s'il ne s'agit pas d'une therapie en logopédie (cela me semble un peu tard en 7ème année)

disagree  Bram Poldervaart: je n'ai jamais entendu cours d'articulation, par contre cours de diction se dit, mais logopedie englobe plus de chose: diction, articulation, phonétique etc..

cours d'allocution obligatoire


Explanation:
Je me suis inscrit, en septième année, à un cours obligatoire d'allocution.

You can also say "j'ai suivi un cours..." if you didn't just enroll in the course (but also took it).

An "allocution" is a short informal speech. By informal, I mean a "talk", as in giving a talk (or a speech) on what you did last summer, show and tell, or something like that.

And, to clarify some of the other answers given, to help you decide.

Logopédie: courses/teaching to correct defects in speech (like lisping, mumbling).
Articulation: enunciation (pronouncing each letter or syllable very clearly).
