• What is the focus of your public speaking program?

Our public speaking program aims to unleash children's hidden potential by providing them with a platform to shine onstage. Our public speaking syllabus follow Trinity College London assessment criteria whereby students may opt to sit for the examination. We also apply play-based teaching methods in our class as we believe children learn best when they have fun. Our classes cater to ages 7-9, 10-12 and 13-16. We are going by grades and each grade consists of 12 weeks/3 months.
 

•  How does your public speaking program work?

Our public speaking program is designed to gradually build your child's confidence and communication skills through a structured, engaging curriculum. By Grade 4 (1 year) of the program, you will notice that your child can confidently speak in front of a large audience, improve their critical thinking skills, and deliver a 2-minute speech without memorizing, using only main points to structure their speech. We achieve this through interactive lessons and activities, guided by our experienced instructors. Our program also incorporates original worksheets, specifically developed to teach and reinforce key public speaking concepts, ensuring your child's comprehensive and enjoyable learning experience.

 

• How long is your program?

Our program is continuous. We evaluate our students' success on a long term basis because we believe the art of public speaking cannot be mastered completely in a very short amount of time. From experience, students may start showing positive changes after joining our classes for 2 grades or in the span of 6 months. In this developing period, our students will gradually be better in speaking as well as improve their confidence level. 

​

• What are they learning in your weekly class?
  In our weekly classes, children engage in a dynamic learning experience tailored to their individual growth. Each session begins with fun games and interactive warm-ups to create an engaging atmosphere. Children then delve into their own specific topics, guided by our worksheets. These topics are designed to develop their public speaking skills while fostering creativity and confidence. Throughout the class, they practice organizing their thoughts, delivering speeches, and receiving constructive feedback, all aimed at enhancing their communication abilities. At the end, the children are required to film and present a speech in front of the class. Our goal is to make learning enjoyable and impactful, equipping children with essential skills that extend beyond the classroom.
   

• What are the coaches’ qualifications?

All our coaches are highly qualified from backgrounds such as TESL and English Literature. They have a great command of the language and are very fluent in their speeches. One top of that, some of them acquired Toastmasters qualifications and even joined the World's Scholars Cup.
 

• What is your syllabus?

Our syllabus is structured around our original worksheets, which align with the Trinity College London assessments in Communication Skills. This comprehensive approach ensures that students develop a solid foundation in public speaking and communication. Our curriculum covers various aspects such as speech delivery techniques, vocal modulation, body language, persuasive communication, and critical thinking skills. Through structured lessons and practice activities, students gain proficiency in articulating their ideas effectively and confidently in both formal and informal settings.
 

• How many students are in a class?

We have a small group size with a ratio of 1 coach to 6 students in a class that allows the coach to guide every student adequately and equally.

​

• Is there any event that allows the students to showcase their public speaking skills?

Yes, absolutely. Every month, we strive to conduct a premium showcase with a collaboration with a third party sponsor. Each student is also obligated to join our Foundation Appraisal session at the end of their term/grade which is held during every monthly showcase. Furthermore, we organise a number of events such as mini showcases, competitions and speech contests. The events allow every single student to speak on stage and they most likely happen in a public place setting like auditorium and shopping mall or other venue that is deemed suitable by our team. Students are encouraged to be exposed to as many public speaking events as possible to strengthen their confidence as well as experience.

​

• How soon can I enrol my child in the program?​

We are practising a batchless system where we count by the number of classes your child has attended. There is a distinctive and independent topic in each weekly class, hence students won’t have to go through the earlier topic to be able to follow the later topic. Therefore, students don’t need to start from the beginning of the year and they can start their class with us at any time.
 

• Do you have any programmes during the school holiday?

Yes, we have school holiday programmes available at our Subang Taipan HQ. To know more about the programmes, you may contact our Ebright Marketing team (+60 16-835 0868) for further details.​

• Do you have native speaking coaches?
