课程简介
演讲可大可小；小到日常课堂上的一次作业展示、学生组织的竞选演说、甚至是被邀请向全校发表毕业感言；大到媒体发布、引领社会活动和思潮、甚至改变全球认知和局势——如何在或纵横捭阖、或和风细雨的表达之间，通过演说，用话语的力量来实现自己的目标，演讲之道绝对是成功的人生不可不知、不可不会的顶级技能之一。但同时，对很多人来说公众演说可能也是最令人望而却步的技能。
本课程正是针对演讲技能进行全方位设计，通过系统的课堂学习活动、针对性指导和细致入微的实战训练，让学生建立如何组织语言、如何创作打磨演讲文稿，如何一步步克服恐惧心理、如何运用声音语调的节奏和抑扬顿挫、如何利用视觉辅助效果、如何掌动态肢体语言、以及如何全面有效达到预期效果的实用策略储备。
课程包括5次演讲核心技能讲述及5次强化巩固练习，每周学生都会有针对其提高演讲术的写作与演说作业。涉及演说技能主题包括：
- 剖析讲稿内容
- 突出演讲主线
- 解构复杂观点
- 通过语言和视觉材料增强演说效果
- 声效技巧和讲台呈现等。
