Transcripts
now we are going to talk about the roles
and responsibilities of each speaker in
the team debating and especially Asian
parliamentary format it's a team sport
and teams compete against other teams
and just like in any other team
persuasion activity like a team
presentation right each speaker has a
specific role and responsibility it's
important to realize at the start though
that these are guidelines these are not
rules it doesn't mean that if you don't
do one of these things you will
automatically lose the debate however
these guidelines are created in order to
give you the most amount of efficiency
when persuading right so they will help
you function as a team more effectively
and persuade more efficiently so the
speakers and the teams all have a
specific kind of a name and location in
order to I guess roleplay a little bit
and make it more interesting so in the
government team the first speaker is
called the Prime Minister and his or her
second speaker is the Deputy Prime
Minister and then the government whip in
the opposition the first speaker is the
leader of opposition followed by the
deputy leader of opposition and
opposition whip I'm sure you see a
pattern forming here so we're going to
talk about these roles in the order in
which they will speak in the debate so
the first speaker of government first
the Prime Minister and then the leader
of opposition and then the Deputy Prime
Minister deputy of Opposition and so on
so let's look at the prime minister now
as the first figure of the debate you
have three essential things that you
must do firstly you must define and set
up the debate secondly you need to
present your team's position and the
team's case and thirdly you must make
one or two arguments now let's look at
those things in turn defining and
setting up the debate so both teams have
a topic the first speakers job is to
tell them how we are going to tell
everyone rather how we are going to
define the topic how are we going to use
this topic in this debate right now they
should take the most literal and
straightforward definition but sometimes
they can be words that need additional
clear
vacation to help people know how they're
going to be understood in this debate
now this does not mean you have to give
the dictionary definition of every word
right but you need to tell people how
your team is going to understand and
apply some of the words for example if
the topic is that we would then smoking
in the university campus okay so teams
perhaps don't need to explain what
smoking is if everyone knows what
smoking is right smoking cigarette so we
go whatever's legally defined as smoking
but they might need to say what they
exactly mean by ban and how they're
going to regulate it they might need to
say also where is the boundary of the
university campus today are they talking
about buildings the surrounding area of
the buildings or within the fence not
clarifying these issues at the start
could lead to confusion right so you
have to define the debate in a way that
does not lead to confusion you cannot
define the debate in a overly narrow or
small way in order to give yourself too
much of an advantage because this still
needs to be a debate you also need to
set up the debate now setting up the
debate means well just like setting up a
stage you are going to tell people what
are the things they need to know in
order for this debate to happen so that
means giving them like a context why is
this debate important what is the
background to this issue tell people how
this debate is to be evaluated right
today perhaps in that same example I
might say that there is a big problem
there's a rise of younger people smoking
has been very difficult to clamp down
this also problem with you know
littering and second-hand smoking and so
on and so forth and what we want to do
is address and to solve these problems
right
so that would be defining the debate and
then setting up the debate these things
are important to create clarity to avoid
confusion and help people decide how to
evaluate the debate the second thing you
would do as Prime Minister is
present your position and your team's
case the position is how are we going to
approach this debate what do we believe
in what are we going to prove right and
what is my team going to do so do we
believe how do we believe that people
need to have their rights limited are we
trying to regulate people what is our
position right and you present your case
so your case means the arguments of the
entire team this means having to present
your team's split so what am I going to
talk about and what my second speak is
going to talk about this makes your
entire case more easily understood by
the other team and most importantly by
the judges and the audience sometimes
your team's will have a policy or a plan
right so the three things we're going to
do we're going to do this and we're
going to do that and we're going to do
this so you're going to explain in
detail how you're going to implement
your solution that also needs to come
out in this part when you're presenting
your position and your case the final
thing the prime minister will do is
present arguments so the first reason or
the second reason right and then you
know you'll summarize end up close your
speech emphasized why it's important
okay
so brief recap three things the prime
minister must do they must he or she
must define inside of the debate he or
she must present a position the team's
position and the team's case which would
sometimes include the policy and finally
he or she must present one or two
arguments watch an example and see if
this person does all of those things
