Description The contribution uses a corpus of BBC Radio 4 Any Questions panel discussions, which were taped and transcribed in 1996 and 2011 and the author looks at strategies used by speakers on the panel to persuade the audience about their value judgements and opinions. The main focus is placed on some sociolinguistic and pragmatic aspects of public speaking discourse. Research results have implications for teaching spoken EAP and ESP through videoconferencing.
