"Art of Public Speaking"

Assalamualaikum wbt.

Today, we learned about "Art of public speaking", presented by Mr. Hisham Ab. Karim. In this class, we've been exposed on how to become a good and effective public speakers, firstly by building our bravery and confidence to speak and stand in front. As for beginning, we start by learned the requirements required in order for someone to become a good public speaker. Some of the requirements are ones must be able to organize their speech, speak confidently and use proper language. Apart from that, it is crucial to choose an interesting subject in order to attract the attention of the listeners.

Other than that, we also learned about various elements that need to be fulfilled to become an effective public speakers. The elements are as follow :

• Volume (not to be too loud or too soft)
• Rate (not too fast or too slow)
• Emphasis (needed to stress on some keywords)
• Articulation
• Organization
• Word choices

In the evening, we have a group presentation where each group was provided with one item and they must elaborate it in dramatization. I found it really hilarious and some acting talents had been discovered among the participants and it's really an enjoyable session. Followings are some comments given by Mr. Hisham and Ms. Nani :

• some participants still too shy to open their mouth
• work out more on pronunciation of certain words
• try to reduce the usage of fillers
• avoid to look and depend on the script
• don't show your back to the audiences
• build up the confidence in the future

Lastly, the most important thing to become an effective public speaker is to listen, learn and practice to speak. Practice make perfect. And these are some best shots that I able to take during the session. That's all for now. Thank you.
