Students with anxiety or Specific Learning Differences can struggle to participate in oral assessments confidently and equitably. There are limited options for building confident communication skills in a safe space, which means that some students are left behind their peers when it comes to career readiness.
Research has found that practicing in short segments ("mini-speeches") with scaffolded feedback can reduce anxiety by approximately 30% (Ölmezer-Öztürk & Öztürk, 2021). This is just one of the principles Present is designed on.
Genio Present levels the playing field by allowing students to rehearse until they feel safe. This boosts their confidence and ensures their grades reflect their knowledge, not their anxiety.
Join us as we take a look at some of the specific barriers faced by learners, and find out how one institution is already using Genio Present to help students:
- Overcome anxiety
