Dear students,
this month we will work over an important domain of developing Public Speaking Skills, that we need for both English class activities and for the other subjects assessments.
For the following classes there are several tools and a number of materials provided here on our blog, to get acquainted with, to watch, read, make notes and prepare for discussion.
Our final goal is: after the material is studied and discussed, you are invited to choose one topic from the provided list and prepare a presentation with the help of references below.
So, let’s the journey begin.
