Le Centre de Recherches Anglophones

The purpose of this one-day conference is to bring together scholars in order to foster a constructive, interdisciplinary (e.g. linguistics, education sciences, discourse analysis, sociology, anthropology, communication sciences) and cross-cultural debate on the types of concepts, approaches and skills which deserve attention - and which may warrant further attention by educational policy makers - in the context of the teaching of public speaking and oratory skills in all its forms (speech, debating, other types of digital public speaking with a live or asynchronous audience, according to specific academic or professional cultures) in the contemporary context.

Call for papers
