Getting up and speaking to a group of people can be unnerving whoever you are.
Talk About Communication is an engaging confident communication masterclass that will teach and develop the use of structure in presentations, essay writing and exam answers. Students will be taught to identify and use persuasive language techniques to get their message across.

This is a full day workshop aimed at secondary school students. Within this workshop each student will speak in front of their peers, a minimum of three times, while learning core components around visual, vocal and verbal communication .
In addition, these sessions will provide students with core speaking and listening skills, which can be used in all lessons across the curriculum.
“The day increased people’s confidence. I saw some members of my class, who had been reluctant to speak, become empowered to do so. It was great to see members of our class developing a real positivity for talking to other people. The sessions were very practical and helped us to prepare for our English speech.”
“As a school, we are indebted to the Talk The Talk team for their work with our students and our staff. The work with students enabled individuals to grow in confidence in a very short space of time and be proud of their successes. Our staff found the CPD session to be extremely valuable as they were able to share experiences and explore the value of talk.”
