Moderator should be someone who speaks clearly, has a good pronounciation, appropriate grammar, and knows sufficient vocabulary relating to the topic being presented.

The Tasks of a moderator Before the presentation of the papers presenting him/her self : Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, my name is Faisal. Akbar Faisal and I have a great honor to be the moderator of this seminar today.

Reading the presenter's CV by selecting the educational background, the work and activities related to the topic being presented

Ladies and gentlemen, in this very special occasion, I would like to introduce the speaker/the presenter to you. His name is Mr. Hasan, Abu Hasan, he is from Semarang, he works in Regional Development and Planning Board Central Java Province. Mr. Hasan graduated from Sydney University, Australia, majoring in Business Management. Now he is responsible for administration matters, like business correspondence, filling system, personnel matters and finance. Mr. Hasan also writes some books on Business and Management matters especially on Human Resources Development in Central Java. Mr. Hasan please! Mr. Hasan, would you please! Mr. Hasan, the floor is yours!

After the presentation of the papers To thank and ask the audience to give questions or make comments. Do not forget to ask them to raise their hands first, to mention their names and institutions

If the participant forget to mention the name or institution, the moderator must quickly stop and say : Excuse me madam/sir, your name and your institution please! Although the moderator knows the name of the person asking, he should not mention the name, unless it was known by all the audience. Yes please, the gentleman on the left. Yes please, the lady with the eyeglass. Yes please, the lady in the blue (dress)

Jika si penanya bicara panjang lebar dan tidak jelas, moderator berhak meminta si penanya untuk memperbaiki pertanyaannya dengan cara: Excuse me sir / madame, would you please, rephrase your question? Bukan : * Would you please repeat the question? Jangan sekali-sekali mengatakan : Please, repeat, repeat!

Moderator memastikan apakah penanya sudah puas dengan jawaban penyaji: Excuse me sir/madame, does that answer your question? Excuse me sir/madame, may we go on? Jangan sekali-sekali menggunakan kalimat: Sir/ Madame, is it clear? Sir/Madame, do you understand? Sir/Madame are you satisfied?
