Why should one learn public speaking?

In a world that is becoming increasingly interconnected and communicative, the ability to articulate thoughts and ideas effectively is a valuable asset. Public speaking skills, once considered a domain for adults, are now recognised as an essential skill set that can significantly benefit young children. Here’s why fostering public speaking skills at a young age is crucial for their overall development.

10 April, 2023 CNA News

SINGAPORE: Secondary schools are organising more public speaking activities to prepare students for a revised English oral exam component that will test how well they communicate.
The change is set to kick in for students taking the GCE O-Level and N(A)-Level examinations this year.

The Read Aloud part of the exam will be replaced by the Planned Response component. Students will be given 10 minutes to watch a video clip and plan their response to an accompanying prompt, before delivering a spiel of up to two minutes.
Candidates will be assessed for clear organisation and expression of ideas, as well as language fluency. The Ministry of Education (MOE) said this is a more authentic assessment of students’ oracy skills.
