Communication Workshop for Secondary Students
A new Communication Workshop specifically designed for secondary students who may be experiencing particular difficulty in oral presentations, general communication, confidence and self-esteem and the ability to stand up in front of their class to present. The Workshop is also suitable for those who do have the confidence but would be interested in becoming a more assertive and effective communicator.
The Workshop provides an awareness of the various strategies and life skills that can be used to enhance one's personal presentation, improve on marks and assist in acquiring a 'winner's attitude'. The Workshop is flexible with two models of delivery and can be scheduled to suit the needs of the school.
Become a confident, assertive and effective communicator
Secondary school students should appear as positive, self-assured and commanding speakers. Able to capture the attention of any audience: an oral presentation in the classroom, addressing the school on assembly or speaking to a large gathering, all should be displayed with confidence, skill and flair to leave a lasting impression.
COMMUNICATION WORKSHOPS
Aims and Objectives: To demonstrate techniques that will take the stress out of standing up in front of the class when giving oral presentations or public speaking. To provide an awareness of the various strategies and life skills that can be used to improve one’s personal presentation. Courses aim to improve on marks, impress an audience and assist in acquiring a ‘winner’s attitude’.
Method: Participants will be involved collaboratively and individually in activities that will open up opportunities for creative thinking, personal analysis and experimentation. Students will experience and observe the importance of good vocal expression, body language and how to make an impact.
Result: A knowledge and understanding of the vital elements of creative and effective communication plus the confidence and skills required to influence and impress others.
