How Will Students Interact? Interaction is at the heart of this course, giving each student ample opportunity to practice and refine their skills in real-time. Each class includes:

>Group Discussions and Games: Designed to encourage interaction and connection, students will practice conversation and rapport-building skills in a fun setting.

>Weekly Practice Exercises: These are highly interactive and allow students to perform in front of their peers, practicing introductions, speeches, and storytelling in a supportive environment.

>Peer and Teacher Feedback: After each exercise, students receive feedback from their classmates and the instructor. This positive reinforcement builds confidence and highlights areas for improvement.

>Homework Assignments: Each week, students complete a short assignment, such as recording a video or preparing a speech, to solidify what they’ve learned. These assignments encourage self-reflection and practice, essential for real-world skill development.

Teaching Methods: The teacher uses a blend of engaging lecture, games, discussion prompts, and hands-on activities to ensure students are fully immersed in each lesson. Lessons often include slides and video clips featuring real-life examples to make concepts relatable and memorable. For example, when learning about storytelling, students might watch a short clip of a well-known speaker to see how stories enhance a message. Through creative exercises like mock introductions and role-playing, students will feel like they’re not just learning about public speaking—they’re actively becoming better speakers in every class.
