How to utilize Public Speaking in the tutorial

Introduction

As a teacher, you are often put into situations where you stand in front of the classroom. Whether it is to explain a theory or guide an exercise, for the moment being you are the centre of the attention, and the way you present it matters. In this MicroLab you will engage in practical public speaking exercises focused on developing your body language and vocal presentation. Furthermore, you’ll practice delivering an educational speech using rhetorical tools.

Target group and required prior knowledge

This MicroLab is intended for TAs and Tutors that are interested to further develop their teaching skills.

Form and time investment   

This MicroLab has a blended character. You will start in the online Canvas environment containing support materials. As a preparation for the workshop, you will be asked to create an educational and an introduction speech (about 3 hours of total preparation time). During the physical workshop (3h) you will participate in various improvisational public speaking exercises focused on using non-verbal communication. In the second part, you will deliver the prepared educational speech and receive feedback from the trainer and a group.
