About the Article
This Teaching Paper presents practical methods for assessing public speaking performance in coaching contexts. It outlines five key tools—video recordings, self-assessment questionnaires, peer reviews, speech analysis software, and structured rubrics—that enable coaches to deliver data-driven feedback and foster reflective learning. The integration of these methods helps identify strengths and areas for improvement while encouraging accountability and confidence among speakers. Illustrated with practical notes and a non-profit case study, the paper demonstrates how combining multiple assessment tools enhances communication outcomes and learning efficiency. Designed for educators, practitioners, and scholars, it offers a comprehensive and adaptable framework for evaluating progress and guiding improvement in public speaking development.
