This course is focused on developing verbal communication skills for practical, real-life application.  Students will build their confidence and develop public speaking and presentation skills to lead and succeed in the classroom, university and careers. 

In addition to learning the foundations of public speaking (pacing, emphasis, good openings, rhetorical devices, using visuals, engaging the audience, etc.) Students will learn interview skills, making formal introductions, selecting and telling stories appropriate to audience and occasion, and formal and informal speeches.  Students will study famous speeches from history and practise the multi-step process of creating and presenting a formal speech.
