::::: Class Report on April 11th,
2015 ::::: 【学LEARN】Business Culture Class (BCC) 03 "Public speaking"
17 participants got together and enjoyed playing a coin game for breaking a
little ice and did a heated discussion for 2 hours! The difference of public
speaking between English and Japanese after watching videos President Obama and
Prime Minister Abe speech on the economy as follows;
*** Japanese vs. English *** ・ Professional vs. Friendly ・ Scripted vs. Using own words ・ Gestures vs. Stoic ・ Conceptual vs. Contextual and so on
Some attendees pointed out that those differences
above are mostly influenced by culture, audience and purpose of public speaking and so on. In
group exercise, we practiced public speech to promote odd/funny objects (e.g.
baby mop, wine glass holder necklace, bear sleeping bag etc) in groups. One
person from each group gave public speech in front of us! All groups prepared a
great story of object and performed very well. Great jobs!
We would appreciate to all participants who attended our
class and to Kevin with great facilitation and all preparations for us! We hope
all of you had a fruitful afternoon!
We are looking forward to seeing you at next BCC class on Saturday May 16th! Written by Jojo |
