Overview

PechaKucha is a storytelling format where a presenter shows 20 slides for 20 seconds of commentary each. At a PechaKucha Night, individuals gather at a venue to share personal presentations about their work. Firstly, when we speak of our first time doing something enjoyable, it's always a good feeling. We like what we like, we know what we like, and because of that, we return often, to what we like. As you can tell by now, I like Pecha Kucha. Secondly, its principles are easy to understand and apply. It's fast, it's efficient, it's effective, it's collaborative, it's visual, it's easy to prepare, it's fun. However, it does require practice, lots of it, to do this well. Practice, oh what a sweet word in the ears of any EFL teacher. Students practicing what they are going to say, again and again, going over their own words, to speak about images they have selected. Volumes of practice, huge quantities of practice, helping the students to achieve the eventual automaticity that is the hallmark of mastery. Of all the principles of the Pecha Kucha, the most important principle is this: images are powerful. Images convey meaning and emotions. The whole range of the human experience can be conveyed by images. For example, think of the images left on the walls of caves by cavemen.
