Course Description

This course is designed to examine the principles of public address and teach the students the main elements and factors which result in a dynamic and effective speech. Besides speaking skills, the course aims to help students to improve their listening skills so that they are able to evaluate and critique speeches they listen to insightfully. The course provides opportunity for students to significantly improve their public speaking skills by practicing and delivering speeches and presentations in a safe environment with feedback from their peers as well as their lecturer so that they will be able to critically examine their own and others’ speeches through interactive practice.
