About the Article
This Teaching Paper offers a comprehensive glossary of key terms in public speaking coaching, linking academic concepts to practical applications. The glossary defines over thirty foundational terms across four domains—communication techniques, psychological strategies, coaching frameworks, and feedback models—each accompanied by a practical note demonstrating real-world use. By creating a shared vocabulary between coaches and learners, this resource fosters alignment, clarity, and consistency in communication training. Illustrated through a youth leadership case study, the paper highlights how terminology can become a powerful pedagogical tool, enhancing learning outcomes and confidence. Designed for trainers, scholars, and practitioners, it bridges theoretical understanding with applied skill-building in diverse educational and non-profit settings.
