Reading won’t be allowed, you will have to explain the case in a simple way, using the appropriate language to deliver oral presentations, linkers…, visual aid will help you. Recommendations:
 * Plan your research: Introduction, body, conclusion.
 * Divide the issues you’ll deal with among the members of your team.
 * Use discourse linkers to introduce new information and to refer to backward information. Signpoint where you are i.e closing.
 * Use web tools for collaborative work, particularly interesting if it’s difficult for you to have regular meetings.
 * Use prezi or power point to deliver your presentation.
 * Choose the language from the oral speech rather than from the written one.
 * Practice your presentation in front of a mirror and record yourself.
 * [|Some advice on how to deal with oral presentations]
 * Don’t forget to summarize and use discourse linkers again for that.
 * Avoid complex structures and expressions.
 * Avoid complex words typical from the News and substitute them with words everybody can understand.
 * Use a glossary to anticipate difficult words that will also help the audience to understand you.
 * Practice what you are going to say i.e with any [|text to speech] software to correct your pronunciation.
