Sumario:This manual has been developed with the aim of disseminating foundational knowledge on Public Speaking(PS),as well asequipping future professionals with the necessary skills to communicate effectively in a variety of everyday academic and professional contexts.In contemporary society, both within organisational settings and in personal interactions, it is increasingly necessary to articulate ideas, convey messages, and present projects in a coherent and persuasive manner. Effective communication requires adherence to certain principles, coupled with creative strategies that ensure clarity and impact. The nature of the audience ultimately dictates the appropriate timing, content, and form of communication.Nevertheless, PS remains a source of discomfort for many individuals, whether the purpose is to inform, coordinate, persuade, or argue convincingly,based on truthful and logical reasoning. Fortunately, a range of techniques and strategies can be acquired to overcome such discomfort and to enhance one’s communicative competence.This manual addresses these challenges and explores various other dimensions of this essential area of knowledge.Upon completion of this manual, and through the application of its contents, learners will be able to:• Sustain and effectively manage audience attention throughout a presentation; • Minimise or conceal outward signs of stress when speaking in public; • Design, structure, and deliver effective public speeches.More specifically, learners will be able to:• Express ideas in a fluent, reasoned, and systematic manner, both in oral and written forms;• Develop collaborative skills related to the collection, analysis, systematisation, and interpretation of information; • Organise and structure data to construct coherent and purposeful speeches; • Distinguish between, and appropriately utilise, the three main types of speech; • Apply communication strategies in individual and group-based projects or activities; • Enhance the ability to synthesise and formulate conclusions; • Critically analyse public speeches delivered by others; • Demonstrate readiness to receive, process, and integrate feedback during and after public presentations.
