Debat adalah kegiatan adu argumentasi antara dua pihak atau lebih, baik secara
perorangan maupun kelompok, dalam mendiskusikan dan memutuskan masalah dan
perbedaan. Debat ada dalam berbagai bahasa. Bahasa Indonesia, Jerman, dll. Tapi
kali ini mari kita bahas tentang English Debate (Debat Bahasa Inggris).
Nah gals, seorang debater harus memiliki beberapa
diantaranya :
a. Vocabulary
b. Expressions
c. Sharing opinions, etc
Sistem debat juga ada beberapa macam. Ada Australian
Debate Rules, Australia-Asia Debate Rules (Australasia System). Motion (Topik)
dalam debat biasanya menggunakan :
- “Thbt” : This House Believe That
- “Thw” : This House Would
AUSTRALIAN DEBATE SYSTEM
Istilah-istilah dalam debat :
- Motion : Topik yang
diperdebatkan
- Negative Team
- Positive/Affirmative
Team
- Limitation : Batasan yang harus diberikan oleh team positif agar
pembicaraan tidak panjang lebar dan tidak sesuai dengan motion, digunakan
untuk membatasi pembicaraan. Limitation juga bisa digunakan sebagai penjebak apabila team lawan
berargumen yg keluar dari limitation anda. Jika positif team tidak memberi
limitation maka haknya bisa diambil oleh negatif team dan itu sangat
berbahaya, karena jalur pembicaraan dipegang team lawan. Limitation sudah terletak pada
Themeline, tidak usah disendirikan antara Themeline dan Limitation.
- Team Split : Bagian yang
akan di bicarakan oleh masing-masing speaker.
- Education
point of view
- Economic
point of view
- Social
point of view
- Law point of
view, etc
- Themeline : Garis besar/inti dari
motion yang diambil dari keseluruhan argument.
- Manner : Cara penyampaian
argument (sopan, tegas, meyakinkan, suara jangan sampai lembek karena
berpengaruh pada kekuatan argument,
juga body language.)
- Matter: Materi yang
disampaikan harus sesuai dan berhubungan dengan motion.
- Reply Speech : Kesimpulan dari ketiga
argument yang menguatkan. Bisa di bawakan oleh 1st atau 2nd
speaker, kita menyampaikan kelemahan lawan dan kelebihan/kekuatan tim
kita.
- Challenge
- Best Solution (untuk negative team)
- Link back (untuk positive team)
- Contoh

Assalamu’alaikum Wr.Wb
Good day every body. Honorable to the judge, moderator, time keeper, my
beloved negative team and all of the audience. Let me introduce my self. My
name is Rucita Alma Maulidya as 2nd speaker, I will talking about
healthy point of view. And me as affirmative team absolutely agree with the
motion today because if we eat too much meat can cause bad impact for our
bodies and also the price is expensive, so people are less able difficult to
consume meat.
Okay, before I delivering my argument, I would like to make some rebutle
for 1st speaker of negative team. She/he said that …
Okay, that’s all my rebutle. And here is my argument ..
So, we are affirmative team agree with the motion today because … (link
back)
Okay, I think enough from me. Thanks.
3rd speaker :
> Greeting+Introducing
> Theme Line
> Rebutle the 2nd speaker of Neg team
> Ide Baru
> Link back
Contoh Rebutle :
I disagree with the 2nd speaker of negative team because in my
opinion, mobile phone switch off the lesson and than I disagree with 3rd speaker
because aren’t you said same with 2nd speaker that we can operating
mobile phone in the resting time. Sometimes many students get free times in the
class so that a good idea if students can refresh brain by playing game mobile
phone or hear mp3. For example, the teacher has some meeting in the room, so
student can play game and then with the fiture by mobile phone can help the
student. Like my partner argments get handphone can help this about the lesson
by using opea mini. In this proven, because as we know that teacher always give
them all difficult dtty, so the students can browse the internet in their
handphone to look for duty.
Tugas Negatif Team
Pada dasarnya sama hanya tidak perlu membuat limitation karena team
affirmatif telah menentukan sendiri. Jika
tidak ada, anda bisa merebut point itu.
Katakan saja ..
1st speaker of Neg : Well because the 1st speaker of affirmative
team didn’t give us the limitation, so here I would like to give our limitation
today...bla..bla..
1st speaker :
> Rebutle of the 1st speaker of affrimatif team
> Pembagian tugas sama seperti diatas
2nd speaker :
> Rebutle of the 2nd speaker of affirmative
> Pembagian tugas sama seperti diatas
3rd speaker :
> Rebutle of 3rd speaker of affirmative team
> Pembagian tugas sama seperti diatas
NOTICE :
- Sampaikan argument secara jelas dan tidak berbelit-belit
- Hindari kata-kata “I think”,
“In my opinion”, etc. Karena yang begitu akan
mengisyaratkan kita tidak mampu dalam berdebat, tidak ada keyakinan kita.
Gunakan saja kata “I believe
that”.
- Berusahalah cepat dan tangkas dalam berbicara.
- Jangan terdiam atau sering mengatakan “ng”. Terus saja bicara, jika ada
yang terlupa bilang saja “Well ladies and gentlemen.”
- Jangan bawa agama dalam
berdebat. Misalnya ayat-ayat Allah. Selain yang kita lawan belum tentu muslim,
itu bukan aturannya dan semua akan selesai dengan agama. Gunakan saja alasan
seperti hukum, fakta, atau prediksi. Dan ingat, NO S A R A.
- Hati-hati dengan 3rd
speaker, harus menyampaikan argument dengan jelas.
- Reply speech tidak boleh rebutlle
- Perhatikan rebuttle dari team lawan
- Evidence harus kuat dan terbaru
- Jangan terlalu sering membaca, jika membawa teks saat debat
