The activities of the Japan Society are made possible thanks to the support of its members. This event is free of charge and open to all. We realise that this is a difficult time for many people. However, if you are planning to attend and do not have a membership subscription as an individual or through your employer, please consider making a donation. You can find details of membership and how to join the Japan Society community here.

The Japan Society Bilingual Public Speaking Club offers an interactive space to improve communication and presentation abilities in English and/or Japanese, learning techniques and tricks to develop confidence in speaking in public.

This monthly event is open to anyone who is willing to participate and speak in Japanese or English. Good knowledge of Japanese and English is recommended. Japanese native speakers and students of Japanese or English are encouraged to participate! The main focus of the Club is on developing public speaking skills, rather than grammatical accuracy.

We informally follow the methodology of the Association of Speakers Clubs (ASC) with each participant taking a different role each time (speaker, evaluator, helper) both in English and Japanese. Everyone will have the opportunity to speak and support others to succeed in speaking in public in their chosen language.

Each session also includes an ice breaker to allow each participant to speak briefly to the group at the start. We miss the opportunity to chat to each other in person, but hope this will help people relax and get to know each other.

You can find more information about the different roles required below and more details about public speaking clubs in the ASC website.

You can also follow our LinkedIn group to keep up-to-date about the club and the role allocation.

We are grateful to Nomura for hosting this event.

Roles available

Different roles are required (speakers, evaluators, helpers) both in English and Japanese, so please let us know on the booking form which role(s) you would like to take. We will try to accommodate all requests in this session or in other sessions in the following months. First-time attendees are encouraged to take roles which require less speaking time.
