How to prepare Chinese presentation materials for international audiences

To prepare Chinese presentation materials for international audiences effectively, here are some key points based on available research and best practices:

• Use clear and standardized annotated texts when presenting Chinese characters (e.g., with pinyin or phonetic notations) to aid non-native speakers’ understanding and reading ease. Avoid overloading slides with complex visuals that hamper readability. ^{1, 2}

• Adapt cultural content with a global perspective. Provide cultural context and explanations for Chinese concepts to bridge cultural gaps for international viewers, ensuring the material resonates without losing authenticity. ^{3, 4}

• Employ well-accepted Chinese rhetorical strategies and persuasive expressions that work cross-culturally, to engage diverse international audiences effectively. Understanding what expressions appeal across cultures helps in winning trust and conveying messages clearly. ⁵

• Use multimedia and interactive elements thoughtfully to maintain engagement and enhance comprehension, especially in distance or online formats. Incorporate real-life scenarios and cultural examples that global learners can relate to. ^{6, 7}

• Practice simplicity and clarity in language and visuals; avoid idiomatic or culturally specific jargon without explanations. Supplement Chinese texts with translations or transliterations where appropriate to aid comprehension. ^{2, 4}

• Consider the audience’s cultural background when choosing examples, visuals, and delivery style to ensure the presentation is inclusive and accessible. ^{8, 3}

This approach balances linguistic clarity, cultural sensitivity, and engaging presentation techniques tailored to international audiences for Chinese materials.
