Public speaking course in English Combines advanced training in the art of speaking together with building fluency and self-confidence in the English language. the course Intended for Israelis with reasonable English (meaning - not a native language) who need to perform in front of an audience in English.
The course is based on the assimilation of English through a large amount of practice in front of an audience under close guidance. The practice is possible thanks to relatively long lessons (4 hours per session) in which full assimilation in English is achieved.
Practice is based on speaking in front of an audience in a variety of simulations from the business world - committee discussions, teamwork, presentations, negotiations, debates and more. Each exercise includes a theoretical explanation of persuasion techniques and the manners accepted abroad in this field. After that, all participants practice in front of an audience (no excuses and no evasions), and after each exercise each participant receives detailed personal feedback with recommendations for improvement for next time.

This lesson covers all the theoretical material of the course in a single session. | |
