From Communication Apprehension to Relaxation
and Emotion: How Including Indian Content in Speeches Facilitates Delivery
This OER will describe the journey of
students taking the Public Speaking class at Aaniiih Nakoda College during the
2006-2014 period. In this OER I share lesson plans as well as best
practices learned, and how the inclusion of Indian content helped students to
conquer their fear of public speaking and to share their sentiments about
topics that mattered to them.
