Techniques of Persuasion in Business Presentations
Type “D” training 4x5 classes in the project week (16-20 March 2021)
The language of instruction is English
Your style, your impact: argue and convince your audience like a professional
Training objectives:
The objective of the practice-oriented, interactive training is to familiarize students with the structure and delivery of business presentations and provide them with a basic background to rhetorics. The training will give participants the opportunity to learn techniques and develop skills of argumentation and persuasion. Following the theoretical foundations of a given topic, students will practice public speaking in individual and pair assignments. They will research, outline and deliver speeches, as well as act as critics of their own, fellow students’, and TED and other successful speakers’ work. Analyzing the video of their own speech products can help participants develop their skills through self-evaluation. All participants will receive feedback on their performance from each other and the instructor.
Basic pillars of the teaching method:
• trainer instead of teacher: helps the student individually, provides coach-oriented personal counselling and assessment
• flipped classroom method
• self-assessment based on video recording
• self-revision

The Dispoint Office provides effective help for those with language learning problems, for example by launching a special language course “English Differently”. The course is based on three pillars: skills development, learning methodological knowledge and grammatical systematization. During the lessons, we develop the abilities and skills needed to learn a language, everyone can learn about their own learning style, discover the most effective learning methods for them, and we will also review the most important grammatical topics.
