Narasumber Workshop Public Speaking For Teacher “Make An Affective Communication For Student” Bagi Sekolah Dasar Sekecamatan Ngawi

Abstract

This workshop aims to enhance the competence and confidence of Elementary School teachers in Ngawi District in applying public speaking and affective communication skills as the primary means of instruction and interaction with students. Affective communication, which emphasizes emotional aspects, empathy, and positive relationships, is crucial at the Elementary level to motivate, build character, and ensure comprehensive understanding of the material. This community service activity was conducted as an interactive workshop using training, case studies, demonstrations, and practical exercises. The materials covered included public speaking techniques relevant for teachers (such as intonation, body language, managing speaking anxiety), affective communication strategies (including active listening, constructive feedback, and the use of empathetic language), and how to apply them in the context of Elementary classroom learning. Participants were representatives of teachers from all Elementary Schools in Ngawi District.
It is expected that through this workshop, teachers will master strong verbal and non-verbal communication techniques to deliver lessons in a more engaging, clear, and persuasive manner. This enhancement in affective communication skills will directly impact the creation of a more positive, interactive, and supportive classroom climate, ultimately boosting the learning motivation, self-confidence, and engagement of Elementary students in the educational process. Post-workshop evaluation results are expected to show a significant increase in teachers' confidence in public speaking and their understanding of the importance of student-centered communication.
