Speaking Skills: Teachers/Educators Can Lecture Effectively

 

 

Imagine that every time you speak in front of the classroom your students are riveted to your words and ideas. Wouldn't it be great to know that you can make your academic topic instantly understandable and memorable to students, even if they aren't taking detailed notes?

 

In this How Teachers and Educators Can Lecture More Effectively course you will learn the following:

 

 How to use stories to make your ideas more memorable

 How to avoid the most common mistakes made by boring teachers and professors

 How simple movement around the classroom can increase student attention and engagement

 How to protect and save your speaking voice

 

This course is delivered primarily through spoken lecture. Because the skill you are learning is speaking related, it only makes sense that you learn through speaking.

 

The skill you will learn in this class is not primarily theoretical or academic. It is a skill that requires physical habits. That is why you will be asked to take part in numerous exercises where you record yourself speaking on video, and then watch yourself. Learning presentation skills is like learning how to ride a bicycle. You simply have to do it numerous times and work past the wobbling and falling off parts until you get it right.

 

This course contains numerous video lectures plus several bonus books for your training library.

 

How long this course takes is up to you. The longest part of the course involves you speaking on video, critiquing yourself, and doing it over until you like it. But if you get to the point where you love how you look and sound when you present, it will be well worth the time spent. And having this skill will save you time for all future presentations in your life.

 

You can begin improving your presentation skills right now. You may have an opportunity to speak out as soon as tomorrow, so why waste another day worried that your presentation skills are not up to high standards? Enroll in this course today.
