Fostering elementary school children's public speaking skills: A randomized
controlled trial
Mastering public speaking is a competence which is already required in elementary school. Surprisingly, however, systematic research on the promotion of public speaking competence among elementary school children is
scarce. In order to address this gap, we developed and evaluated a public speaking training for elementary school
children.
Generally, the findings revealed positive effects of medium size for
both the extent of self-perceived public speaking skills and the appropriateness of public speaking skills assessed by external raters. In their
presentations after the course, children participating in the training
showed more appropriate public speaking skills for the dimensions
nonverbal–visual, nonverbal–auditory, and organization, as well as a
better global performance than children of the control group.
