Speak3: Speak Freely Breakthrough Workshop
Course Description
The Speak3: Speak Freely Breakthrough Workshop is an engaging 2-hour session, supported by research in language acquisition and physical movement, designed to help participants conquer their fear of speaking English. Through dynamic sporting activities, you will actively participate while counting and expressing yourself in English. For instance, as you bounce a ball ten times, you’ll project your voice confidently, saying, “Let’s bounce: one, two, three…” This interactive approach transforms anxiety into empowerment, allowing you to speak English naturally and assertively. Join us to unleash your voice and speak freely!
