I expect this course to enable me to understand debate format so I can imply it in JH as a way to increase my students' ability to use the language and feel confident.
I wonder what is the most useful tool to teach students so they feel comfortable speaking in public.
Lastly as a former diplomacy teacher I would like to share an inspirational speech clip of Robert F. Kennedy announcing the death of Martin Luther King.

Am excited about this course and am mostly looking forward to gaining and learning tools that relate to public speaking that I can bring into class the next day.  
I'm trying something new this year (actually, I try new things every year, but anyway...) - whereby my 12th grade students' project will involve speech writing and giving.  I'm counting on this course to direct me a little in a field that I really know nothing about.  
As I said, excited about this endeavor. 
Have chosen to call my project "I have a dream".  Hopefully not too cliche.

I am Natalia Levy and I am from Ramat-Gan.
I took my first debate workshop a year ago  and I even taught my students how to debate last year.  However, I still feel that I need skills. I hope that this workshop will provide me with interesting activities that will work on improving my students' confidence, I hope this course will help me learn how to teach my students to write their speeches properly. I'll be glad to learn more about the debate structure, rebuttals and what a whip speaker's role is. 
My question is: 
How can I teach my students to write a speech within an allocated time?

It's my first Debate course and I'm in the search for tools that might help me encourage and promote English speaking among my students (who seem to be quite opinionated when it comes to their mother tongue). My question is a rather simple one: Practically, how do I teach debate in the classroom?
Well, maybe I have another question. Are there any existing tools to help them overcome the anxiety resulted from having the need to stand in front of an audience?

Speaking of "Express Yourself" I have chosen a speech by Madonna. Trust me, she has a lot to say and for all the women out there, I strongly recommend you to watch it. As of now, I guess my questions are pretty much the same questions others have asked before... (how to teach this topic in EFL classrooms) so I don't have other questions, but I do hope the tasks won't be overbearing because in order to keep things fluent and engaging we need to keep it simple yet meaningful :-) Hope to get to know you all through this platform and learn, and be able to pass it on with new tools, and perhaps even laugh at times.]]> 2021-08-26 06:10:10 UTC https://padlet.com/lnlearnonet/8z1jjlymh0tkhyke/wish/1697894621 Sally Rosenberg sallyrosenberg1403 https://padlet.com/lnlearnonet/8z1jjlymh0tkhyke/wish/1698080616 Hi everyone.

My name's Marina. I teach at the elementary school in Ramat Gan. I'm personally interested in the course a lot. 
To my mind, in order to speak and convince someone in something you have to think it over and be able to listen to your opponent first.
So not only speaking but listening and thinking should be taught. 
The earlier we teach our students to think and listen, the better speakers they will be.
The "eternal" question is how to encourage any  learners  (in my case young )first listen , think and then speak in any language.

I am Inbal. I teach junior High and High School. I have very little experience in teaching debate and public speaking and have only once had the experience of public speaking myself. 
Being a shy person, I think makes it easier for me to encourage my quieter students to participate. Once upon a time, you would never catch me speaking before an audience and while today it still isn't easy for me, I manage myself better.
Debate is different for me. I am not good with arguments or confrontations. I do not consider myself a quick thinker with clever responses. If this course can coach me how to develop these skills and fine tune them, that would be fantastic.
I chose the final scene from Legally Blonde. It is short and to the point. It is a great movie.

My expectations from this course is to learn and enrich my learning methods regarding oral skills which I can use throughout my lessons with my students.

I live in Zichron Yaakov. In my high school we were required to take a public speaking course .. but that was 30 years ago. I want to learn some tools to help students feel more confident to speak English and to make persuasive arguments. I want to know more about how to grade students for their participation in debates. One of my all time favorite speeches is MLK's I Have a Dream speech. I could watch it again and again....]]> 2021-09-13 14:31:39 UTC https://padlet.com/lnlearnonet/8z1jjlymh0tkhyke/wish/1736292310 Andreea Bar-Yakar https://padlet.com/lnlearnonet/8z1jjlymh0tkhyke/wish/1736481965 I am from Hod Hashaaron.

A great oration movie that I watch repeatedly is A Few Good Men, where Jack Nicholson and Tom Cruise's courtroom scenes are spellbinding.]]> 2021-09-13 19:34:44 UTC https://padlet.com/lnlearnonet/8z1jjlymh0tkhyke/wish/1737220199 Aliza Masturov Zur https://padlet.com/lnlearnonet/8z1jjlymh0tkhyke/wish/1737341670 I am from Petach Tikva.

I hope that the course will put my scattered knowledge of the subject in order and help me to transfer it to kids. My question is how to teach the kids to be good listeners because I am sure that a good listener makes a good speaker.
