Let's Stand Student Workbook

LETs Stand is an oral language, public speaking and communication programme designed to enhance students oracy skills so they can communicate with confidence and conviction. The 40-hour structured programme facilitates the explicit development of speaking and listening skills in students, which are essential for success in both learning and life. To develop public speaking / oracy competency, students require regular opportunities to practise the skills of listening, evaluating and speaking. The Junior Cycle and Transition Year offer the ideal space to develop these skills in a supportive environment where students are encouraged to learn about, practise and build the 12 skills which contribute to effective communication. Public speaking is a transferrable skill that supports a students self-image and well-being. Schools may wish to use the programme to support student well-being.
