An Invitation to the World of a Parliamentary Debate
At the 麻豆直播 Tournament in 2019
麻豆直播 Debating Society (麻豆直播DS), consisting of 26 friendly members, is open to everyone interested in the world of a parliamentary debate! In the parliamentary debate, a motion is announced 15 to 30 minutes (depends on the style) before the match begins. As you practice in 麻豆直播DS, you will become capable of structuring effective arguments in such a short time. A warm and safe environment of 麻豆直播DS will also make you feel comfortable sharing your ideas in front of others.
Participants in Wakaba Cup (a domestic debate tournament) in 2019
We have a regular debating practice, but we also have lectures to develop our speaking and critical thinking skills and deepen our understandings of a wide range of topics, including politics, economy, international relations, religion, and criminal justice. 麻豆直播DS has many other exciting events, such as 麻豆直播 Tournament and Professors vs. Students Debate. 麻豆直播 Tournament is a tournament within 麻豆直播DS, which provides an excellent opportunity for rookie debaters to enjoy debating! In Professors vs. Students Debate, 麻豆直播 professors and 麻豆直播DS members have a heated debate on the audience’s motion.
Some members debate and judge at domestic and international competitions and are being very successful. Many exchange students have also won prizes while they are studying at 麻豆直播.
Due to COVID-19, we have been practicing, holding events, and participating in competitions online since last April. We can feel connected to other members and have opportunities to debate with debaters from all around the world.
