June 14-16, 2007This 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.engMahidol UniversityDesign and implementation of a persuasive speakingAdvanced speaking skillsTeach debateEffectiveness of CD-ROM, DVDVideo cameras and internet technologiesProceeding Book
