At our International School in Granada, we believe that oral expression is a fundamental competency for our students’ academic and personal development. For this reason, working on speaking skills is not an isolated task, but rather a practice that is progressively integrated into daily classroom life.
Many students feel insecure when speaking in front of their peers. In our Granada school, we approach this challenge from a positive perspective, creating an environment where mistakes are understood as part of the learning process and where confidence and self-assurance are nurtured.
Oral presentations allow students to organize their ideas, structure their speeches, and express themselves clearly. Through these activities, students develop communication skills, learn to articulate correctly, and improve their ability to synthesize information.
For students to gain confidence, it is essential that they feel heard and respected. At our secondary school in Granada, we strive to ensure the classroom is a space where every student can express themselves without fear, reinforcing self-esteem and mutual respect.
Public speaking involves knowing how to convey a message, but also how to listen to others. These activities foster active listening, respect for turn-taking, and the valuing of others’ ideas, strengthening the social harmony of the classroom.
Our teaching staff guides and supports students throughout this process, offering clear guidelines and constructive feedback. This role of accompaniment fosters a positive and motivating learning atmosphere where students feel supported.
Knowing how to speak in public is a key skill for later stages, both academic and professional. Working on it in the classroom helps students navigate interviews, debates, or presentations with ease, reinforcing their autonomy and communication skills.
In a bilingual school in Granada, oral expression becomes even more significant. Speaking in different languages within real-world contexts allows for the consolidation of linguistic learning and builds communication security, expanding our students’ opportunities.
Gaining confidence in public speaking has a direct impact on how students relate to themselves and others. In our Granada institute, we treat this competency as part of a holistic education that prepares students to face new challenges with confidence.
