Let's learn at the meeting!
We hold meetings on Sunday morning twice a month. We practice and learn skills by filling various meeting roles, ranging from giving a prepared or impromptu speech or serving as timer, evaluator, or grammarian.
There is no instructor; instead, each speech and meeting is critiqued by a fellow member in a positive manner, focusing on what was done right and what could be improved.
All those skills are learned in the Toastmasters high-level educational program given to each member.
日曜日の朝、月二回例会を開いています。
例会では様々な役割を分担します。スピーチをする人、即興の質問に答える人、或いはスピーチのタイムを計る人やグラマーをチェックする人、スピーチを評論する人等。先生がいるのではなく、お互いのスピーチや役割をメンバー同士で良い点やより向上すべき点等を積極的に評価し合います。
この様なスキルは会員一人一人に配られるトーストマスターズ独自の高水準の教育マニュアルで学ぶことができます。
