PUBLIC SPEAKING (2)

PUBLIC SPEAKING (1)

Last lesson we saw some videos that introduce the whole idea of PUBLIC SPEAKING.

The point here is to help you to develop your SPEAKING SKILLS. You will improve (for example):
- making notes that will help through your speech;
- organising a speech (logical sequence, connectors)
- researching and developing sound arguments
- using different verbal techniques (speech markers, emphasis, rethorical questions,ways to address the audience, stress and intonation, ...)
