This really is teaching grandmothers about accessing poultry protein. It is a typical managerial reduction of a complex issue to one of banal process. It is on a par with those who think teaching is just a matter of speaking loudly enough or having appropriate objectives. The most important issues are ones of content, what you actually say, at what level, and in what context. Unfortunately, though, managers would have nothing to contribute here, of course
I think the justification for advising presenters to 'speak clearly' is self-evident. Was it really necessary to insult both speakers of languages other than English AND those of us with 'non-traditional' UK accents in order to get this point across? How were these prejudiced assumptions not picked up when this article was reviewed and edited? Does this indicate a lack of diversity amongst the THE editorial staff?
I'm guessing this may be a disciplinary thing but it's been a very long time since I've seen a presenter actually read their paper. Generally speaking my experience is that a 'paper' tends to be a presentation (with visuals) with the aim of making the audience want to read the paper itself. This makes sense to me: why read something out to an audience who are capable of reading?
