Social English Skills for Networking, Group Interview and Internship

Toastmasters Club Taster Sessions

The Toastmasters Club Taster Sessions have been organised by the College with the assistance of our student coordinators, to encourage College students to improve public speaking skills through peer sharing of tips on oratory, prepared and impromptu speeches and peer evaluation and support. In some of the sessions, Ms Tessa STEWART, Honorary Advisor of the United College Toastmasters Club, joined as General Evaluator to give feedback to participants.

 

A total of seven sessions were held in Term 1, 2018–19, each under a different theme, such as 'Growth', 'Fear', 'Procrastination' and 'Technology, Data and AI'. Another seven sessions are being held in Term 2. They are great occasions for students to improve their oral English and public speaking skills, and to strengthen their bonds with their College mates.
