Teaching children the most important skill: speaking clearly

About this course

First let me say that I am passionate about clear speech. I truly believe that it is one of the most important skills we can teach not only our children but any adult who has social anxiety. I have been teaching children (and adults) how to speak clearly since 1994 and I have entered hundreds of pupils for exams in spoken English, speaking verse and prose, interview technique, acting, Shakespeare, reading aloud for performance and public speaking to name a few. I am qualified to the highest level - Fellowship, and I have written for magazines world wide and also taught people from over 30 countries.This course teaches you how to teach mainly young children to speak with more confidence and clarity. With this knowledge you could start lessons up yourself either in your own home, or a local hall. I have created the lesson plans so that the parents stay with the children, this makes it less stressful for you and the parent can then practise with the child at home. However you may find that you would like to teach these sessions at a playschool, nursery or child daycare centre and that is possible as well.You may already be a teacher or teaching assistant and these lesson plans and the knowledge learned in this course will help make you a much better teacher.Downloads included with this course:  Training Manual - ebookLesson plans (for young children) for the first year, 35 lessons to be split over 3 terms.22 pictures to be used with the lesson plans.Lesson plans (for older children) - 9 lessons.A list of 40 topics suitable for giving a talkSpeak Up SyllabusMark sheetPoems which can be used - copyright free, with childrenQuestions to be answered at the end of each module, to qualify for the  'Speak Up Academy' certificate 75% pass rate is needed in each module.
