Oratory And Debate Club

The Oratory and Debate Club of Arafa College of arts and science provides a common platform for eloquent and talented students to showcase their abilities which in turn leads to enhancing self-confidence and character building.This academic year, the club conducted weekly classes for developing the public speaking skills of the students. The club organized various competitions and debates focusing on the improvement of communicative ability.

The way a speech is given has greater impact than the words spoken. So, every class began with a warm up exercise of asking each student to read with a voice inflexion on the capitalized word from a given passage. Through communication, brainstorming body language and expressing corresponding meanings, emotions through eyes and voice, they get a real experience on how body language, posture and voice tones convey the message much more than words.

The members of the Oratory Club leave in opportunity to various world famous declamations and speeches, which help them to gain confidence. The student members recognized about the probability, time frame, and magnitude of their performances through various public speaking games and debate exercises conducted on every week. Through continuous practice, members learned how to control their nervousness and make that energy to improve their speeches.
