Individual Speaking

Students build confidence and eloquence through structured speech training in both English and Chinese. From delivering formal English speeches to inspiring TED-style talks, they learn how to organize ideas clearly, use storytelling techniques to engage audiences, and develop strong stage presence. This component emphasizes voice projection, body language, and persuasive communication, ensuring students can express themselves with clarity and impact in academic, social, and professional settings.

Group Debate

Through exposure to World Schools debate and Chinese debate formats, students strengthen critical thinking, logic, and teamwork. They practice research, evidence-based argumentation, and rebuttal strategies while learning to collaborate under pressure. Debate sessions not only enhance persuasive speaking, but also teach students to consider multiple perspectives, respond respectfully, and construct well-reasoned arguments—skills essential for leadership and problem-solving in today’s interconnected world.
