Public speaking classes

Course Overview

Each component of our curriculum—debate, speech and drama, and elocution—plays a pivotal role in enhancing your child's speaking abilities.

In this course, we will delve into each of these modules for a period of three months each.

Debate

Debate

Engaging in debates helps children learn to construct arguments, think critically, and develop a clear and persuasive speaking style. They will explore various topics, learn to see different perspectives, and hone their ability to defend their viewpoints with confidence and poise.

Debate

Speech and Drama

Through speech and drama activities, students learn the nuances of voice modulation, body language, and expressive communication. Drama exercises foster creativity, empathy, and the ability to convey emotions effectively, while speech practice enhances clarity and articulation.

Debate

Elocution

Elocution training focuses on the art of clear and expressive speech, particularly in pronunciation and articulation. This component helps children refine their diction, improve their command of the language, and deliver speeches with precision and grace.

Why We Teach Whole Body Communication

Effective communication goes far beyond the words we use.

According to Albert Mehrabian’s 7-38-55 rule, communication is comprised of three key components: words (7%), tone of voice (38%), and body language (55%).
At Speak and Shine, we understand that mastering communication means engaging the whole body. Our course is meticulously designed to focus not only on the content but also on the core skills of body language, ensuring our students become confident and compelling communicators.

The 7-38-55 Rule Explained.

  1. Verbal Communication (7%) : While the words we choose are important, they are just a small part of how our message is received.
  2. Vocal Communication (38%) : Tone of voice, pitch, volume, and pace can convey emotions and attitudes, significantly impacting how our message is interpreted.
  3. Visual Communication (55%) : Body language, including facial expressions, gestures, and posture, is the most powerful component, often speaking louder than words.

How Speak and Shine Incorporates Whole Body Communication

Interactive Debates and Discussions

Our debate sessions encourage students to use their entire body to express their points of view. Through structured arguments and rebuttals, students learn to align their verbal and nonverbal communication, enhancing their persuasive power.

Speech and Drama Exercises

Through drama activities, students explore the nuances of body language. They practice using facial expressions, gestures, and movements to convey emotions and tell stories, which helps in developing a natural and expressive communication style.

Elocution Training

Elocution lessons at Speak and Shine go beyond pronunciation and articulation. We focus on how students present themselves, teaching them to use eye contact, confident posture, and appropriate gestures to engage their audience.

Personalized Feedback

Each student receives individualized feedback on their body language. We use video recordings and mirror exercises to help students see and refine their nonverbal communication, making them more aware and intentional in their gestures and expressions.

Role-Playing Scenarios

By engaging in role-playing exercises, students practice real-life situations where whole body communication is key. These scenarios help them understand the importance of congruency between their words, tone, and body language.
