What is Debating?
A debate is a structured argument. Two sides speak alternately for and against a particular contention usually based on a topical issue.
Why debate?
It is an excellent way of improving speaking skills and is particularly helpful in providing experience in developing a convincing argument.
The Basic Debating Skills
Style
Style is the manner in which you communicate your arguments. This is the most basic part of debating to master. Content and strategy are worth little unless you deliver your material in a confident and persuasive way.
Clarity
The ability to concisely and clearly express complex issues is what debating is all about. The main reason people begin to sound unclear is usually because they lose the “stream of thought” which is keeping them going. It is also important to keep it simple. While long words may make you sound clever, they may also make you incomprehensible.
Content
Content is what you actually say in the debate. The arguments used to develop your own side’s case and rebut the opposite side’s.
In this lesson you will learn how to:
- - give your opinion
- - ask for clarification
- - clarify your point of view
- - agree (strongly and/or mildly)
- - disagree (strongly and/or mildly)
- - find common ground
During the lesson you will be able to practise the learnt expressions while we debate a wide range of topics.
