如今,無論是升學(xué)考試、等級測評,還是學(xué)生會競選、職場晉升,都需要通過大大小小的演講來進(jìn)行選拔。演講,也可以說是大部分人通往成功路上不可或缺的武器。
絕大部分父母早就意識到,孩子僅僅擁有出色的閱讀和寫作能力,已經(jīng)遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)不夠,社會對演講能力的要求也越來越高。但是,連成年人都會感到懼怕的公開演講,對于孩子而言,讓他們在同學(xué)或老師面前演講,更是一項(xiàng)極大的挑戰(zhàn)。
我們都知道,無論是大人還是孩子,公開演講對于我們而言,不僅是一項(xiàng)極其重要的技能,更有著巨大的好處。然而,并非每個人都是天生的演說家。即便是成年人,要在觀眾面前演講也有可能緊張得說不出話,更何況孩子呢?
優(yōu)秀的公開演講能力并不是一蹴而就的事情,如果可以從小開始培養(yǎng)孩子的演講能力,那么他將能更好地在公開場合演講而不會感到焦慮,因此越早開始培養(yǎng)孩子公開演講技能越好。
在I CAN READ愛可睿英語的課程中,學(xué)生從3歲開始就有機(jī)會進(jìn)行公開演講,而且他們會很享受在同學(xué)面前演講的過程。我們非常希望能讓你知道,盡早培養(yǎng)孩子的演講能力有多重要,這不僅可以讓你的孩子盡早建立起公開演講的自信心,還可以令他具備成為令人信服的演講者所需的全部技能。
那么從家長的角度來看,怎樣做才能幫助孩子更清晰且自信地在觀眾面前演講呢?以下我們準(zhǔn)備了一些實(shí)用的方法建議。
為“公開演講”改個昵稱
對于孩子而言,“公開演講”這個詞語可能會嚇到他們,那我們何嘗不試著將演講變成一件有趣的事情,并盡力消除他們的恐懼呢?我們可以改個昵稱,不再將其稱為“公開演講”,那么演講就不再會是一件充滿壓力的事情,而是意味著更多地去交流。
在I CAN READ,我們會將演講稱為“分享時刻”。每個學(xué)生都有機(jī)會與老師和同學(xué)分享對他們來說很重要的事情。在他們分享的時候,老師和其他同學(xué)都會給他們一些掌聲以作鼓勵,他們也很喜歡在“分享時刻”時發(fā)言。即便是安靜、不想要分享的演講者,也會在這個時刻敞開心扉暢所欲言,與大家分享自己的心得體會。
練習(xí),練習(xí),再練習(xí)!
孩子會對演講產(chǎn)生恐懼,大多數(shù)其實(shí)是對“不熟悉”的恐懼。如果孩子從小就能通過迷你的戲劇或表演,獲得更多的演講練習(xí)機(jī)會,那么演講對他們來說早已習(xí)慣成自然,他們對自己的演講思維和英語水平也會有足夠的把握和自信,就不至于因過度緊張而害怕公開演講。
對于提高公開演講能力,不需要過多地學(xué)習(xí)技巧,而是要更多地實(shí)踐演講。如果你的孩子已經(jīng)是I CAN READ的學(xué)生,家長可以讓孩子為我們的“分享時刻”做練習(xí)準(zhǔn)備,或者可以每周在家再來一次家庭版的“分享時刻”,讓孩子在家也能通過英文演講分享自己的所見所聞。久而久之,你將會親眼見證他們的自信心不斷提高。
給孩子更多的正向反饋
在孩子剛開始進(jìn)行演講訓(xùn)練的時候,出現(xiàn)一些錯誤是很常見的。如果家長總是抓著孩子的錯誤不放,孩子從心理上會更害怕說錯,以至于不能自信地表達(dá)。因此家長可以先將心態(tài)放松,原諒孩子演講時的不完美,讓孩子首先學(xué)會自信地演講。
同時,我們不能低估正向反饋的重要性,當(dāng)孩子演講時感到焦慮不安,我們可以為他們加油鼓氣。隨著孩子更多的積累和鍛煉后,孩子的演講水平將會逐漸提高,更重要的是在一次又一次的演講積累中,他們能鍛煉出自信,在未來的某一天,你將會發(fā)現(xiàn),公開演講對他們來說是一件很容易的事。
Help Your Child Become A Better Public Speaker
In recent years curriculum developers and exam practitioners have started placing more significance on spoken English and it’s about time. It is no longer enough to just have excellent reading and writing skills, the bar has been set high for speaking too.
This means that increasingly your child will have to speak in front of peers and teachers. This is not bad thing by any means, but it can be a daunting and scary prospect for some children.
We all know the benefits of public speaking are huge, it is an extremely important skill for both adults and children alike. However not everyone is a natural born orator. Having to speak in front of an audience scares most people. Most adults are likely to say it scares them and they wish they had acquired the necessary skills earlier. Imagine how it may be for a child? Especially if they are inclined towards being shy. However if this crucial skill is learned in childhood you can help children avoid anxiety about speaking in public. Thus, the sooner you start teaching your child public speaking skills the better.
At I Can Read we absolutely reinforce the idea you start early to ensure your child can build their confidence over time and develop the skills they need to become an eloquent speaker. We start our public speaking sessions with learners as young as three years old and they love it. From your own perspective though you are most probably wondering what you can do to help your child to speak clearly and with confidence? We are here to happy to help with some tips.
For Starters, Don’t call it “Public Speaking”
The words “Public Speaking” can scare children, so why not remove the fear and make it fun? Call it something else and it becomes less about stress and more about communicating. For example at I Can Read we call it “Talk Time”. Each student takes an opportunity to share something that’s important to them with their teacher and classmates. They are encouraged and applauded and they relish in this time to speak. Even the quietest and most reluctant of speakers opens up, speaks and shares.
Practise, Practise, Practise.
When it comes to public speaking it’s a case of less study and more practise. Let’s get them actually speaking. By doing less study and by more practical application they will build more confidence and the fear will melt away. Have mini-plays or performances. If your child is already enrolled in I Can Read get them to practise for “Talk Time” or better yet recreate it after their weekly trip to I Can Read. You’ll watch their confidence soar right before your eyes.
Give Your Child lots of Positive Feedback
Hesitation and anxiety is not uncommon as your child may find it unnerving to voice his or her opinions in front of others, but if they know they have someone cheering them along it really helps. We cannot underestimate the importance of positive feedback and you’ll see that public speaking will get easier for them over time.
