LET's Stand - Student Workbook - Secondary
LET’s Stand is an oral language, public speaking and communication programme designed to enhance students’ oracy skills so they can communicate with confidence and conviction. The 40-hour structured programme facilitates the explicit development of speaking and listening skills in students, which are essential for success in both learning and life.
To develop public speaking / oracy competency, students require regular opportunities to practise the skills of listening, evaluating and speaking. The Junior Cycle and Transition Year offer the ideal space to develop these skills in a supportive environment where students are encouraged to learn about, practise and build the 12 skills which contribute to effective communication. Public speaking is a transferable skill that supports a student’s self-image and overall wellbeing.
The programme includes an interactive student workbook and supporting detailed teacher manual with links to famous speeches from inspiring individuals.
