全美總會線上講座 (Feb 18, 2023)

主題:立足當下,改變思維與付諸行動~~如何陪伴美籍華裔學生參賽演講與多媒體簡報競賽

點擊以下連結報名登記

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfzlnM4uyLtMznCb0w0fBnRWeY7YZjKBWVrELnY9slT7enivQ/viewform

主講人：林美華 老師

講師簡介：

加拿大喬治布朗管理學院畢業，現任新澤西州台灣華語文中心老師。投入紐約與新澤西華語文教育逾15年，其中包括校務管理，高年級教學與創辦多個青少年義工團體。曾指導主流高中演講辯論社，亦專業執教中文AP課程與培訓美籍台裔與非華裔青少年中、英文公開演說。全美與新澤西州主流高中演講及辯論聯賽評審 NSDL， NCFL，NJSDL，CFL speech and debate tournament judge。目前亦為ACS美東中文學校協會理事、新澤西州FASCA諮詢導師。從2007年至今，林老師執教與培訓的學生參賽各類才藝競賽人數逾百，並獲得傑出的肯定。她亦將其攝影、文字報導、紀錄片製作、記實記事、主持等經驗，融於深入淺出，與時並進的華語文教學課程中。

課程提綱:

• 定位時下的公開演說形式，方可提供美籍華裔學生正確的培訓需求。
• 學習公開演說的終極目標所為何來？
• 千里之行始於師生親的團隊合作。
• 個人演講比賽與多媒體簡報競賽的相同和不同之處。
• 如何準備比賽～主題與內容，技巧與執行，台風與儀態，自然與自信。
• 他山之石可以為錯～模仿精湛的演說並改進自己的缺失。
• 千錘百鍊，溫故知新，去蕪存菁，只進行有效率的練習。
• 在比賽現場如何面對突發狀況並化危機為轉機？
• 賽後修正與展望，下一站（戰）會更好。

課程內容

• 美籍華裔學生的學校和日常生活與表演方式必須契合。培訓學生以40年前，傳統

的台灣演講方式參賽，是切割學生今後參與各項演說最鋒利的一把刀。「善刀而藏

」意味過時之物，適可而止。

• 凡走過必留下；含淚學習的，必歡呼收穫。練習過程中豐收友情、知識、親情與自

信，學生與家庭，終生受用。

• 指導老師～Coach是教導學生公開演說的靈魂人物，家長承擔著「成也蕭何，敗也

蕭何」的關鍵角色，然而學生卻是團隊中，唯一需要上台演出，獨自面對賽果的一

員。所謂「初生之犢不畏虎」，零基礎的學生最容易被教導，家長的配合度也最高

；所以一個比賽的完成是師生親的共同成就，而榮譽則應盡歸於學生。

演講是original oratory 原創講稿；多媒體簡報是informative speaking 訊息分享。

• 兩者之間對於主題發揮、撰稿內容、表演方式、表演人數的相同與不同處，有「殊

途同歸」亦有「大相逕庭」的準備過程。毋慌亂也毋須懼怕，因為：舜何人予何人

？有為者亦若是！

• 長達數月的準備與練習過程中，如何做到「事半功倍」而不是「人仰馬翻」？「立

竿見影」而非「徒勞無功」？智慧、毅力與勇氣缺一不可。效率與效果是把雙刃刀

，手起刀落之間如何合理運用「雙效」，達到有利無弊的「雙贏」，至為關鍵。

• 主辦單位合理的規則制定與評審的專業素養，亦是決定賽果的要因。陪伴學生參賽

應以『但求無愧己心，豈能善盡人意？』的態度來面對輸贏。只要團隊肯繼續前行

，不斷的捲土重來，終有『守得雲開見月明』的一日。因為參賽即得獎，而獲得名

次就是bonus。學生學到的都是自己的，別人拿不走。

• 賽後檢討是和自己比還是和第一名比？美國隊在世界杯足球賽後，當然是向「阿根

廷」學習，以奪冠2026「美加墨世界杯」為終極目標，而不應以每次「有進步」即

可來劃地自限，learning form the best！

時間: 02/18/2023（星期六）

美東時間晚上七點三十分至九點三十分; 美中六點三十分至八點三十分; 美西四點三十分至六點三十分; 夏威夷下午二點三十分至四點三十分; 臺灣時間 02/19/2023 (星期日)早上八點三十分至十點三十分

全美總會線上講座 (Feb 18, 2023)

主題:立足當下,改變思維與付諸行動~~如何陪伴美籍華裔學生參賽演講與多媒體簡報競賽

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfzlnM4uyLtMznCb0w0fBnRWeY7YZjKBWVrELnY9slT7enivQ/viewform

主講人：林美華 老師

講師簡介：

加拿大喬治布朗管理學院畢業，現任新澤西州台灣華語文中心老師。投入紐約與新澤西華語文教育逾15年，其中包括校務管理，高年級教學與創辦多個青少年義工團體。曾指導主流高中演講辯論社，亦專業執教中文AP課程與培訓美籍台裔與非華裔青少年中、英文公開演說。全美與新澤西州主流高中演講及辯論聯賽評審 NSDL， NCFL，NJSDL，CFL speech and debate tournament judge。目前亦為ACS美東中文學校協會理事、新澤西州FASCA諮詢導師。從2007年至今，林老師執教與培訓的學生參賽各類才藝競賽人數逾百，並獲得傑出的肯定。她亦將其攝影、文字報導、紀錄片製作、記實記事、主持等經驗，融於深入淺出，與時並進的華語文教學課程中。

課程提綱:

• 定位時下的公開演說形式，方可提供美籍華裔學生正確的培訓需求。
• 學習公開演說的終極目標所為何來？
• 千里之行始於師生親的團隊合作。
• 個人演講比賽與多媒體簡報競賽的相同和不同之處。
• 如何準備比賽～主題與內容，技巧與執行，台風與儀態，自然與自信。
• 他山之石可以為錯～模仿精湛的演說並改進自己的缺失。
• 千錘百鍊，溫故知新，去蕪存菁，只進行有效率的練習。
• 在比賽現場如何面對突發狀況並化危機為轉機？
• 賽後修正與展望，下一站（戰）會更好。

課程內容

• 美籍華裔學生的學校和日常生活與表演方式必須契合。培訓學生以40年前，傳統的台灣演講方式參賽，是切割學生今後參與各項演說最鋒利的一把刀。「善刀而藏」意味過時之物，適可而止。

• 凡走過必留下；含淚學習的，必歡呼收穫。練習過程中豐收友情、知識、親情與自信，學生與家庭，終生受用。

• 指導老師～Coach是教導學生公開演說的靈魂人物，家長承擔著「成也蕭何，敗也蕭何」的關鍵角色，然而學生卻是團隊中，唯一需要上台演出，獨自面對賽果的一員。所謂「初生之犢不畏虎」，零基礎的學生最容易被教導，家長的配合度也最高；所以一個比賽的完成是師生親的共同成就，而榮譽則應盡歸於學生。演講是original oratory 原創講稿；多媒體簡報是informative speaking 訊息分享。

• 兩者之間對於主題發揮、撰稿內容、表演方式、表演人數的相同與不同處，有「殊途同歸」亦有「大相逕庭」的準備過程。毋慌亂也毋須懼怕，因為：舜何人予何人？有為者亦若是！

• 長達數月的準備與練習過程中，如何做到「事半功倍」而不是「人仰馬翻」？「立竿見影」而非「徒勞無功」？智慧、毅力與勇氣缺一不可。效率與效果是把雙刃刀，手起刀落之間如何合理運用「雙效」，達到有利無弊的「雙贏」，至為關鍵。

• 主辦單位合理的規則制定與評審的專業素養，亦是決定賽果的要因。陪伴學生參賽應以『但求無愧己心，豈能善盡人意？』的態度來面對輸贏。只要團隊肯繼續前行，不斷的捲土重來，終有『守得雲開見月明』的一日。因為參賽即得獎，而獲得名次就是bonus。學生學到的都是自己的，別人拿不走。

• 賽後檢討是和自己比還是和第一名比？美國隊在世界杯足球賽後，當然是向「阿根廷」學習，以奪冠2026「美加墨世界杯」為終極目標，而不應以每次「有進步」即可來劃地自限，learning form the best！

時間: 02/18/2023（星期六）

美東時間晚上七點三十分至九點三十分; 美中六點三十分至八點三十分; 美西四點三十分至六點三十分; 夏威夷下午二點三十分至四點三十分; 臺灣時間 02/19/2023 (星期日)早上八點三十分至十點三十分
