ESF Explore Summer Camp 2026: Upper Primary Debate & Dialogue

ESF EXPLORE SUMMER PROGRAMME 2026 – Upper Debate & Dialogue 

Ages 9-11 years

Debates are fun and engaging activities that exercise the brain to use all four skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking, sometimes concurrently.

• In this course, students will:
• Understand how debating works, what the rules are and how to debate effectively
• Use formal language, persuasive techniques and connectives in a speech
• Structure ideas on a given topic, using evidence and examples to enhance arguments
• Develop critical thinking, collaboration and communication skills
• Learn to express themselves confidently, coherently and assertively
• This course is suitable for students who are new to debating and those who have already developed a taste for debating in their primary schools. It can also prepare them for a variety of opportunities that they will come across in their secondary schools.
