This course further develops skills in communication, logic, and reasoning learned in Debate I. Students continue to refine diction, articulation, enunciation, and projection skills while applying more advanced techniques of public speaking. Students also continue to refine researching, argumentation, questioning, and rebuttal skills. Students exhibit personal responsibility through independent learning as they specialize in at least one area of focus (as needed for events). The added emphasis on research and individualized study leads to the development of comprehensive debate skills needed for TFA and national NSDA competitions.
