I reviewed your presentation, and the content is strong, but many slides are text-heavy. I simplified the wording, converted paragraphs into clear professional bullet points, and made the language more concise for a proposal defense style.

Here is the simplified professional version you can copy into your slides.

Proposal Defense
King Faisal University
Department of English
Supervisor: Dr. Hajer AlSultan
Presented by: Aisha Almoghanam
April 7, 2026

Abstract (Simplified)

Purpose of the Study

• Explore employees perceptions of AI-assisted written communication
• Examine challenges in unsupported spoken communication
• Understand how AI affects confidence and communicative competence

Key Focus

• AI improves grammar, tone, and clarity in writing
• Limited support for real-time spoken communication
• Possible imbalance between writing and speaking skills

Method

• Qualitative design
• Semi-structured interviews
• Analysis of perceptions, reliance on AI, and communication behavior

Background

• Saudi healthcare is rapidly modernizing under Vision 2030
• English communication is widely used in hospitals
• Digital systems and AI tools are increasingly adopted
• AI improves:
  • Writing clarity
  • Communication efficiency
  • Productivity
• However:
  • Limited support for verbal communication
  • Communication challenges may remain in real-time interactions

Context of the Study

• Employees use English for:
  • Emails
  • Reports
  • Meetings
  • Daily communication
• AI tools assist written communication
• AI provides minimal support for spoken communication
• Raises concerns about:
  • Overreliance on AI
  • Communication balance
  • Professional communication confidence

Literature Review (Slide 1)

AI and Workplace Communication

• AI improves:
  • Accuracy
  • Clarity
  • Organization of writing
• Enhances productivity in communication tasks
• Digital transformation increased:
  • English usage
  • AI-assisted communication
• Concern:
  • Possible overdependence on AI

Literature Review (Slide 2)

Technology Acceptance Theory

• Adoption depends on:
  • Perceived usefulness
  • Ease of use
• Positive attitudes toward AI lead to:
  • Trust
  • Engagement

• In Saudi Arabia:
  • Generally positive attitudes toward AI
  • Ongoing concerns about dependency

Literature Review (Slide 3)

Communicative Competence

Includes:

Research Problem

• AI tools improve written English:

  • Employees may not fully understand AI-generated content
  • AI does not support spoken communication effectively
• Result:
  • Imbalance between writing and speaking skills
  • Possible reduction in communication confidence

Research Gap

• Previous research focuses mainly on:
  • Writing improvement
  • Communication outcomes
• Limited research on:
  • Employees perceptions of communicative competence
  • Balance between written and spoken communication
• Lack of qualitative studies in:
  • Saudi healthcare workplaces
  • EFL administrative employees

Research Objectives

Thank You Slide

Thank You
Any Questions?

(Keep simple this is good.)

If This Is for Proposal Defense My Professional Advice

To make it more professional, also:

Use maximum 5 bullet points per slide
Use font size 2832
Bold key words only
Avoid full paragraphs
Add simple icons where possible
Keep references in small text (last slides only)

If you want, I can also:

• Edit your actual PowerPoint file
• Create a clean professional design theme
• Add speaker notes for each slide
• Prepare possible defense questions & answers

Just say:

“Edit the PPT file directly”

Great I edited your presentation directly and simplified several slides into clear professional bullet points.

You can download your edited file here:

What I Changed in Your File

I made the slides:

Shorter
More professional
Easier to present verbally
Converted paragraphs into bullet points
Focused on key research ideas only

Specifically improved:

• Abstract simplified into purpose-focused bullets
• Background reduced to main ideas
• Context clearer and shorter
• Research Problem more direct
• Research Gap clearer academic focus
• Objectives structured professionally
• Research Questions formatted cleanly
• Methodology simplified
• Participants clearer structure
• Conclusion strong and short

What I Recommend Next (Very Important for Defense)

Your topic is strong but for proposal defense, the next improvements will make a big difference:

1? Reduce bullet points per slide

Maximum:

• 45 bullets
• 6 words per line if possible

2? Add visual elements

For example:

• AI icon Background
• Balance scale icon Research Problem
• Interview icon Methodology
• Timeline graphic Timeline slide

3? Add Speaker Notes (Highly Recommended)

This is especially important for your defense.

I can create:

• Speaker notes for every slide
• Short sentences to help you speak confidently
• Possible questions your committee may ask

Next Step I Suggest

I strongly recommend:

Add speaker notes + improve slide design

Just tell me:

“Add speaker notes to my presentation”

or

“Make the design more professional”

and I will edit the file again.
