The general theme for the course is rhetoric according to Aristotle, with the objective of developing a critical sense of language and oral and written production that is informative and persuasive. The programme includes theory on rhetoric and historical and fictional speeches to ensure a variety of exposure to different techniques and examples of rhetoric, and promote familiarization with speech writing technique. Some of this work is done independently and students can choose an area of study. The programme also includes incremental exercises to develop skills to write and deliver a speech in public in a persuasive manner.
