Based on Talk Like a Pro: Making a Winning Presentation, it emphasizes clarity, structure, and delivery in public speaking while gradually building skills in critical thinking and argumentation. Students will learn how to analyze audiences, organize messages, design visual aids, and use voice and body language confidently. In addition to individual presentations, students will participate in debate activities that strengthen their ability to construct logical arguments, respond to opposing views, and engage in persuasive communication. Through practice, feedback, and teamwork, students will develop greater confidence as speakers and debaters.
