Building on our initial exploration of presentation skills this past March, we’re teaming up again with JALT PIE SIG to take a deeper dive into public speaking. Our Main video focuses on developing children’s speaking skills in school settings. In the More podcast episode, Kathy Brooke discusses ways people can build confidence when speaking in public. Then, Heather Kretschmer introduces the Think Tank.
In the Think Tank, Gordon Rees explains how he used radio drama and presentation activities to bring reading to life in his class. Next, David Kluge shares a gradual approach to lengthening presentations, making the presentation experience more manageable for students. Harumi Kimura reflects on her observation of an elementary school teacher who effectively presented herself to her class in different ways, both as teacher and language learner. Finally in our Plus, Mirela C. C. Ramacciotti takes us on a historical journey, highlighting the contributions of Charles Darwin, John Dewey, and Lisa Feldman Barrett, who have shaped our understanding of emotions.
