ESB Graded Examinations in Speech Teacher Guidance: Intermediate

For further guidance about how to read aloud to an audience, please watch this  video: 

Below are Ɵps in relaƟon to Open Exchange of Ideas:

 Ask students to think about potenƟal areas of enquiry or interest when preparing for their assessment. This will help them to respond confidently.  Encourage students to jusƟfy answers with evidence when responding to a quesƟon. This will help persuade the audience to their way of thinking.  Encourage students to develop a two‐way discussion with the audience. Here, they could ask the audience a quesƟon or two to keep the discussion flowing.  Always encourage students to ask open‐ended quesƟons. QuesƟons should seek addiƟonal informaƟon or put forward a different viewpoint in a construcƟve way.  SomeƟmes, a quesƟon can put students under pressure. If they are not sure about an answer, it is completely acceptable to admit that. Rather than giving a confused response, it is beƩer to say something along the lines of: ‘That’s an interesƟng quesƟon. Unfortunately, I don’t know the answer to it, but I’m certainly going to look into it.’
