental evidence for either of the two positions. Does the closing of a speech result in a better remembrance of the last words of the speaker and/or in a higher appreciation of the speech itself? To explore these questions two mini-lectures (length approx. 17 minutes) were constructed and videotaped. From each of these lectures two versions were constructed: one version with an explicit announcement of the closing section and one version without. The tapes were digitally edited in order to obtain 2X2 exactly similar presentations (differing only in a few lines of text: the announcement of the closure). The lectures were shown to four comparable groups of listeners (Ntotal=350). The dependent variables were a mc-question list (covering the closing of the speech) to measure the retention of the listeners and a questionnaire to measure the attitude of the listeners towards the speech. The outcome of the experiment suggests that the attentional stimulus of announcing the closure of a speech could be working in cases where listeners have a rather low interest in the subject of the speech. Referring to the introduction as rhetorical technique helps to add relish to the experience of listening to the speech.","PeriodicalId":131068,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127771862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This graduate course ldquoEnglish for Engineers and Scientistsrdquo is a new attempt to teach and train graduate students how to make proper technical presentations in English. The course is composed of lectures on technical presentation for four weeks and practice sessions for seven weeks. In the lectures essential points of technical presentations are discussed in detail and in the practice sessions students are trained through making presentations twice on the same topic. Their presentation skills have been improved by native speaker instructorspsila instructions and suggestions on presentation performances, slides, and English. Native speaker instructorspsila comments in the evaluation reports indicate that almost all the students in their first try made improper presentations by not following the points they learned in the lecture. In their second try, however, they made much better presentations. The class evaluation results show that most of the students have obtained necessary skills of technical presentation. These results indicate that the combined course of lecture and practice sessions is very effective in training students to make better technical presentations in English.","PeriodicalId":131068,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129797740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By combining instant web publishing, social networking, user-generated content, and communal tagging, rating, and commenting-all within an easy-to-use content management system-Web 2.0 websites have the potential to increase the richness, dynamism, and influence of qualitative research. To explore this potential, we have developed a conceptual model for a research website designed to collect structured accounts from a targeted group of people about a specific topic. In our case, we plan to collect first-hand reports from technical communicators about their experiences and opinions related to single sourcing and/or content management methods and tools. This paper describes and illustrates the main components of our conceptual model and also touches on some of the challenges we anticipate. In concluding the paper, we report our progress to date in building the site and speculate about possible implications of our model for opening up the information economy of qualitative research in diverse areas, both within academe and within other organizational contexts.","PeriodicalId":131068,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121201242","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper contributes to answering the following research question: Can Netnography be used as a research method and how can it be used efficiently in order to design internet strategy such as online communication and distribution? Different blogs dedicated to luxury products were analyzed in order to test this research method in the luxury sector. What Internet users interested in luxury goods and services were saying and writing in different blogs dedicated to luxury products was analyzed with the netnography methodology. Postings discussing luxury watch brands, luxury cars, luxury travel and art objects were analyzed through the frequency of particular terms in order to give an idea of the most stated opinions and the perception of the products and services. Results showed that Web 2.0 can no longer be ignored and should be fully integrated in the communication and distribution strategy, even in the case of luxury products and services.","PeriodicalId":131068,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116407788","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
