1) What is Toastmasters Club?
Toastmasters Club!!! NOT a place to make “toast”!!!
It is an educational programme for students to enhance their public speaking, impromptu and leadership skills!!!

2) History of Toastmasters International:

  • A non-profit organization originated at YMCA in Santa Ana, California since 1924;
  • It now has nearly 250,000 members in more than 12,500 clubs in 106 countries;
  • Members learn and practise by participating and fulfilling the roles in a meeting, ranging from giving a PREPARED SPEECH or IMPROMPTU one to serve as a TIMER, ‘AH’-COUNTER, GRAMMARIAN, TABLE TOPIC MASTER and EVALUATORS;
  • There is no instructor; instead, each speech and meeting are critiqued by members in a positive manner, focusing on what was done right and what could be improved.
  • Listening, Public Speaking, Impromptu, Evaluating, Appreciating, Public Relationship and Leadership Skills can be mastered through the toastmaster meetings.

3) How Toastmasters Work?

  • Conducting Meetings - Members learn how to plan and conduct meetings.
  • Giving impromptu speeches - Members are required to present one to two minutes impromptu speeches in assigned topics.
  • Offering constructive evaluation - Every prepared speaker is assigned an evaluator who points out speech strengths and offers suggestions for improvement.
