Completion requirements
WAG is short for Word of the Day, Ah Um Counter, and Grammarian. In some clubs, these roles are split up, but in others, they go together. This will cover these three roles as one combined role.
1. What is the WAG?
One of the objectives of Toastmasters training is to help us to improve all of our language skills. The WAG helps us accomplish that in our meetings by performing three functions. The first duty is to prepare and monitor the use of a “Word of the Day” that will help us expand our vocabulary and test our improvisation skills. The second is the “ah” counter which helps to break us of the terrible habit of saying “ah”, “um”, “you know”, and many other verbal pauses. This helps members build smoother speaking habits. The final duty is to record and report any errors members make in grammar, pronunciation, word usage, and sentence construction.
Performing the WAG role will sharpen your language skills, critical thinking, and concentration.
