Presenting with the CLS

The CLS is proud to host presenters who contribute their knowledge to our language learning community. If you are presenting at one of our events, please review the following so that your presentation goes as smoothly as possible.

Arrive early

Arriving at least 15 minutes before your presentation will allow you to familiarize yourself with the room and technology.

Because our presentations are shared on Zoom, connecting your own laptop is not a possibility.

Send your slides to us

Please email your slides to CLS language technology specialist Kristian Wingo  so that we can have them ready before your presentation. Please use Google Slides or PowerPoint to ensure compatibility with room computers. 

For some guidance on effective slides, this page on how to Create + prepare slides from TED is a good place to start. 

Let us know how we can help
