Workshop: Conquering the fear of public speaking
As you approach the podium, the butterflies feel like they’re going to pound out of your chest. “I should’ve practiced more!” “This is going to be a disaster!” “Is it too late to cancel?” If those are your feelings as a teacher, imagine how your students feel doing a presentation in a second language. It must feel like the ground is going to swallow them up whole, and yet, public speaking is undoubtedly one of the most important skills in the modern workplace. Warren Buffett echoes the views of countless successful people when he says that public speaking skills increase a worker’s value by up to 50%!
Join us in this workshop to learn of a fool-proof, step-by-step plan for transforming any student from a prisoner of their nerves into a confident and skilled public speaker. If you think you know how to teach public speaking, think again. Here’s how to really get your students talking!
5PM – KOTESOL Social Event nearby (Brewer's Brothers, Etoh's, Indian, or Galbi - TBA) Everyone pays for their own food and beverage.
