Abstract
This workshop will discuss the design and implementation of a persuasive
speaking course at Mahidol University International College, Bangkok,
Thailand. The original design was based on the need to offer advanced
speaking skills, courses and to teach debate at a university level. The course has
since evolved to incorporate the use of basic psychology and audience analysis
to increase the persuasiveness of speakers regarding questions of fact, policy
and value. As evaluation of presentations is a subjective matter, this course
uses point specific assessment forms which are an integral aspect of improving
the quality of presentations. This presentation will also discusses some of the
problems associated with changes in course design and effectiveness of CDROM,
DVD, video cameras and internet technologies as tools to demonstrate
strong or weak persuasion strategies.
