As a teacher and a scholar, you are called on to speak in a variety of contexts, which can be daunting for anyone but may be even more complicated if you speak English as an additional language. What strategies can you use to make it easier for others to understand you and stay engaged in what you are saying? In this seminar, we will learn and practice concrete strategies to improve public speaking skills across contexts, including classrooms, conferences, and a range of personal and professional interactions. By practicing presentation, pronunciation, and theater techniques, you will build awareness around how to communicate confidently with any audience. This seminar is designed for those who speak English as an additional language, but would be useful for anyone who would like to develop their public speaking skills.
The full seminar is eight sessions; students are welcome to register and attend any or all sessions.
