The Stukent Public Speaking Simulation

Make public speaking structured and stress-free for students

Give your students a hands-on way to build their confidence and communication skills! The Public Speaking Simulation immerses your students in impromptu, informative, and persuasive public speaking scenarios. To succeed, they will need to identify their audiences, use public speaking frameworks, and practice new skills by recording a short speech each round.

Pair the simulation with the “Public Speaking” courseware to reinforce concepts, sharpen delivery, and help students grow into clear, confident communicators.

Build your students’ skills with a simulation

Each round replicates real-world communication challenges, helping students build practical skills they’ll carry into any career.

The Public Speaking Simulation allows me to provide feedback in a timely manner. It is efficient and effective, and it allows you to communicate with a student and work on things together. … You can be a more active part of their education.

Final Exam

I'm one of the international students … which means English is not my first language. That, coupled with my lack of experience in public speaking, I had reservations that I'd succeed in the said course. Now that I have completed it … the content and the course have been instrumental for me to share with confidence and purpose. Impromptu speaking allowed me to think on my feet, be creative, and be concise at the same time. I was able to apply these skills during one of my interviews and nailed it!
