Extension speaking day
JTAN would like to propose an Extension speaking day on the first weekend of Term 3 in lieu of the normal winter holiday workshop. This will be a full day workshop via Zoom for students to work on their monologue preparation and delivery skills. There will be a brief presentation followed by several rounds of preparation and delivery of set monologue questions covering all 3 prescribed issues. This event will require teacher support to run as it will run in a format similar to the Continuers speaking day. Students will likely be allocated to either a morning or afternoon session and complete 4 monologues with feedback (verbal) from assisting teachers. If you and your students are interested in participating in this workshop, please email by 15th June and JTAN will confirm whether the event can go ahead and provide registrations details.
Places will be strictly limited based on teacher participation. Teachers must participate in order for this event to be held for their students.
