'Out loud! How to prepare your students for the Hong Kong Speech Festival workshops'

To better prepare students for the Hong Kong Speech Festival, Oxford University Press organized four workshops in October to provide teachers with coaching tips and practical strategies to get ready for the event. Our guest speaker was Ms Tanya Kempston, lecturer of the Faculty of Education of University of Hong Kong and adjudicator of various categories for the Hong Kong Speech Festival.
 
Ms Kempston shared her experience in preparing for both choral speaking and solo verse speaking in the workshops. She suggested some dos and don’ts when performing the pieces and invited teachers to join her in practising speaking out loud.
 
The workshops received notable support from teachers. The audience found Ms Kempston’s sharing very practical.
 
Here are some snapshots of the workshops.
