Not long time ago i just share with you about effective listening but today i will share about the similiar topic which is effective speaking. Everyone has to be a listener sometimes example at lectures, presentations, meetings and on the telephone. We spend a lot of our time listening to others talking. When standard of spoken presentation is poor it might cause bored, irritated and also embrassased as listeners. For me my skill of speaking is important because i am a teacher and 99% of my co business is talking and give lectures. A first stage in building up the confidence to speak is to think about the job of speaking, what tools you will use and what effects you aim to achieve. Language is the basic tools and language is a mysterious phenomenon.
Improve speaking skills
• Become more aware of ourselves, our motivations, behaviour patterns and likely mistakes.
• Be aware of the audience pschology and their reactions to the speakers faults and omissions.
Give successful talk or presentation
• Think about the audience, they are passive, not passive or participants: They are the recipients of the information, it must be selected and tailored fot their needs. They are also the people whose presence will make you nervous when you speak, whose reactions will depress or encourage you and their judgement will measure your success or failure.
• Think about the context
• How large an audience
• The structure of groups
• Attention controlling
Selecting, Planning and arranging the material
• Be prepared (Good Speakers are prepared) : preparation is the key of confident. The confidence comes from speakers knowledge that he or she has everything ready throught the whole subject and has enough of the right material to support the presentation.
• Thoughtful Selection : The first decision in making a selection of material is what you are going to leave out not what are going to put in. Mix old and new information will be the best selection.
