Toastmasters International announced at the 2021 International Virtual Convention updates to Level 1 in Pathways.
The new and much improved version of Level 1 is now member-driven with a fundamental focus on public speaking basics at the first level. This is the foundational step for all Toastmasters to take in any of the 11 educational options in Pathways.
Level 1 has four projects, with five speeches, including a mix of familiar fundamentals and new skill-buildings practices.
These projects include:
* The Ice Breaker:
This speech continues as the first project undertaken by a new member. Participants learn basic speech structure, rehearsal techniques, and the value of speech evaluations, and take the opportunity to introduce themselves to the club.
* Writing a Speech with Purpose:
This project focuses on strategies for selecting a topic, defining a purpose, and producing a well-written and organized speech.
* Introduction to Vocal Variety and Body Language:
Participants learn to recognize the impact of vocal variety and identify changes in pitch, tone, volume, and pace, as well as when and how to effectively use body language and gestures to enhance a presentation.
* Evaluation and Feedback:
This project, which comprises two speeches, teaches important skills Toastmasters will use throughout their Pathways journey and beyond: how to receive and act on constructive feedback. The requirement to serve as a speech evaluator will help members learn how to give the valuable gift of feedback to others.
