THE PURPOSE
OF SPEAKING. 1. To gain a response. The Lesson should be designed to reach a certain Aaim.@ What is the Aaim@ of
the lesson? The objective? What response is the subject matter reaching for? 2. To inform. HOW DOES ONE
KNOW OR HOW CAN ONE FIND OUT IF THE AIMS ARE REACHED? 1. Tape the
lesson, and listen to the tape analyzing several components of a good speech. Tone of voice. By tone of voice the listener detects the spirit of the
teacher. Every human being has, been condition by their life style to respond
to tones of voice. High pitches irritates and gives the impression one is not
serious, or is angry. Medium pitches give comfort, encouragement, and strength. Lower pitches, indicate self reliance on the part of the
speaker, control, authority, and the impression that the speaker means
business. Inflection. Inflection in voice and words, give us the implied meaning
of the speaker. Is he serious loving, nourishing, desirous of good, angry,
using inflammable words to twist meaning, punch out or dump on another, or simply inform. Speakers who=s tone and inflection rises at the end of a
sentence gives the impression of non seriousness. It becomes irritating, and
listeners shut out the lesson and think of other things. When the tone and inflection stays on a monotone, it puts
the hearers to sleep. When the inflection and tone is used properly the hearer
will get the message. The tone reveals the attitude and spirit of the speaker. Tone of voice. Tone of voice is the most important part of the teachers
message. If the tone bothers the
students they are not getting the message. If the message is given in
sincerity, from the heart, and to
the glory of God, the tone will exhibit such and it will be heard and under stood. Volume. Volume is also important. Every one must hear, but not be
yelled at. Speaking to the students as if you were
talking to friends is most important. Jesus did not orate. Orations are for
the momentary gratification of the speaker, not the listeners. Speed of speaking. Too slow, attention will be lost. The mind will drift. To fast will not permit many to grasp and internalize the
message. The truths cannot sink in. All learning is connecting, what one hears, to his own
frame of reference. Control of the speaking situation. The teacher must arouse the pupils mind to gain the desired
effect. Does the deliberateness of speaking place the information
in the brain of the listener? The teacher thinks, selects proper words to clarify his
meaning, then speaks, the student hears and reacts. Then the teacher should
react to the students actions. Learning, by the student, is thinking into his own
understanding. Various clues are fed back to the teacher as teaching
progresses. Jesus taught with authority. His words and manner of
speaking commanded respect. The teacher should get up, speak up, then shut up. It is evident when the
teacher has not studied or has run out of soap. He/she will ramble and ramble
or pray and pray. |
