Abstract
There is a growing need for a well-designed learner support system for presentation in English, particularly in non-English-speaking countries. We have developed a prototype of comprehensive learning support system of basic presentation that consists of several modules including digital contents of preliminary tutorials, an interactive aide for organizing a presentation and its corresponding slides, semi-automatic evaluation estimation, and a online review of recorded presentations. After trials, it has been clear that non-verbal aspects has to be extensively supported by such a system. In this study, we made an extensive observation and analysis of available professional and learner presentations, and extracted significant non-verbal elements in those presentations. Then, we designed learner support materials for non-verbal aspects, based on a non-verbal ontology we also designed. It is expected that the implementation of those materials will let learners to learn more effectively how to make and conduct a presentation.
