    Instructor: Maliha Nasir

  • We started this course in 2022 as a way to overcome COVID induced asocial behavior, aloofness and shyness. Since then, children, parents and teachers have demanded to continue with this for very distinct reasons of their own. Notwithstanding that, the art of conversation and dialogue is becoming extinct with more people interacting through 140 characters, WhatsApp forwards and Insta reels. Contrary to social trends, proper oral and written communication is central to any professional engagement, marked as essential skill for 21st century successful workforce. Good communication is not just about language, you may be fluent in English but may not know the appropriate expressions or polite manner of talking to your peers, elders or people of different age groups. Also, you may feel that shy that despite having a cogent argument, you may not be able to speak up in front of everyone.

    Through activities, debates, research games and drills, this course aims to build your knowledgebased presence of mind and confidence to speak up in a group of strangers or other professional and social settings. Maliha Nasir is a trained International Baccalaureate Early Years teacher with over 10 years’ experience with various educational institutions including IVS. She used to be marketing professional and that practice and confidence is what she inculcates in everyone she teaches. She will ensure you are comfortable talking to anyone about anything, in small groups or in front of a stage.
