Speech Training

The speech training programme at the Heidelberg University of Education prepares students for the diverse communicative demands of the teaching profession. In practical seminars, participants practise basic techniques of oral communication, focussing on voice, articulation, body language and presence in the classroom. The aim is to achieve a clear, effective and authentic way of speaking in everyday teaching situations and successful dialogue in school situations.

Do you sometimes find it difficult to speak freely, loudly and confidently in front of other people? Would you like to meet new people and get to know your voice better?

→ Then you've come to the right place!

In this tutorial, you can discover the potential of your voice and develop it further for you personally and for the teaching profession. In many practical exercises, we will look at topics such as breathing, body expression and articulation. As a participant, you will be able to develop an authentic presence that suits your own personality over the course of the semester.

All you need is the desire and joy of trying things out in order to explore and improve your voice and the way you speak.
