Teachers often tell students to speak up, be clear, don't mumble, etc. But speaking clearly is an art that needs to be taught and practised, especially in the context of a school where students are more often told to sit still and be quiet (even by the same teacher).
This workshop will introduce a few simple techniques that teachers can use to help their students speak as clearly as possible.
