When speaking in the World Schools Debate format, different speakers have different roles that they must follow in order to make the debate go smoothly. For example, the first or opening speakers must be the first to represent their position of the topic. The first speaker of the proposition is to go first. They define the motion they have given and outline their arguments for the motion being successful. In a very similar fashion

Each speaker in the debate has a different role. The first speaker is responsible for: defining the motion,  outlining the arguments that proposition will bring, explaining which speakers will present which of the arguments, and presenting part of the case for their sides. Similarly, the first speakers opposition is responsible for: Challenging the definition and providing a new one, outlining their teams case, rebuttal, and presenting part of that case for their side. The second speakers in the debate are responsible for: defending their definition further, defending their previous speakers point from rebuttal, offering rebuttal to the other teams case, and making new arguments in support of your case. The third speakers role is to respond to the the other team. The bulk of the third persons speech should be mainly dedicated to defeating claims made by the other side in detail while still further defending the points made on your side. Think of this as rebutting their rebuttal.

When debating you will either receive a prepared or impromptu motion. A prepared motion is when you are given the motion and side you are debating on earlier in the day. This is usually sent out several weeks in advance in order for competitors to prepare and research. An impromptu motion is given to you at the same time you are given your side of the debate. For this you will only have your preparation time to prepare arguments and examples for your side. For impromptu debates you will only have an hour to prepare. Only three people speak in this debate, but all five members can help with preparation. Each team is only allowed, an English Language dictionary, a bilingual dictionary, and a single volume encyclopedia or almanac while preparing.

In world debate you can use the technique of policy debate. Policy debate is when a motion implies that a specific person should do or not do some certain policy. The policy doesn't have to just be about governments they can advocate organisations or individuals not to do certain things. You can also use the technique of Truth debate. Truth debate is when there is no need to propose a specific course of action. In truth debate you just argue about the truth or falsity of a statement given.

Not all debates are polices proposing for a specific policy. A policy debate is usually when the motion shows that an actor should change a certain policy. A policy does not only need to be about government. The truth debate is about you do not need to propose a specific course of action you must just show how the argument is truth.

In World School's Debating there are two different topics that are common, either Policy or Truth debates. A policy debate is either arguing or supporting about an action that the supporting side believes should be taken. For example, in the Cornell Vs. Harvard debate Cornell was against technology, and argued how it negatively affects people throughout the world. Truth debate takes a different approach, instead of focusing on a policy this debate argues the truth or falsity of a statement. These two different forms of debate are in reality very similar.

In a debate each speaker has a different role. The first speaker of proposition is responsible for defining the motion, outlining the arguments that propositions will bring, explaining which speakers will present which of those arguments, and presenting part of the case for their side. The first speaker of the opposition is responsible for challenging the definition and providing a new one but that is only if they think the definition is unfair, outlining the arguments that proposition will bring, explaining which speakers will present which of those arguments, responding to the arguments of first proposition (rebuttal), and presenting part of that case for their side. The second speakers are responsible for continuing to defend their definition, continuing the argumentation presented by their team. This will include defending their previous speaker's points for the rebuttal the other team has made, offering rebuttal to the other team's case, and making new arguments to support your case. The third speakers role is to respond to the other team, they are to focus on defeating the arguments brought by the other team while still defending your teams case. The reply speeches must be delivered by either the first or second speaker of your team, but it can't be from the same person who delivered by the same person that gave the third speech.Their main focus is to explain why their side has already won the debate.
