Description

Toastmasters International (TM), a nonprofit organization founded in 1924, uses a global network of clubs to educate leadership, public speaking, and presentation techniques. TM's primary objective is to assist individuals from a variety of backgrounds in developing their leadership, speaking, and communication skills. This presentation's goals are to investigate how this NGO/NPO has been successful in assisting people in becoming better presenters and interlocutors, as well as how comparable strategies might be applied to speaking and presentation courses at the tertiary level in Japan. Some practical examples that can be applied in the classroom will also be shared.
