ESB Garded Examinations in Speech Teacher Gudiance: Advanced

Below are Ɵps in relaƟon to QuesƟons and Discussion:

 Ask students to think about potenƟal areas of enquiry or interest when preparing for their assessment. This will help them to not get caught out cold by a quesƟon.  Encourage students to jusƟfy responses to quesƟons with both quanƟtaƟve and qualitaƟve evidence. Using knowledge based on research to extend answers will help persuade the audience to their way of thinking.  Reassure students that it is acceptable to modify previously held views. It is important that students don’t feel defensive or anxious when responding to quesƟons. ReflecƟng and evaluaƟng another’s viewpoint is an important skill, and is part of a thoughƞul and balanced discussion.  Encourage students to take a lead in the discussion where appropriate by being proacƟve. Here, they should look to involve all members of the group in a dialogue.  Always encourage students to ask open‐ended quesƟons. QuesƟons should seek addiƟonal informaƟon, put forward a different viewpoint or challenge thinking in a construcƟve way.
