What you'll learn

Develop confident, fluent, and professional speaking skills for academic, social, and workplace settings.

  • This week builds a strong base for students by helping them understand what effective speaking truly means. Learners explore clarity, tone, pace, and confidence through guided practice. They identify their own speaking barriers and learn simple, practical techniques to overcome hesitation. By the end of Week 1, students become comfortable expressing themselves in short, structured speaking tasks.
  • Week 2 enhances pronunciation accuracy and natural fluency. Students learn the basics of phonetics, sound clarity, word stress, and intonation patterns essential for intelligible speech. Special focus is given to reducing fillers and developing smooth, continuous speech. Through shadowing, retelling, and fluency drills, learners begin to speak more clearly and confidently.
  • This week helps students expand and refine their vocabulary so they can speak more precisely and expressively. Functional, academic, and professional vocabulary is introduced in a practical way. Students learn idioms, useful expressions, and connectors that help them structure longer speeches. By the end of the week, they can apply new words naturally in conversations and short presentations.
  • Week 4 transforms learners from speakers to presenters. Students learn how to structure a speech, engage an audience, and use body language effectively. They prepare short speeches and presentations, practicing delivery techniques such as voice projection, storytelling, and expression. This week builds stage confidence and prepares learners for formal speaking scenarios.
  • This week focuses on real-life communication skills. Students practice turn-taking, small talk, active listening, and polite conversational etiquette. Role-plays, group discussions, and collaborative speaking tasks help them become more confident in social and academic interaction. By the end of Week 5, learners can participate meaningfully in conversations and group tasks.
  • The final week prepares students for real-world professional communication. They learn interview skills, meeting communication, persuasive speaking, and impromptu speech techniques. Through simulations, mock interviews, and formal speaking tasks, students develop the ability to express themselves confidently in workplace situations. The week concludes with a comprehensive speaking assessment and personalized feedback.
