PUBLIC SPEAKING MASTERY - 7 Steps to become a world class speakerSumitKaushik74
Public speaking is a skill in communication
which is valued across business and
personal aspects of life. Many people fear
public speaking, but it is a form of
communication that can add real value to
your personal and business development as
well as building esteem or self worth.
A lack of confidence is
the main cause for people to shy away from
speaking in public. This may hold them back
from progressing in certain aspects of their
life, be it work or personal. Some may hold
off from promotion or certain avenues of
work due the fear of presenting. Confidence
comes as a result of two important factors:
mindset and skillset.
Benefits of good public speaking:
Opens up new career opportunities
for you.
Sets you apart from your
competition
Positions you as an authority.
Improves internal communication.
Establish greater credibility
Increased self-confidence
Increased communication skills
Greater social influence
Enhanced ability to listen
Improved memory
Greater control over emotions and
body language.
Enhanced persuasion ability.
So, it is a very important skill to master for multiple benefits. In this guide we will cover that in 7 easy steps..........

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

3. We live in an age where a deluge of
information comes every day from different
sources – news reports, informative talks,
formal speeches, panel discussions, and the
print media.
Find out if you have the skill to get
information from different sources.
4. Newspapers are very much part of our tradition,
culture, and history. In fact, they are very much
part of our lives. Among students, the newspaper
is a very good source of information, especially so,
for their assignments and research work.
One of the important parts of the newspaper is
the headline, for it carries or banners the most
significant news of the day. As fourth year
students, your skill in determining specific
meaning and information by scanning the
headlines is another study skill you have to
develop.

Questions:
1. What information is given in each of
the headlines?
2. What do you expect to find in the
news stories which the headlines
represent?
3. What do these headlines mean to you?
7. Scan the given headlines and match them with
the following extracts from the news stories.
Write the complete news in one whole sheet of
paper.
1. Neither rain nor flood could keep some of the
country’s top business executives from

10. Ever notice how TV news reporters speak with
such confidence and eloquence? They are able
to deliver a lot of information to a lot people in
a short amount of time. How they do it?
Below are steps you can take to practice and
learn to speak like a television reporter.
11. Watch the news.
Watch the news with intent and doing.
Then, notice what she/he is not saying but
telling you with their tone, inflection and non
verbal gestures/body language. Some
questions you can ask yourself as you critically
analyze your subject.
12. What is the reporter saying?
How are they saying it?
What does the reporter’s voice sound like?
Where are their eyes?
Where are their hands?
How do they hold their head and shoulders?
Close your eyes and listen. Notice the
reporter’s voice has inflection; it is not flat. The
reporter sounds excited to report to you. The
reporter tells you what is important, what is
sad, what is exciting, and what you don’t want
to miss, all with their voice, It’s not much what
they’re saying, but how they are saying it.
13. Read
Speaking like a news reporter starts with
having a command of the English language.
The type of book you read matters. Read
information that is similar in style to what a
news reporter delivers on the news. For
example
Biography/historical book
News magazine
Newspaper
14. Look up the words you don’t know. This
will help you understanding the context of
what you’re reading and with word
pronunciation. That way, when you are
reading as a reporter and come across words
you don’t know, you’ll be able to take an
educated guess and sound intelligent.
Read out loud when you are alone. Listen to
your voice and what your tone is saying.
15. Practice speaking and reading aloud
Before you start speaking, do singing and
speaking verbal exercises to loosen your mouth
and tongue. Also clear your throat away from
your audience before you begin.
Take that book or newspaper and read it out
loud to yourself in the mirror. It’s time to really
see and hear yourself. It will take practice in
order to get good at the ability to glance at
written work, capture it quickly, then read it
well while looking straight ahead.
16. Look at what your face is saying as you read.
Reporters have confidence even when they’re
staring at a camera. They believe in what they are
doing and they want to share the breaking story
with the viewer. Your face reflects what you
believe and voice confirms this.
Listen to your speech
Practice reading quickly without stumbling. It’s
important to articulate each word clearly when
you want to communicate information. Each word
should stand on its own and not flow into another
word.
17. Know when to slow down. A reporter will
say,”Coming up next,” very quickly but slow
down when they say,”….and you won’t want
to miss it.”
Learn to read from distance
You’ll often see a reporter with papers in
their hand. You can do this too!
Type up and print a news story that you
want to practice reading. The letters should be
between 1.5” to 2 “ tall and in the sans – serif
font, such as Arial or Helvetica. This will most
accurately reflect the teleprompter type - style
18. Practice reading from distance by placing the
paper(s) on a table while you’re seated or down by
your waist. Learn to read with direction, only at
your papers not reading them verbatim.
Record yourself
Break out the video camera or smart phone and
either record video or audio of yourself.
Play it back and listen closely.
Watch the news and compare your voice to the
reporter’s.
Play your recording back to yourself again. This
is not a time to self criticize yourself; it’s time to see
where you can improve and contemplate how.
19. Challenge yourself
Read something news related that you
haven’t read before. See how you do.
Knowing What to avoid
Avoid speaking in everyday language and
using colloquialisms. The way you speak with
your friends is in direct conflict with the way
you will report the news to a public audience.
Try not to use “um,”ah,”well…” and other
common interjections. At first, you’ll find that
you need to slow you speaking down to avoid
this, but eventually it will become a habit.
20. Prepare a short news story to be reported in
front of the class.
Follow the different steps in presenting a news
report.
Date of your performance will be
September 5, Friday 2014.
