Enrichment in Speech Communication

Enrichment in Speech Communications is designed for students who have completed Introduction to Speech and wish to further develop their public speaking and performance skills. This advanced course reinforces and refines foundational techniques while expanding students’ abilities in competitive speaking formats. Students will prepare for and participate in intra-scholastic contests including Forensics, Student Congress, Lincoln-Douglas Debate, and/or Policy Debate, gaining experience in argumentation, interpretation, and formal presentation. Emphasis is placed on advanced delivery strategies, critical thinking, and audience awareness. Through practice, performance, and peer critique, students build confidence and versatility as communicators in academic and competitive settings.
