Message presentation – steps to follow, style of and guidelines for speech delivery, with suggestions for class activities
Abstract
The present article addresses the issue of public speaking from the perspective of second language teaching to university students likely to be involved in future communication oriented careers. Defining stages of public speaking such as gaining confidence, planning and organizing, adapting to the audience and catching attention, presenting information, etc., are described according to literature in the field. Each of these aspects is in turn followed by proposals of L2 classroom activities destined to help students gain awareness and competence related to the topic. The third section is concerned with describing styles of speech delivery, while the last part is dedicated to practical guidelines for speech delivery. Both these subsections also include L2 class activities on students' practicing public speaking ranging from debates on video recordings to oral presentations and group work.
