GLOBAL LEARNING FOR A GLOBAL AUDIENCE
How You Will Stand to Benefit as an Organisation
The skills taught in this course will provide the necessary intellectual background to
argumentation. It is necessary to understand rhetoric and logic in their classical context because
these terms either have acquired negative stereotypes in contemporary culture or they have
fallen into disuse. This training program will help you understand the technique of
argumentation and by understanding the classic meaning and structure it will enable you to
implement effective reasoning more successfully. You will then achieve greater influence, status,
and success in your role. Learning benefits as reported by previous course attendees include:
This course explores the importance of an audience, the regulation of uncertainty, the
difference between justification and proof, the cooperative nature of the enterprise, and

The program provides a comprehensive understanding what it means to argue as a
means of reaching decisions.
Understanding how controversies arise and how the most basic element of argument is
the claim.
How to map your case for reasoning — your set of arguments that you bring forward to
support or oppose a claim.
Understanding that identifying issues in a specific case, and addressing the issues meets
the initial burden of proof. Making your argument and reasoning more compelling.
