A group of first-year students successfully completed a two-day course in public speaking organised by the Department of English, in collaboration with the English Speaking Union (Malta). Ms Pia Zammit, a specially-trained ESU coach, guided students through the techniques needed to deliver speeches persuasively, focusing on choice of words and adequate use of body, voice, face and eyes. The students researched contemporary issues and prepared speeches in preparation for the annual National Public Speaking competition for sixth forms to be held later on in the academic year.
