Two New Syllabuses
Professional Speaking 2010
We have finalised our exciting new Professional Speaking syllabus, a three-level programme which will take the place of our Vocational Speaking syllabus. Professional Speaking presents an opportunity for all teachers who are interested in taking up the challenge of teaching this new syllabus and presenting their students for examination.
This is an important advance for Speech New Zealand and we hope it will extend the reach and profile of our organisation. The new syllabus contains a number of new concepts which we are confident will ensure this is a flexible syllabus that is relevant and applicable to a wide range of workplaces.
The syllabus continues to offer three levels; Introductory, Certificate and the Advanced Certificate has been upgraded to a Diploma.
This is an opportunity for teachers to extend their teaching programmes with adults and into the workplace.
Theatre In Action
There are now 10 levels from Initial to Advanced Certificate, which equate in standards to the levels in the Speech and Drama syllabus.
With this syllabus students acquire a valuable arsenal of life skills in addition to the drama skills.
Students are developing skills in:
thinking, reflecting, discussion, creating mind maps, negotiating and relating with others as they problem solve and participate in team activities.
The drama skills are all there too:
acting, using scripts, devising pieces, exploring genre and developing understanding of the processes and techniques used - all the elements and conventions.
