On March 6, 2018 Robin Changarathil CTM and Kerrianne Koehler-Munro ACB, ALB delivered a workshop on Providing Effective Evaluation to English as Second Language Speakers in Toastmasters. Techniques and strategies for delivering evaluation to an English as a Second Language (ESL) speaker in Toastmasters were shared amongst the 19 attendees. Robin clearly defined what a non-native speaker and an ESL speaker is. He also spoke about accents versus pronunciation and recommended the manual, ‘Your Speaking Voice’ from Toastmasters International as a great resource. Kerrianne described the difference between advice and feedback and the importance of using the two evaluation techniques. It was a great workshop and the objective was met in that the attendees felt more confident in delivering evaluations to ESL speakers.
Our next meeting is March 20, 2018 at Riverbend Retirement Living by Revera at 103 Rabbit Hill Court (Road) at 7 - 8:30 pm.
