Why Your Child Needs English Debate Classes

If your child knows English grammar and vocabulary but struggles to speak, what they truly need is English debate training. Debate goes beyond casual conversation—it teaches structured thinking and logical expression. It’s a core skill for confident communication in English.

Who Should Join an English Debate Program?

  • Students who memorize well but struggle to speak naturally
  • Elementary to middle school students lacking experience in organizing and expressing ideas in English
  • Learners preparing for international schools or U.S.-style education
  • Students who want to enhance creativity, speaking skills, and presentation ability

What Makes Nao Now’s Debate Classes Different

1. Curriculum Designed by a World Champion

Nao Now’s debate program was designed by Rachel Mullen, the World Individual Debating and Public Speaking Champion and former Yale student body president—who once shared the stage with President Joe Biden. Her expertise is embedded into every class.

2. 1:1 Customized Online Classes

All debate lessons are one-on-one, conducted by Ivy League mentors. Every session is tailored to match your child’s level, personality, and learning needs.

3. Authentic American Debate Structure

We follow a classic U.S. debate format:
Opinion → Reasoning → Rebuttal → Counterargument → Final Statement
Students learn to go beyond "yes/no" answers and develop persuasive logic.

Debate Curriculum by Level

🐣 Beginner (Level 1–2)

Sample topics: “Is breakfast really necessary?”, “Pizza vs. Burgers”
Goal: Expressing opinions and building basic argument skills

🚀 Intermediate (Level 3–4)

Sample topics: “What’s the right age for smartphones?”, “Can AI replace teachers?”
Goal: Improving real-world topic discussion and debate structure

🎓 Advanced (Level 5)

Sample topics: “Should humans colonize Mars?”, “Climate change and humanity’s future”
Goal: Critical thinking and persuasive speaking on global issues

How a Typical Class Works

Monthly Live Debate Workshop

How to Prepare for English Debate Class

To get the most from debate classes, help your child:

  • Practice self-introduction: “I like ~ because ~”
  • Learn opinion phrases: “I think,” “In my opinion”
  • Think from both sides: build pro/con habits
  • Discuss everyday topics in English at home
  • Build confidence: remind them that “It’s okay to make mistakes!”

Why Debate is Essential Now

There’s a huge difference between a child who knows English and one who can use it to express their thoughts.

Nao Now’s debate program transforms students into real English communicators.

The Problem with Traditional English Education

Many Korean students do well on English exams but freeze in real-life conversations. Why? Because they’ve learned English as a subject, not as a tool for communication.

Debate bridges that gap. It trains students to use English as a means of self-expression, persuasion, and creative thinking—skills required in the age of AI and global collaboration.

Long-Term Benefits of English Debate

Debate doesn’t just improve language—it builds:

  • Logical reasoning
  • Persuasion
  • Leadership

For students preparing for international school admission or overseas study, debate is a must. It develops active participation, self-directed learning, and adaptability—skills that help them thrive in global classrooms.

Parent’s Guide to Choosing the Right Debate Class

What to look for:

  • Instructor expertise: Teaching English ≠ Teaching debate. Look for trained educators like Nao Now’s Ivy League mentors.
  • Structured curriculum: Ensure the program follows a proven debate framework—not just casual conversation.
  • 1:1 customization: Classes should adapt to your child’s level, interests, and personality.

Tips to Maximize Class Results at Home

  • Talk with your child about debate topics—even in Korean
  • Celebrate every improvement, no matter how small
  • Reinforce this mindset: “Speaking up is more important than being perfect.”
