Question

Difference between an impromptu debate and an extemporaneous debate

Answer 1

An extemporaneous debate is when you just don't have notes, an impromptu debate is when you are called upon to speak without any notice.

Answer 2

Answer:

In an impromptu debate, participants have much less time to prepare for the debate than in an extemporaneous debate.

Explanation:

Impromptu debate: In an impromptu debate, teams don’t know the topic ahead of time. After the topic is assigned, both teams have a period, typically 30 minutes, to discuss, prepare, and plan before the debate begins.

Extemporaneous debate: In an extemporaneous debate, both teams have several days or weeks to plan and prepare their research and arguments. This lesson focuses on extemporaneous debates.
