Speech & Debate
These classes, Communication Studies 223, 224, and 225, prepare the student to participate in intercollegiate speech
and debate competition. Students in Communication Studies 223 learn advanced public speaking techniques associated with
prepared and limited prepared public address. Communication Studies 224 focuses on the skills necessary to debate
effectively in front of a judge and in the presence of an opposing team. Communication Studies 225 prepares students
to compete in oral interpretation events, introducing students to quality literature and the skills
necessary to analyze, cut, and present enlightening and entertaining oral readings.
The competitive speech and debate classes coincide tournament travel with the speech and debate club.
We travel to 2 or 3 tournaments per quarter. We compete on the Northwest Forensic Conference.
