Public Speaking

$100.00
Course Duration
Learning Format

Public Speaking students are introduced to public speaking as an important component of their academic, work, and social lives.

Students study public speaking occasions and develop skills as fair and critical listeners, or consumers, of spoken information and persuasion.

Students study types of speeches (informative, persuasive, dramatic, and special occasion), read and listen to models of speeches, and prepare and present their own speeches to diverse audiences. Students learn to choose speaking topics and adapt them for specific audiences, to research and support their ideas, and to benefit from listener feedback.

They study how to incorporate well designed visual and multimedia aids in presentations and how to maintain a credible presence in the digital world.

Students also learn about the ethics of public speaking and about techniques for managing communication anxiety.

Ready your student for life outside the classroom. When learners gain the skills to get to the next level, opportunities come calling.
