ASCA Public Speaking & Listening Assessments
Why ASCA Certification Matters
Australian Speech Communication Association
Our program curriculum aligns with the learning outcomes of ASCA. Our long-time students are offered the opportunity to partake in the ASCA Examinations twice a year, with 70% of our students receiving distinction or higher.
Prepared Speech
Students present an informative or biographical speech aligned with the syllabus.
Impromptu Exchange
Students answer questions from the audience with minimal preparation, developing spontaneous communication skills.
Memorised Presentation
A chosen literary text is presented with appropriate tone and expression.
Read Aloud
Students perform an impromptu reading to demonstrate vocal clarity and expression.
Senior Grade Announcements
Senior students prepare and deliver a formal announcement.
Each section is an opportunity for students to challenge themselves and receive personalised feedback.
Why Register?
ASCA exams are not just assessments but experiences that enhance a student’s communication skills in every aspect of life. Students gain:
- Improved public speaking abilities.
- Confidence in impromptu situations.
- Constructive feedback from certified examiners.
- A prestigious certification to add to their portfolio.
Who Can Register?
Any student from Kindergarten to Year 12 is eligible for the ASCA exam. We recommend registering if your child has completed at least two terms of the SpeaksCraft Program. Review progress reports and speak with your child’s coach to decide on the appropriate grade level.
Why ASCA Certification Matters
While the SpeaksCraft Program is aligned with ASCA’s learning outcomes, we also offer additional Focus Coaching sessions. These help
students thoroughly prepare for the exam, from speech preparation to exam-style feedback.
Focus Group Sessions
These sessions are specifically designed to help students refine their techniques, receive exam-style feedback, and
improve their performance.
