Ready to boost those public speaking skills? We have new challenge for you.
In case you are new to public speaking please apply for our beginners course here.
The ability to speak in front of people and deliver a clear message is a crucial skill for a successful career, whether academic or otherwise. From an educational presentation in front of your classmates, to a work meeting or an elevator pitch; mastering advanced techniques of public speaking will be a useful skill for the future. Future-oriented education puts emphasis in communication, so why not fine tuning the skill now?
You'll meet your instructor, establish a comfortable group, goals and rules. We will refresh the BIO feedback method and record your first speech.
In this session, we will go back to ethos, logos and pathos, and add kairos to the mix. We will also explore why research is important for your speech preparation.
Structuring your speech is crucial, especially when speaking on camera. In this session we will prepare the script that you will record on the lab with a teleprompter.
To be able to impact the audience, you need to be aware of response traps, know how to inspire / motivate your audience, and how to be persuasive.
We will explore techniques to achieve different goals and help different audiences remember our presentation: the load and type of explanations are essential to get the message across.
It will be time to prepare and face one last challenge: time to host your own event.
"I took Advanced Public Speaking at the end of my 2-year Master's programme and this class overshadowed all the previous courses I'd taken during my Master studies. It is not surprising as the people in class were all very welcoming, eager to learn and perform and showed great support for each other. The exercises we were supposed to do were not just well-structured and effective, but fun. Wait till you get to do a power-point karaoke or record your speech in front of a teleprompter like a professional TV host or YouTuber and you'll get what I mean. I used to like public speaking before the course, but now I love it."
