Participating in Career's Day, Dave Rosenberger gives a biographical sketch of the speaker in his introduction. Basic speech provides opportunity to practice art of communication Being able to communicate one's thoughts and desires to others is a basic necessity in the modern world. However, organization, directness, clarity and articulation are not qualities people are usually born with. Skill in these areas requires training. Recognizing this, Seaholm requires a semester of basic speech in order to graduate. The best way to accomplish speech goals is, understandably, to give students extensive practice in speaking. Generally, there is one speech assigned per week. The first assignments concentrate on de- veloping basic speaking technique. Proper eye contact, correct posture and articulation are stressed in these speeches. After the basic tech- niques are learned, students go on to humorous readings, demonstra- tion speeches, impromptu speaking, debates and formal addresses. After completing this course, a student should be able to give a speech in almost any manner at any occasion. Speech class emphasis is not entirely on speaking. The techniques of criticism are learned as students evaluate the speeches of others. A textbook teaching the development of communication and many principles of good speaking is also used.
