2. Strategies for successful speaking

3. Speaking is an important part of our
personality. Therefore we should try to
improve our speaking. In School, Home or
office we spend much time in speaking.
Because most of us speak much more than
we write.
Speaking is an act of making vocal sounds.
We can say that speaking means to
converse, or expressing one's thoughts and
feelings in spoken language. To speak often
implies conveying information.

your homework. If you
are well-prepared, the
listeners will feel
satisfied. This thing will
add to your respect and
reputation.
BE WELL PREPARED

7. If you are going to speak about a
person, idea or event etc, think
carefully about what is involved. Your
audience will understand you best if
the ideas are presented in a good
order. Put yourself in the position of a
person who does not know the
subject. Decide what he will need to
know first . If you present ideas in an
order, your listener will be able to
understand easily.
ORGANIZE LOGICALLY

8. Effective speaking contains
many things other than words.
The proper atmosphere is the
first essential step. The place
should be neat, well lighted,
well ventilated and free from
disturbances.
POSITIVE IMPRESSION

9. Eye contact plays a vital role in
speech and speaking. Look
directly into your audience’s
eyes, but do not stare at them.
Spread your attention over all
selections of the audience
equally. With a large group,
maintain eye contact with those
in first rows. Eye contact keeps
the audience attentive.
EYE CONTACT

10. Too many speakers are satisfied
merely to present the information. It
is the duty of the speaker to make
the speech interesting. Especially
important is an interesting opening.
You may have noticed that very
young children seldom talk together
rather they talk at each other. Avoid
this thing. Guide the people by
intelligence, humor, and courtesy.

16. Listening is receiving language
through the ears. Listening
involves identifying the sounds
of speech and processing them
into words and sentences. When
we listen, we use our ears to
receive individual sounds
(letters, stress, rhythm and
pauses) and we use our brain to
convert these into messages
that mean something to us

• Focusing on the message
• Comprehending and
interpreting

STRATEGIES FOR LISTENING

18. ACTIVE LISTENING
Active listening is a skill that can be
acquired and developed with practice.
Active listening involves listening with
all senses. As well as giving full
attention to the speaker, it is important
that the ‘active listener’ is also ‘seen’ to
be listening - otherwise the speaker
may conclude that what they are
talking about is uninteresting to the
listener.

19. SIGNS OF ACTIVE LISTENING
Positive Reinforcement:Although a strong signal of attentiveness, caution
should be used when using positive verbal reinforcement.
Remembering:Remembering details, ideas and concepts from previous
conversations proves that attention was kept and is likely to encourage the
speaker to continue.
Questioning:The listener can demonstrate that they have been paying
attention by asking relevant questions.
Reflection:Reflecting is closely repeating or paraphrasing what the speaker
has said in order to show comprehension.
Clarification:Clarifying involves asking questions of the speaker to ensure that
the correct message has been received.
Summarisation:Repeating a summary of what has been said back to the
speaker is a technique used by the listener to repeat what has been said in their
own words.
