Speaking in public isn’t easy for most people, and if English isn’t your first or second language, it might be even more challenging. Designed specifically for non-native English speakers, this course provides practical strategies and techniques to increase clarity and confidence when communicating in English.

He covers strategies to identify and reduce accent bias, plus specific techniques to increase understandability and generate confidence. Dr. Novak presents a step-by-step guide on how to score a script for delivery, so you can focus on making a better connection with the audience. Strengthen your delivery and build your confidence with these easily integrated approaches to public speaking.
