Debate and Argument Skills

Description

Debate is a skill built on structure, and seven PDF lessons start with how a debate is organized. You then learn to build strong arguments with evidence, recognize and avoid common fallacies and develop persuasive speaking techniques.

The later lessons cover cross-examination, creating rebuttals and counterarguments and practical application in real-world scenarios. After reading, you will be able to plan an argument, test it for weak points and respond to a challenge calmly. Exercises appear in every lesson, and a checklist is included in some. The lessons are ordered from structure to delivery, so you can practise each stage before the next.

Who it is for: students of public speaking and professionals who want to argue a position clearly and fairly.
