Book Description
Excerpt from Fundamentals of Oral English: A Course for Secondary Schools There is a growing demand among our secondary schools for systematic instruction in Oral English to supplement the work in literature and in composition. Appreciation of literary masterpieces and effectiveness in written communication are two great aims of all instruction in the mother tongue. However, the vernacular is primarily a spoken language and happily a realization is awakening that preparation for effective living demands the ability to speak well one's own native tongue; that this ability rests upon habits of body, of voice, and of mind which can be directed and cultivated; and that bad habits of speaking, if they are taken early enough, can be eradicated. In response to this increasing conviction, many secondary schools are attempting, in more or less random ways, to find some method of instruction in oral work; but there are as yet comparatively few attempts systematically to organize courses in Oral English which shall correlate with the general courses in English. Purposes of this Bulletin The purposes of this bulletin are: (1.) To develop proper habits of the body as the basis of effective speaking. This does not refer to gesticulation, a subject which has been omitted entirely. (2.) To eradicate the most obvious faults of vocalization by substituting for them correct habits. (3.) To furnish drill in articulation, enunciation, and pronunciation. (4.) To emphasize, primarily, vocalization, through constant oral practice in class and outside of it. (5) To give practice in the informal discussion of current topics. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Oral English and Public Speaking The need of training students in our schools in oral English has passed the stage of argument. Since in everyday life we speak hundreds of times as often as we write it is obvious, from the viewpoint of using language as a tool, that training in oral composition is quite as important as practice in the written form. To emphasize written composition more than oral English is, therefore, inconsistent with sound pedagogy. With training for citizenship as the objective, this book deals with all phases of oral English that lend themselves to more or less formal class instruction, adapted in treatment to the needs of secondary schools. In common usage the term "Oral English" is somewhat elastic. It includes the most elementary forms of spoken language, while "Public Speaking" connotes the more formal relation of a speaker and an audience. Hence, the use of both terms in the title. Notwithstanding the agitation for the incorporation of oral expression in the regular class work in English, no standardization of the content of such work has as yet been effected, as shown by the wide variation of treatment in existing texts on this subject. The present text aims to fix some definite standards; the content and plan of the book, with the reasons therefor, are outlined in the Introduction. While the needs of secondary schools have been kept primarily in mind, oral English should not, of course, be left for the high school alone, nor in the high school for the teacher of English alone.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1913 edition. Excerpt: ... formal elements in oral english Having analyzed good oral reading into its component elements, and compared them with the elements of good speech, the next step is to consider each of the elements in turn, that we may find out how it contributes to excellence in reading aloud and efficiency in speech, and how one may improve his reading and speech by strengthening that particular element. position Effect of Position upon Voice.--The position assumed in reading or speaking should always be considered, because it affects the voice, the speaker himself and his audience. The voice is a quick reporter of physical conditions: for a lifeless tone of voice results from taking a lazy position, a squeezed tone from cramping the chest and throat, and an animated tone from standing alert. By the poise of the head the tone is given general direction. Bow the head, and you aim the tone at the floor; raise the chin, and you send it toward the ceiling. A marksman aims his rifle in the direction he wishes the charge to travel. We should aim the voice where we wish it to go. Effect of Position upon the Reader or Speaker.--In a good position a reader (or speaker) is less likely to be selfconscious and ill at ease. He forgets that he has hands and feet, and feels stronger and more confident. With broadened chest, he gives his lungs an opportunity to breathe freely and easily, so that he can swing through a long sentence with no nervous gaspings for fresh supplies of air. From such a position, the speaker can easily make a transition to another position, or enforce his thought by gesture. If then reading or speaking is prolonged, he will be less fatigued at the close, than he would have been had he persisted in bad positions throughout his reading or...
