Well the lecture came off much easier than I expected. My audience was at least polite enough to pretend that they were following my discourse. It was rather hard to guage how much they understood, as they didnt ask too many questions at the end. I'm not sure if it was because I spoke too fast out of nervousnous, or because my points were not well put together.
About 10 minutes into it, I posed these questions:
Does anyone here teach at elementary school? Nope, not a one.
Has anyone every taught at elementary school? Again, no one.
Does anyone wish to teach at elementary school in the future? Nobody.
Pretty stress free from this point on, felt like I could have spoken gibberish and no one would have cared.
Anyways, the keynote speaker after me was brilliant and backed up her talk (about the same topic, but in Japanese) with PowerPoint slides and scientific research and statistics, but she received fewer questions than I did. So yeah, the audience was well chosen.
