Are you looking for the internship of a lifetime? \u00a0We asked Derrick Stevens to talk about why you should join him in Shanghai this summer as a Debate Intern. \u00a0Here\u2019s what he had to say:<\/p>\n
Debate is a unique activity. It combines competition, critical thinking, public speaking, and argumentation in a way very few other activities do. Debate\u2019s global reach shows just how much students value thee experiences and skills that debate provides. That global reach touches students in communities in so many different countries and allows students to show how they uniquely contribute to the debate world.<\/p>\n
China is no different. There are multiple organizations, using different formats, which many students compete in. Debate in China has seen rising popularity over the last decade, at every level, from middle school all the way to college. China committed to providing debate to middle and high school students in 2013 when the National Speech and Debate Association China, from the United States NSDA, was established. NSDA China allows students to participate in public forum debate as well as original oratory competition, entirely in English. Most students do these competitions in their second language. NSDA competitions are all over many regions in China and provides middle and high school students with as many competitive opportunities as possible all over the country.<\/p>\n
ENREACH provides students the opportunity to learn debate, academically and competitively, in the public forum format. ENREACH also provides former debaters, debate coaches, and teachers alike the opportunity to work with motivated, competitive students who want nothing less than the highest level of competitive success.<\/p>\n
Our summer debate interns provide invaluable aid and instruction to our students, in pursuit of these goals. Being an intern at ENREACH means that you will get classroom teaching experience. Being an intern at ENREACH means that you will get upfront coaching experience with students who want to compete. Being an intern at ENREACH means that you will get to experience firsthand the impact of debate globally.<\/p>\n
