How do we actually help people to improve at debating? Debating is a form of non-formal learning. Most of the time, debate is not taught by teachers or professionals – but by people who debate themselves. Now, this can be very powerful! But at the same time it is important to recognise that there is a difference - and that the best debaters don't always make the best teachers. That is why I was delighted to have Przemek Stolarski on for this podcast. Przemek is a succesful coach, a Harvard postgraduate researcher into education, and the co-founder of the Think and Speak Academy, which offers online debate courses for high school students. He brings a wealth of practical coaching experience with a strong overview of the academic literature on improving how we teach debate. So this is a very important jumping-off point on how to get better at debating.
