Speech
SPEECH - Semester one
Improving interpersonal speech skills, such as conversation, empathetic listening, nonverbal
communication, interviewing, speaking formally, speaking informally, and using language
effectively are the learning goals in Speech I. Students develop self-confidence and build
communication skills needed for social situations and career success through a variety of
individual and group speaking projects.
SPEECH - Semester two
Preparing and presenting formal speeches, using support materials, visual aids, research and
persuasive techniques reinforce basic speech skills and give students an opportunity to
develop their speaking abilities. Critical thinking and listening skills will increase as students
become aware of how speaking techniques are used in every day life. In addition, oral
interpretation skills and performance techniques will be demonstrated and developed.
Speech Homework For the week of November 16:
Objectives: Students will be able to explain the difference between hearing and listening, identify the components of the listening process, describe the four different kinds of listening, and explain why good listening habits are important.
