Public Speaking 2023

Details

2023-04-12

This is not the first time that a political speech presentation event  has been held at our school. In the 2022-2023 academic year it was held on March 28 and April 4. It was attended by students of the 11th grade. An important part of this event was played by the teacher of Public Speaking, A.  Valtere, the teacher of history V. Šulce, and English language teachers G.Zaremba and J. Mazure.

The teachers developed the main directions of the event, as well as the essential criteria for evaluating students’ speeches. A lot of preparatory work in planning and coordinating the joint efforts, instructing the students, selecting the criteria, and establishing the rules was carried out.

The students were asked to read, listen to and analyse the speeches of famous contemporary or historical politicians, and express their points of view in accordance with the preselected evaluation criteria.

There were three general purposes that all speeches created by the students fall into: to inform, to persuade, and to inspire their audience.

The students had to do quite a lot of work: watch and listen to and analyse several speeches presented by selected famous politicians and later interpret and evaluate them. The responses above demonstrate the  adolescents’ earnest and thorough analysis of the freedom of speech issue. The students revealed their different views on various subjects and exchanged ideas.

This event proved the significance of political speech analysis for the students. More importantly, development of their ability to speak in public also improves their communication skills. Therefore, the teachers wanted to help their students to become good public speakers, focusing on preparation, analysis, performance and evaluation.
