Testbeszéden

Testbeszéden, also known as test speech or test address, is a formal speech delivered by a candidate in a debate or competition, such as the World Scholars Cup or the World Youth Debate Championships. The purpose of a testbeszéden is to assess the candidate's public speaking skills, argumentation, and overall performance in a competitive setting.

The speech typically lasts for a set amount of time, usually between 5 to 7 minutes, and is evaluated based on several criteria. These criteria may include the clarity and coherence of the argument, the use of evidence and examples, the ability to respond to opposing arguments, and the overall delivery and presentation of the speech. The testbeszéden is often followed by a question-and-answer session, where the candidate's ability to think on their feet and engage with the audience is also assessed.

Testbeszéden is an important component of many competitive events, as it provides a platform for candidates to showcase their skills and knowledge in a structured and evaluative environment. It is a crucial part of the selection process for many organizations and competitions, including those that aim to identify and nurture future leaders and public speakers.
