Pecha Kucha is a presentation format originating in Japan in which 20 slides are shown for 20 seconds each, making the speaking time exactly 6:40. It is increasingly being used in academic teaching contexts. Empirical research suggests that this format is superior to classic PowerPoint presentations in some aspects and can bring positive learning effects. The present article discusses the advantages and disadvantages of this format on the basis of a field report on a linguistics project seminar in which the digital final presentations were designed as Pecha Kucha. Furthermore, possibilities of transfer to analog settings are discussed.
