I was also given the opportunity to coach students who were preparing for a reading and recitation contest, and I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. It allowed me to focus on teaching them the finer points of oral presentation, such as correct pronunciation, proper pausing, intonation, diction, and even how to use gestures and maintain eye contact.
Coaching these students was not just about improving their English skills but also about building their confidence and stage presence. It was incredibly rewarding to see them grow and develop their abilities over time.
I believe that competitions like these are valuable for students as they provide a platform to showcase their talents and build important skills such as public speaking and confidence. I am grateful for the opportunity to coach these students and contribute to their growth and development.
