  Reflection on Class Presentations: Daniela Arrazcaeta           Looking back over the past few weeks as everyone shared their themed presentations, I could really see how much our class has grown.

Language is closely tied to culture, so avoid slang or culture-specific terms unless necessary, and use gender-fair language to include all listeners. Spoken language differs from written—it’s more immediate, informal, and conversational—so speeches should use engaging, audience-focused language.
