Lecture
Writing
Speaking
Evaluating
1.Lecture. After a brief introduction explaining what students will learn, we cover a number of tips on organizing, writing and speaking. All of the tips are easy to remember.
2.Write. Students will get work outlining and writing their speech. However, memorizing is kept to minimum. They will be trained in how to remember the key points of their message.
3.Speak. Each student will have a chance to tell their story-without notes. The techniques covered make it easy to do. Speaking forces to students to communicate their thoughts.
4.Review. Depending on the time available, we review highlights of the speeches and how they could be improved. We also review what students learned and how it affected their communication skills.
